Escalation Communication for Engineering

published HW: EV2HW: EV3

Service Engineering relies on Design Engineering input from escalations to return assets safely and efficiently.

The escalation SLAs are the time to receive Actionable Recommendations. The following is a non-comprehensive list of actionable recommendations:

  • Return [asset] to service, no action needed
  • Power cycle the [asset]
  • Perform maintenance outlined in maintenance manual (links below) — could mean a part replacement or outlined inspection
  • Perform ad-hoc maintenance — specific parts, actions, or specifics of inspection
  • Disable DAR (not performed directly by Service Engineering, but we coordinate this action)
  • Perform a field inspection of the zipping point
  • Perform a unique action/maintenance not covered in approved documentation. In response to a TQ, a unique situation may call for a unique solution. If you are recommending action outside of UMM guidance or any documentation, ALL possible specifics, details, and risks are needed.

Use @p2-service-eng-on-call to communicate with Service Engineering. If you tag an individual, they may be off-shift and we lose visibility.

After giving actionable recommendations, close the incident! This is the quickest way for Service Engineering to pick it back up.

Keep in mind — Speaking to the grounded asset is safe and speaking one step ahead is efficient

  • Example: [aircraft discrepancy] Re-survey Dock 48. The aircraft can be returned to service.
  • Example: [aircraft discrepancy] Power cycle the droid and run a lower/raise. If successful, return all assets to service. If it fails, troubleshoot the electrical contacts on the aircraft and droid.
  • Example: Power cycle the aircraft. If the alarm returns, replace the port forward hover propellor. If it does not return, return to service.
