There is no function to do this task.

PRODUCT TYPE

Product types , A-aircraft, E-engine, P-propeller, Q-equipment, F-float, S-ski. Can only be assigned to a mfg/model during an ADD. It is unchangeable after that.

20 character limit.

Defaults :

1 - A default model called “FLOAT” exists for every FLOAT manufacturer

2 - A default model called “SKI” exists for every SKI manufacturer

3 - A default model called “PROPELLER” exists for every PROPELLER manufacturer

4 - When the Product Type is Q , the model is always Equipment and there is always 1 equipment record for every manufacturer on y60

5 - All Owner Maintenance (flight authority C ) have models that are suffixed with “X” ( This is a business rule from the 1990’s)

Hidden function

A model Existing models can be altered after being established.

Changing 7AB, to 7ABCD, will alter every occurrence of value-1 to value-2 throughout ALL CAWIS subsystems. This is a highly useful tool, in that when bad models are identified, they can either 1) be consolidated with another existing model (ie: value-1 is deleted and all instances of it are altered to value-2) -or- simply be altered to their desired format

AIRCRAFT CATEGORY

Only appears for Product-type = A models.

Allocated during an ADD, changeable during a modify. However, there are edit rules on 5008 modify page which will be impacted by a radical category change. ie) changing an AEROPLANE to a GLIDER, will hide any engine/propeller models on any 5008 page associated to this Aircraft mfg/model

1-AEROPLANE
2-HELICOPTER - cannot have propellers
3-GLIDER - cannot have engines/propellers
4-GYROPLANE
