Schedule Work Package (Hangar Maintenance)

Explanation

Use this activity to schedule a hangar (heavy) work package after it is created, or to reschedule it if the maintenance window, location, or repair vendor changes. Unlike a line work package, a hangar check is not tied to an aircraft turn or a flight schedule. Instead, it is scheduled to a hangar location that is capable of performing the check, or it is sent to an external maintenance provider.

You schedule from the Aircraft Work Package page using the Schedule Work Package command, which offers two options:

• Internal: schedule the check at one of your own hangar locations.
• External: send the check to a third-party repair vendor (MRO) and raise the associated repair order information.

Scheduling defines the time window and where the check will be carried out, which is a prerequisite for committing the workscope and publishing the work package to execution. For an overview of the work package lifecycle, see About Hangar Maintenance Work Packaging.

Prerequisites

• The work package has been created. See Create New Work Package.
• The work package status is Active, Committed, or Inspection Required.
• For an internal check, hangar maintenance locations and location types must be defined so that a capable location can be selected.
• For an external check, the work location, repair vendor, and the account to charge must be available.

Procedure

Open the work package on the Aircraft Work Package page and select Schedule Work Package.

Schedule internally (own hangar)

1. Select Internal to open the Schedule Work Package - Internal dialog.
2. Select the Service Type(s) and set Collection Required as needed.
3. Turn on Only Show Capable Locations to list only hangar locations that can handle the check, then select the Scheduled Location.
4. Set Scheduled Start and either Scheduled Duration (Hours) or Scheduled End. The end and duration are kept in step with each other automatically.
5. Enter a Description if required.
6. Select OK.

Schedule externally (third-party MRO)

1. Select External to open the Schedule Work Package - External dialog.
2. Select the Service Type(s) and set Collection Required.
3. Under Vendor Information, select the Work Location and the Repair Vendor, and enter the Vendor Work Package Number if available.
4. Under RO Information, set Scheduled Start and Scheduled End (or Scheduled Duration (Hours)), select the Charge to Account, and enter a Note to Repair Vendor if required.
5. Select OK.

To change the schedule, location, or vendor after it is set, run the same command again. See Reschedule Work Package.

System Effects

• The work package is scheduled for a specific time window and hangar location, or to an external repair vendor with the corresponding repair order information.
• Once the start, end, and location are set, the workscope can be committed and the work package published to execution. A hangar (heavy) work package must be in Committed status before it can be published. See Commit Work Package and Publish Work Package.
