To enter fault information on the first Record Fault Report page, type or select the
appropriate values in all the fields. These fields include:
• FAULT DESCRIPTION – contains the description in the Fault Reporting
Manual that automatically populates from the ELB database
• COMMENTS – enables details to be entered regarding the fault
Note: If the FAULT NOT FOUND soft key was selected to navigate to this page,
the FAULT DESCRIPTION field is blank and the COMMENTS field must
be completed.
• FLIGHT PHASE – flight phase when the fault was observed
• RESULTING EVENT (IF ANY) – reason for the fault defined by ATA
• INTERMITTENT – indicates that the fault starts and stops periodically
• PAPER LOG SERIAL NO. – document number of the paper technical log
to associate with the electronic version. This field is only used during trial
periods or failure scenario situations where paper versions are required
Note: Selecting FAULT LOCATOR returns to the first FAULT LOCATOR page.
After completing the selections select the PGDN bezel key to view the fault report
and sign it if appropriate as described in the section “Signing the Fault Report” in
this chapter. Signing the fault report creates an official logbook entry that is sent
to the ground database so that the maintenance crew can take action.
If the fault report is not complete, select SAVE AS DRAFT to save it in draft
format. This action saves the fault record onboard, but the system does not create
an official logbook entry and the fault report is not sent to the ground database.
The saved fault report can be retrieved later by selecting DRAFT ITEMS from the
Logbook Home page.
Signing the Fault Report
Signing the Fault Report form officially records the fault in the logbook, and sends
the fault report to the ground system database. Sign the fault report by selecting
SIGN on page 2/2 of the Record Fault Report page. Enter or select the appropriate
values in the NAME, PERSONNEL ID, and PASSWORD fields. Select
CONFIRM to sign the report.
Note: All fields are required in order to CONFIRM and sign the report.
