Can I enter multiple entries with the same date, hours and landings?
Yes, however, this requires special handling; regardless of how much time taken to resolve each item, only the total accumulated time for aircraft out-of-service is measured. The combined downtime for all maintenance events on a particular day should not exceed the aircraft’s total time out of service for that day. FERMS measures operational availability, not total man-hours. For example, if two maintenance actions are accomplished concurrently in a six hour period and each takes four hours, two individual maintenance event can be added, each with 3 hours of downtime. Or if a particular maintenance event has higher priority than the other, and needs to be tracked closely, the actual time to resolve the item can be logged for the primary maintenance event, and the remaining balance of the overall downtime can be used for the second event.
