Electronic Work Cards (E-cards)

For those maintainers who choose to produce a paper work card procedure, Sikorsky Aerospace Services has developed an electronic work card procedure called E-cards. Using current E-cards, an inspection or maintenance activity contained within the web HELOTRAC RL^® Maintenance Management System and IETM applications is streamlined by viewing or printing all applicable information in a single or selected request. The E-card enables a mechanic to work on an aircraft with all the applicable OEM-approved information combined in one package without carrying multiple manuals. E-cards can reduce man hours because they are a collective set of procedures from various chapters and manuals, thus reducing lookup and copy time.

The E-card information includes:

• report header that provides the current publication number and revision
• pre-populated signoff form
• scheduled maintenance requirements from the Airworthiness manual
• maintenance manual task procedure text
• related (referenced) information
