Creating fleet definitions

A fleet definition logically groups related aircraft or equipment for the purposes of meter reading entry and preventive maintenance tasks. This grouping of aircraft or equipment can be shared by model, variation, or attribute values. For example, you can create a fleet of aircraft engines to enable rapid entry of meter reading values in the Fleet Usage Load application.

Before you begin

Before you create a fleet definition, you must set the aircraft or equipment attributes in the Models application and Aircraft and Equipment Attributes Setup application.

Procedure

  1. In the Fleet Management application, on the toolbar, click the New Fleet Management icon.
  2. Specify a unique identifier for the fleet.
  3. Specify any other required information for the fleet.
  4. Specify values for model and variation.
  5. Optional: To provide specific attributes for an aircraft or equipment fleet, in the Fleet Definition Attributes table, add as many rows as required and select the values for the fields.
  6. Optional: If you want to specify meters for the fleet, in the Fleet Utilization table, add as many rows as required and select the values for the fields. Each combination of utilization value and utilization by period must be unique.
  7. Save the record.
