A fault is raised on discovery of a problem and is sometimes referred to
as a non-routine, finding, or discrepancy. Faults are found and raised by
the flight crew during flights, inspections, and by technicians while
maintenance work is being performed. A fault is assessed, and either
deferred or repaired.
You can raise a fault from the Dashboard
and the
Aircraft Turn Details pages.
If the fault is being raised from within an aircraft turn, the aircraft against which it is being raised is set to the aircraft on the turn or task. On creating the fault, the failed system against which the fault is recorded and a description of the fault must be entered.
Faults raised from the Dashboard or
Aircraft Turn Details are
considered as found during a flight. For faults raised from the dashboard the
flight during which the fault was found can be selected from a list of
flights while those raised from aircraft turn details are created
for the flight on the aircraft turn. The phase of flight can be
selected for faults found during the flight.
