Step-by-Step: Replace or Overhaul Parts in CAMOTOOL

1. Access the Work Order (WO)

Navigate to: Work Orders > Open Work Orders.

Select a Package Work Order (PWO). These are grouped tasks tied to inspections or scheduled maintenance like:

AMP REVIEW – Airworthiness Maintenance Program review.

100H ENG + PROP INSP – Every 100 flight hours, inspect engine and propeller.

ARC/Annual – Annual Review of Airworthiness.


2. Review Tasks Related to Part Replacement or Overhaul

Each PWO will contain individual tasks—some require part replacements due to life limits (e.g., filters, seals), others require inspections that might trigger a replacement or overhaul (e.g., worn brake discs, magnetos).

Look for task cards like:

“Replace oil filter – 50H Interval”

“Overhaul landing gear – 1,000H or 6 years”

“Remove & inspect propeller – 100H interval”


3. Navigate to the ‘Parts’ Module

Go to: Parts > Inventory or Installed Parts.

Search for the part by:

Part Number

Serial Number

Aircraft Registration (Call Sign) – from your screenshot: e.g., F-HFEC, F-HFED.

If the part is installed and needs removal:

Use the “Remove” option and link it to the active WO task.


4. Replace or Overhaul the Part

Replacement:

Locate the new part in inventory.

Use the “Install” option in the WO.

Record the installation date, aircraft hours/cycles, and attach the EASA Form 1 or FAA 8130-3 form (traceability document).


Overhaul:

If a part is being overhauled:

Remove it using the WO.

Send to a certified MRO (Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul facility).

Once returned with overhaul certs, mark it as "overhauled" and re-install or move it back to inventory.

Attach overhaul documentation.


5. Attach Documentation

Go to: Documents module or link directly in the WO.

Upload:

Installation/Removal reports.

Overhaul reports or release certificates.

Task cards with technician sign-offs.

Ensure traceability is complete for auditors and safety reviews.


6. Close Work Order and Review

A supervisor or CAMO engineer must review and approve the WO.

Check off the “Reviewed” checkbox (as shown in your image).

This step ensures everything has been signed off by a licensed certifying staff.

Only after this step can the WO be marked “Completed” or used for billing.
