STEP 13 INCOMPLETE MANUFACTURER/MODEL DATA

Sept 2021 : NOTE - all required code for this process is found at :

FAA DATA IMPORT PROCEDURE.TXT

simply copy and place into your preferred SQL tool

 


 

 

In order to later insert records into the M73_SDR_PRODUCT_MAKE_MODEL table, the minimum requirement is :

  PRODUCT_TYPE_CD  -    (A-AIRCRAFT, E-ENGINE, P-PROPELLER, Q-EQUIPMENT)

  MANUFACTURER_ID

  MODEL_ID

Unfortunately, the FAA frequently posts incomplete configuration data.

 

Examples :

 Records having a Manufacturer, but no model or

 Records having a model, but no manufacturer or

 Records having serial-number, but no manufacturer/model

 

Auditing of the SDR data directly on the FAA website, shows that the data is missing on their end as well, so it`s not a data transfer error. FAA SDR management has been informed of the issue.

In this step, we determine how many records have this problem. Its normally only less that 5 records per batch.

For airframe and engine data issues, the FAA registry will give us the needed info, if the SDR has a tail mark, or a serial number to work with.

   Aircraft Inquiry

 

Also, if a model is provided but NOT the manufacturer, we can easily determine the Manufacturer by looking up the model on the tables at

   CAWIS MAIN MENU - CODE TABLES - MAKE-MODEL - QUERY

 

  INSTANCES OF MODEL WITH NO MANUFACTURER

 

  EITHER DETERMINE THE MFG FROM THE FAA WEBSITE by tail mark/serial number lookup

  • OR –

BY LOOKING AT THE MODEL, then the CAWIS make model tables

  • OR -

  NULL OUT THE MODEL AND APPEND IT TO SDR_TEXT
