Viewing the Maintenance Release
The presence of a maintenance release indicates that the maintenance crew has
signed the logbook and approved the flight for departure. The maintenance release
displays any operational restrictions, active deferrals, faults that were closed,
servicing information, and all maintenance work that has been performed on the
airplane. Use the scroll bar as necessary to review all of the information.
Note: The maintenance release form has various sections. The first part includes
information such as details, restrictions, comments and a release date. The
next part allows the maintenance crew to document any deferred and
closed items associated with the release. Before a release can be signed, the
user is required to review the contents of the maintenance release.
Recording a Fault
The ELB application allows flight crews to document observed faults in the
logbook. The purpose of fault reporting is to find the appropriate fault description
and have it associated with the respective Fault Reporting Manual (FRM) fault
code. This helps with accurate and consistent reporting of faults.
The process for recording faults includes locating the fault and filling out the fault
report form. After the form is complete, signing the fault report creates an official
logbook entry in the database for maintenance personnel to review on the ground.
Note: The flight log must be active to enter faults. The flight log is normally
automatically activated, but can be manually activated from the Logbook
Home page by selecting FLIGHT LOG and then ACTIVATE.
There are two ways to locate the fault; using a graphical fault locator or a text
search engine.
Locating a Fault Using the Graphical Fault Locator
One method for locating an observed fault in the database is by using the graphical
fault locator. This feature uses a graphical fault finder tool that navigates through
pages with images showing sections of the airplane to narrow the search area of a
fault. Selecting an image brings up a list of the faults associated with the section
of the airplane being viewed. This allows selection of the actual fault and records
it in the logbook.
To use the graphical fault locator start on the Logbook Home page and select
NEW LOGBOOK ENTRY, and then FAULT REPORT. On the Fault Locator page
select LOCATION and then select the appropriate option from the drop-down list.
Alternately, on the Fault Locator page select the link to the appropriate region.
Note: Selecting FAULT NOT FOUND returns to the first Record Fault Report
page. Selecting VIEW FAULTS displays a list of faults associated with the
current location.
