Review Pending Reference Approvals
Explanation
Use this activity to review pending deferral and repair reference authorization requests so they are not missed
when you plan the next maintenance window. This is a general process in 7.46.1.1 Review all Upcoming
Maintenance Requirements. It is not in the main sequence of open-task, open-fault, and opportunistic-task
review. See Line Maintenance Planning.
When a technician selects a deferral or repair reference that requires maintenance operations control (MOC)
authorization, the request appears on the Pending Reference Approvals page. Review the request,
the related open and deferred faults, and upcoming flights before you decide how the fault affects the next work
package.
This activity is a review. It does not approve or reject the request. To approve or reject a deferral or repair
reference request, see Approve or Reject a
Fault Deferral Request and Accept or
Reject the Request to Add the Repair Reference.
Prerequisites
