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.
