Define a Convenience Task
Explanation
This activity is used to define convenience tasks. A convenience task is
identified by its nature to occur unpredictably but execute through a fixed
setup. Examples of such events are bird-strike inspection, heavy
landing inspection, and cabin version changes.
To define a convenience task you must register a valid
maintenance code for the combination of maintenance program and maintenance
group. When the maintenance code is connected to a task card, it is possible
to define any work, resources, and material required to complete the
convenience task.
Note: It is not possible to define convenience
tasks using maintenance codes already defined in the Maintenance
Plan/Intervals tab. In the same way, it will not be possible to define
maintenance intervals by using the maintenance codes already defined for
convenience tasks.
Prerequisites
- A maintenance program in the Preliminary
status must exist.
- Valid maintenance codes must be defined.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, the convenience task is defined and you can
specify the actions that need to be performed to resolve the event.

field of the corresponding event record on the maintenance order.
- In the Post Maint Check ID field and the Post Maint Check
Revision field, enter the identifier and revision of the post
maintenance check that is to be carried out after the convenience task has
