Components

The maintenance building blocks of an aircraft — engines, propellers and the like — each with its own maintenance checks.

What it is

Components are the parts that make up an aircraft and that maintenance checks are tied to — airframe, engine, propeller, parachute and similar parts. A component definition has its own maintenance checks; each check is made up of one or more parts based on flight hours, number of launches, a fixed date, or the number of days since the last maintenance.

Every definition has a scope that determines which aircraft it applies to: the whole fleet, a single category, a single type, or one specific aircraft. A component can track counters (operating hours, launches) or none — if its checks are purely calendar-based. The airframe is a system, fleet-wide component that tracks both hours and launches and is protected from being renamed or deleted.

Component checks generate airworthiness alerts on the Dashboard.

How to use it

  • Browse components — the list at /aircraft-components shows definitions grouped by scope (whole fleet, category, type, specific aircraft) and is searchable.
  • Component definition — a new definition is created at /aircraft-components/definitions/new — you enter a name, counters (operating hours / launches) and a scope.
  • Configure checks — a check is added to a component at /aircraft-components/checks/new (or via the “Add check” button on the component); it is made up of parts based on hours, launches, a date or a number of days, and can target selected aircraft types.
  • Link to the Dashboard — these checks generate maintenance alerts on the Dashboard.
  • Aircraft — the planes these components belong to.
  • Categories & Types — how the fleet is classified above the component level.
  • Dashboard — where component checks surface as airworthiness alerts.
