Describing after Flight Debriefing and Malfunction Documentation

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to explain the debriefing procedure after flight

Postflight Inspection

The image is a workflow diagram showing the steps involved in creating a flight. It includes sections for defining master data, creating a flight overview, assigning aircraft, checking changes, and debriefing, with various inputs and outputs between these steps.

When the flight is completed, debriefing activities happen to record consumptions, actual measurements, and malfunctions.

The image shows a workflow diagram for the debriefing process. It includes sections for measurement documents, redelivery ammunition, and post-flight checks. The measurement documents include flight hours, cycles, fuel, and shot ammunition. The redelivery ammunition section mentions the order operation in flight order. The post-flight checks section includes a decision point for malfunction, which leads to maintenance notification and changes in technical and operational status.

As part of the debriefing, SAP is used to record measurement documents for the participating weapon system and its relevant components: Flight Hours, Cycles, Fuel consumption, and ammunition usage can be recorded as measurement documents. Redelivery of ammunition can be triggered from the order and operator complaints / concerns can be recorded as Maintenance Notifications, later processed by Technical Supervisor to find root cause and record malfunctions and correction activities.

Flight Orders Confirmation

The image shows a user interface for editing aircraft data in the SAP system. The text overlay explains that the objective is to freeze the complete information in the system at the time the incident happened, and all relevant data for the vehicle must be extracted.

If an aircraft accident occurs, the incident must be documented with all the relevant aircraft data.

The image shows a Vehicle Incident Report with three main components: General data of the vehicle, Structure, and Maintenance Activities. The result is a complete book with all relevant information concerning the vehicle.

The system creates a PDF file containing all the relevant aircraft data, such as equipment data, flights, orders, and notifications. You define the precise scope in the Business Add-In (BAdI) /ISDFPS/LM_ACCIDENT.

Conduct Flight Operations

Protagonists

The Flight Planner is scheduling the flights and assigning the aircrafts to it. They KPI’s are the assignment of appropriate aircraft in time to the required / requested flights. They have to check against remaining flight hours for the aircraft. The Technical Officer is responsible for the maintenance of all Equipment of the Unit, including the aircrafts. They can be measured by unplanned downtime and readiness status of the assigned aircrafts. The Maintenance Crew is responsible for the technical Work like preflight inspection, setting up configuration, postflight inspection and all other maintenance activities. They can be measured against the time needed to successfully complete the assigned work at the requisite quality level.

Business Scenario

A new flight must be prepared, executed, and revised. The first step for you as a Flight Planner is to create a new mission. Based on the new mission, you can create a new flight order and assign a Eurofighter to execute this flight. Change the Flight Status to perform the flight systemically. After the flight, flight hours must be reported using a measuring document.

You will learn how to do the following:

Create a Mission
Use the Status Board
Create and Change a Flight
Create a Measuring Document
