Aircraft Maintenance - Independent Engine Times

<div class="h10"> </div>

Setup:
<ul>
	<li>Under the Airframe record, create an Engine record for each engine.</li>
	<li>Under each engine, create a Total Time record for the engine's time as
		of your "starting" date.</li>
	<li>From the
		<a class="lnk1" href="/console/ZConsole.jsp?zconsm=MAINTVIEW">Aircraft Logbook</a>
		screen, create an Operation record for the same date and total time as your
		Total Time record for Engine #1 above.</li>
</ul>

Operation:
<ul>
	<li>Engine #1 is primary. On the Flight Entry and Maintenance Entry screens,
		always enter the times/cycles for Engine #1. The system assumes that
		all engines are cycled/timed together.</li>
	<li>On the <a class="lnk1" href="/console/ZConsole.jsp?zconsm=ACSTAT">Aircraft Status</a>
		screen, Engine #1 will show your latest times as entered. (This is the
		"Starting Time" + "Time Since Start.) Engine #2 and all other engines will
		show Engine #1's times as "Primary", and the actual engine times under
		Total Usage.</li>
	<li>Whenever the engine times/cycles diverge because engines are operated
		independently, simply update the appropriate Total Time record for
		Engine #2 (or Engine #3, etc).</li>
	
</ul>
