Resolving Squawks

There are four actions that can be taken on a squawk once entered into your maintenance data in MyFBO:

• Complete / Resolve
• Amend
• Defer
• Suppress

Completing Squawks

Completing squawks is accomplished by entering a maintenance ticket for the squawk.

1. Click the Manage Tab.
2. Click Maintenance.
3. Scroll down to the Maintenance Block / Completion section.
4. Locate Finish Maintenance. 
5. Select the aircraft, and click Go.
6. On the resulting maintenance ticket, enter all the necessary data and check the appropriate box for the squawk. Be sure to include any additional remarks that may be needed for a complete maintenance record. 
7. Click Update. This will clear the squawk, and the maintenance records will indicate you repaired the squawk on the ticket created. 

Amend, Defer, or Suppress Squawks

You can add to the text of a squawk, or amend it. 

You can defer a squawk, which places that squawk in a special status for Dispatch. Depending on the Qualification and Limitation Parameters for your operation, deferred squawks can be ignored in the dispatch maintenance check. 

You may suppress a squawk. Suppression is intended for those situations where a customer or member has entered information that is not airworthiness related. A suppressed squawk is treated as though it were completed but with no action taken. 

To perform any of the above actions:

1. Click the Manage Tab.
2. Click Maintenance.
3. Under the Review Maintenance Required section, locate Maintenance Status.
4. From the drop down menu select an individual aircraft (or all aircraft). Click Go.
5. On the resulting Aircraft Maintenance Status report, locate the Unresolved Squawks section. 
6. Look for the small (amend) link at the end of the squawk description.

7. Clicking the (amend) link will open the screen shown below. Notice the options to amend by including additional text, or to suppress or defer. Once the needed changes have been made, click Update.

   Note: Once entered, squawks can not be deleted. All squawks remain in your permanent maintenance records.
