HOW TO REPLACE PARTS

1. Replacing or Overhauling Parts in Camotool

While there aren't step-by-step user instructions available publicly, the general workflow in Camotool likely follows this structure:

Locate the Aircraft and Component:

Access the specific aircraft (callsign) and identify the serialized component or generic part that needs replacing.

Initiate a Work Order (WOP):

Create a Work Order Package (WOP) associated with that aircraft.

Enter details like installed materials, labor hours, and comments on the action performed

Record the Replacement/Overhaul:

Log the removal of the existing part and add the new part (whether serialized or generic), possibly linking to a purchase order if it's a new component via the stock/warehouse module.

Enter any associated data such as Form‑1 digital form, date of installation, and serial number.

Update Maintenance Rules / TBOs:

If the part being replaced is governed by a rule (e.g., a rotable part with a Time Between Overhaul or a service directive), then the system should:

Reset or update the TBO counters (flight hours, cycles, or dates).

Trigger future maintenance tasks based on the updated timeline.

Reflect any required inspect-and-overhaul directives.

Close the WOP and Generate Documentation:

Finalize the work order, typically generating associated documents like updated MP‑L (Maintenance Program – List), invoices, or delivery notes as needed
