How to create an aircraft

Before you start

Before creating an aircraft, make sure you have:

• Aircraft registration (e.g. tail number)

• Aircraft model

• Basic aircraft details (manufacturer, type, etc.)

This ensures your maintenance setup is accurate from the start.

Create a new aircraft

Follow these steps to create an aircraft:

1. Go to Maintenance Planning → Aircraft
2. Click “New Aircraft”
3. Enter the aircraft details
4. Select the correct aircraft model
5. Click Save

Required information

When creating an aircraft, you typically need to provide:

• Registration – The unique identifier for the aircraft

• Aircraft model – Defines structure, components, and maintenance setup

• Manufacturer / type – Basic aircraft information

Make sure this matches official documentation.

Why the aircraft model matters

The aircraft model defines how maintenance is structured.

It can include:

• Standard maintenance schedules

• Component structure

• Shared configurations across similar aircraft

Selecting the correct model helps ensure consistency and compliance.

What happens next

Once the aircraft is created, you can:

• Assign maintenance schedules

• Create work orders

• Track components and defects

• Monitor aircraft status

This allows you to manage maintenance activities for the aircraft.
