Release to Service (Hangar)
Explanation
Releasing an aircraft into service certifies airworthiness. This certification is done when you are completing
the last in-work work package for the aircraft and signing the last sign-off requirement.
When completing the work package, you can record the aircraft’s capabilities and ETOPS readiness.
- Current capability specifies the aircraft’s certified ability to utilize approach and landing support
systems in accordance with its configured capabilities.
- Extended-range Twin-engine Operational Performance Standards (ETOPS) readiness indicates whether the aircraft
meets the operational and configuration requirements necessary to conduct ETOPS-approved routes.
Prerequisites
- The status of the work package must be In Work.
- If you are releasing the aircraft through the mobile app, your device must be online.
- All tasks for the aircraft must be completed.
- All faults for the aircraft must be closed or deferred.
- You must possess the skills to sign off on the work package.
- You must not have any errors when you preview the release.
- To synchronize the work package completion in CAMO, you must set the skills of all sign-off requirements of
the work package to your user in CAMO.
- If you use a digital signature to sign off the release to service, the application user must be registered
with a valid public certificate to use the IFS Signature Service in Solution Manager.
- To override a hard stop caused by missing mandatory components, open panels, outstanding tools, overdue
tasks, near-due tasks, or overdue faults, an administrator must grant you the required permissions.

System Effects
- The Sign Status, Signed By, and the Signed Date of the
skill are updated on the Sign-Off Skills tab.
- The status of the work package changes to Completed or Closed.
Info: Once you complete a work package, if its tasks do not have any remaining sales or return
lines, they move from the Completed status to the Closed status automatically
so that the work package also moves to the Closed status automatically.
- Release details are updated on the Hangar Maintenance Work Package Execution, and
Aircraft Work Package pages.
- Current capability and ETOPS readiness are updated on the Aircraft page.
- The status of a REPL task published from CAMO changes to EDIT in CAMO, and the work package
is closed.
- A system administrator can monitor the status of the communication with CAMO to complete the work package in
CAMO via the sent events on the Communication Log page in IFS Cloud Web and the incomplete work
package or workscope item alerts in CAMO, and react to errors, if any.
- If the sign-off was handled using digital signature flow, the signed document can be viewed from the
Hangar Maintenance Work Package Execution page.
