In this article you will learn how to acknowledge custody of a new component via Aerobridge Management Server. Once custody is acknowledged and installed / replaced on the drone, the component must be associated to an assembly on the Aerobridge. To perform these actions, you will need a account in Aerobridge, to get a account for yourself, please join us during our office hours.

Prerequisites

An event must be recorded prior to starting this article, once a event is reported against a component, depending on the status the component is removed from the assembly automatically. To see how to report an event and associate a component with that Event Report, please see the How to report an event? article.

The background

Once an event has been reported, and the associated component isset as damaged, the component assembly is marked as parts need review. Normally staff within your company will inspect the impacted component and based on the inspection, they can order a new part or fix the damaged one. In this case we assume the impacted component is damaged beyond repairs and that a new part is ordered and replaced.
