Report Operation
Explanation
This activity is used to register the actual usage of serials, recorded either
as part of ground maintenance tests or post maintenance check flights. Often
these testing activities have specific data recording requirements, such as,
temperature at different operating ranges, flight control travel and fuel consumption.
These requirements need to be recorded and made available to engineering personnel,
as required. The specific aspects of each ground maintenance test activity or
post maintenance test flight are often recorded on company specific test sheets
and provided to operational and engineering personnel alike as source information
for analysis and confirmation that a part can still meet its certification requirements.
Loggings are based on a start and finish date and the defined operational
parameters for the part. Operational loggings can be reported for events that
have occurred provided that the operational loggings are sequential. When the
test results are recorded on company specific data sheets, these can be attached
to the operational log of the part by using the Attachments panel. For
more information on operational loggings, refer to the activity Report
Operational Loggings.
Prerequisites
- The structure must be completed at the start of the logging, i.e., the
minimum configuration must be in place for the date entered in the Last
From Date field.
- There cannot exist loggings with a start or finish date later than the
date entered in the Last From Date field.
- All operational parameters that are to be logged or calculated during
logging must have been defined.
- The maximum value that is allowed for a logging must have been registered.
- For LLPs (life limited parts) to get the correct information, all life
limits and stress ratings must have been defined and set at the given time
of the logging.
- The logging can be connected to an operational event when reporting
the logging. This connection applies only to serials for which the operational
event is registered.
- If operational loggings are to be reported on a flight, the belonging
flight must be in the Open status.
System Effects
- The registered values are saved on the serial and on all serials in
its structure at the time the data is entered. Measured operational parameters
are a result of the operational parameters indicated for the maintenance
group of the serial.
- The values registered during this activity will be used for the next
due calculation and can result in the creation of a new maintenance event.
- For operational loggings that are reported on a flight, the loggings
will be spread on the serial and its structure when closing the corresponding
flight log. If any operational parameters without measure data exists on
the flight, these parameter records will be deleted automatically from the
operational log.
