Aircraft Configuration

The aircraft module is used to record all details of the aircraft which are
operated/leased/maintained. The module allows entry of information such as
manufacturer and model/variant details, aircraft date of manufacture and
provides the user with a method of viewing the current aircraft flight times and
slings/hoists (if applicable). The user can also specify if special equipment
such as an APU, on-board engine registration device or freon air conditioning
is installed.

The creation of an aircraft is facilitated by setting up templates. Templates are
created showing the aircraft, assemblies (including sub-assemblies and subsub-
assemblies), components and associated maintenance requirements.
Once the template has been defined and a new aircraft has been registered in
the Aircraft module, the template items (i.e. components, assemblies,
maintenance requirements, etc) are copied from the template set-up screen to
the new aircraft set-up screen. Through the Component and Log-Book
modules, the aircraft set-up can be completed by specifying component
details and automatically updating component life information. This feature
greatly reduces the time required to complete the set-up of a new aircraft in
SaSiMS.
