Status Report Print Options

Select the letter to the left, either A or B (front/back page) and see how it prints. If none of the printers work try providing your own User Defined escape codes.

Data Dump is a print option that only contains the raw data in a non formatted view.

The status report gets its information from the following areas to complete the first page

MFG SN # - Manufacturers Serial Number

TAIL # - ACMASTER.DBF

BASE # - Initialization file

LOCATION # - Initialization file

USER - Status Report

MO - Status Report

YR - Status Report

From the above information, the only item in question that you must provide the program is the TAIL # accessible through the Engine logs [ALT-E]. Everything else will print from within the status report. That is, the data is contained within the individual status report files.

The PRINT OPTIONS window will always be in view. This is because it is required that the status report be printed on the front and back of a single piece of paper. By leaving the OPTIONS menu on screen you can turn the paper around and print on the back side. Of course, this might be more of a chore than it’s worth because of different printer models. The best type of printer to have is the single sheet feeder type, not the tractor feed. This is because you can load a piece of paper easily instead of having to undo the tractor system. The option is yours. You can always use the information on the screen to perform all calculations for you and then transfer that data to another pre-made status report by hand or print the Data Dump.

The back page gets it’s information from the following except for the heading information which gets it from the same place as the front page:

ENGINE # SERIAL NUMBER - Engine logs [ALT-E]

ENGINE CZI - Calculated from Engine logs

ENGINE MPI - Aircraft TLMC table

ENGINE TOTAL HOURS - Calculated from Engine logs

The HOURS/PERCENT columns are calculated from the status report and will be visible on every aircraft.
