Defer Fault
Explanation
You can defer a fault using deferral information provided by Maintenance
Operations Control (MOC) on phoning in for a deferral and then proceeding to
sign for the deferral. You can defer a fault on the
Task Details or My Work
pages.
To defer a fault click Defer Fault and then click Record Deferral
Details. When you defer a fault you must record the deferral authorization
number, provided by MOC, select a deferral reason and enter the deferral action
taken. You can also record a deferral note and proceed to sign off.
Depending on the Signature Service User Permissions for your user, you can
sign off using a digital signature or via an alternative sign-off process. You
can use an assigned YubiKey to sign off on the deferral creating an immutable digital signature.
To do so click
Sign, proceed with the sign off process, and click Finish. The
digital signature is stored against the task or fault and can be viewed at any
time.
Alternatively, if you are signing off without Yubikey authentication, simply click
Finish to complete the task.
Prerequisites
- The fault status must be Open.
- Deferral reasons must be set up in Aviation
Maintenance/Basic Data/Fault.
- If you are using digital signature to sign off on the deferral, the application user should be registered with a valid
public certificate to use IFS signature service in Solution
Manager/Signature Service.
- If you are not using a digital signature to sign off, the E-Sign option
must have
been disabled from the Signature Service User Permissions
page.
System Effects
- The fault status changes to Deferred and the fault
is displayed with the list of deferred faults for the
aircraft turn.
- The deferral information on the fault is updated and an action is recorded
against the fault with the deferral action provided by you.
- The task is unassigned from the work package and no longer displayed
as a work task.
- If the sign-off was handled using a digital signature, the signed
document can be viewed on the Digital Signatures
tab in the Attachments pane at the bottom of the
Task Details and Fault Details pages.
