Change Maintenance Group
Explanation
This activity is used to change the maintenance group for a serial. When
the conditions that affect the use of a serial are altered, you may need to
change the maintenance group connected to the serial. For example, assume your
aircraft has been flying long distance for a certain period of time. However,
due to the purchase of new aircraft for your fleet, this aircraft is now planned
to fly short distance only. As a result, this aircraft will perform more frequent
landings and would ideally find useful a maintenance group that is more focused
on landing gear. Furthermore, performing a modification on a serial could also
result in the necessity for a different maintenance.
- Use Manage Serial Structure page to change
the maintenance group for a serial that is Planned For Operation
or for a serial that is either In Operation or Out Of Operation
without a connected maintenance program.
- If the maintenance group is to be changed as a result of a modification
been complied with, select the maintenance group displayed in the New
Maint Group field in the Assign Parts tab in Define
Modification page.
- For all other occurrences (e.g., for a serial that is In Operation
and has a connected maintenance program), you need to use the Change
Maintenance Program On Serial assistant to change the current maintenance
group. For more information, refer to the activity
Change Maintenance Program and/or Maintenance Group for Structure.
Prerequisites
- A serial must be defined.
- Maintenance groups need to be defined for the serial.
System Effects
- The new maintenance group is assigned to the serial and will be effective
the next time a due-calculation is performed for an interval based maintenance
event.
- The due calculation for interval maintenance will run automatically
for the serial to calculate due dates and values.
