Defining check loops

You can create check loops to break down the requirements of an aircraft check into a sequence of related checks. In an OMP, you can enable check loops to maintain a sequence and manage the frequency of maintenance tasks for the aircraft to meet regulatory maintenance requirements.

About this task

Add new daily checks or weekly checks that are not essential by aviation authorities to an active OMP record without revising the OMP record.

Procedure

  1. In the Master Task Card application, create a master task card and specify that the record is a check.
  2. In the OMP application, create or review an OMP that is in a draft or pending status.
  3. Associate the master task card records that are checks with the OMP record.
  4. On the Checks tab, define the higher and lower checks.
  5. On the Check Loops tab, specify the name and description of the check loop.
  6. Specify the first check and the next checks in the check loop sequence.
  7. Specify whether the check loop is an adjustment to update associated records with revisions.
  8. Specify flight cycles, flight hours, and the calendar interval and units at which the next check in the sequence occurs.
  9. Specify the meter type of the aging interval that occurs between the checks.
  10. Save the OMP record.
