5.2
DATA SEARCH
The Data search module of airnavX allows the users to search within the content of
the available technical data using inbuilt filters (working context) and key words.
5.2.1
DATA SEARCH WORKING CONTEXT
As explained in chapter 5.1.1 the working context filters differ from one section
to another. In the data search module the filters are listed as follow:
●
Customization
●
Aircraft types (multiple selection is possible)
●
Tail Number - MSN – FSN (multiple selection is NOW possible)
●
Doc types (multiple selection is possible)
●
ATA
●
FIN
●
Part Number (a suggestion is given when a partial reference is given)
●
Zone
●
3D zoning (A350)
37
Figure 42 - Data Search working context
The following filters are interrelated on an up/down basis: Customisation 🡪
Aircraft type 🡪 MSN 🡪 Doctypes hence:
●
Selecting a customization will automatically refine the Aircraft type list
and/or the MSN list.
●
Selecting an Aircraft type will automatically refine the MSN list but not
the customization one (however upon selecting a wrong customization
the A/C type and the MSN filters will be automatically removed).
●
Selecting an Aircraft type will automatically refine the Doctypes list
(selecting A350 will remove the AMM, TSM, IPC … from the Doctype
list)
On a down/up basis:
●
5.2.2
Selecting a given MSN will automatically apply the corresponding
Aircraft type filter but not the customization.
DATA SEARCH FUNCTION
The airnavX Data Search function has been conceived to display the expected
result within the first five hits of the list. It will allow the user to search within the
content of the available technical data using some predefined rules, the first one
being the working context (already detailed in the above chapter):
●
By default the search will look for exact words(s) including common
extensions (such as …tion, …ed, …al…).
⮚ Ex: Install 🡺 Install, Installation, Installed.
●
The text entered in the search box is not case sensitive.
⮚ Ex: Fuel 🡺 Fuel, FUEL, fuel…
●
No automatic correction on mistyping
38
⮚ The search function also offers advanced wildcards features
such as:
●
The * will replace any placeholder (it is however impossible to use it in
the middle of a term or at the beginning):
⮚ Ex: GPA110* 🡺 GPA1102-00, GPA1103-00, GPA1104-00…
●
The “” will return the exact phrase between double quotes:
⮚ Ex: “Fuel leak” 🡺 only results having the exact phrase between

DATA SEARCH RESULTS
As explained above the search engine’s aim is to provide relevant results within
the five first search hits. It combines two scoring methods to rank the search
results:
1. TF/IDF: This score represents the ratio of the term frequency (TF) in the
document and the term relevancy (IDF).
2. Manual scoring: The search engine looks for the term(s) in various
places within the technical data documentation, these places have been
given a different scoring.
Note: Searching for a task/publication with its incomplete reference will not
necessarily return the task/publication itself but may return other items first
because the search criteria is mentioned/called more time in these items. The
search results are displayed as follow:
Figure 44 - Search result example
5.2.4
DATA SEARCH REFINE FUNCTION
After launching a data search it is possible to refine the search results list using
the Data Search Refine function:
Figure 45 - Data Search Refine
40
Figure 46 - Data Search Refine
This refine function will provide a quick overview of the number of hits for the
given key words per:
●
Customization (DocSet)
●
Aircraft type
●
Doctypes
●
ATA chapter (all the way down to the 6th digit)
Then, the user can apply new filter by selecting them and clicking on the
button. A new search will be launched taking into account the new
parameters.
5.2.5
SEARCH/FILTER BY FIN REFERENCE
In airnavX data search it is also possible to search directly for FIN. This search
can be performed either on the text (content of a given manual) or within the
illustrations (Schematic/Wiring).
41
Figure 47 - FIN search/filter (text)
Figure 48 - FIN search/filter (Schematics/Wiring)
Note: There’s a limitation with the FIN search, it does not search within the
manuals illustrations (such as AMM, IPC…) only in the Schematic/Wiring at the
moment.
DATA SEARCH BEST PRACTICE
1. Filtering the search using airnavX working context can reduce
significantly the number of search results:
42
Figure 49 - Filtering the search using airnavX working context
2. Using connectors and wildcards will also help refine the search

expected result within the first five hits of the list. It will allow the user to
search within the content of the available technical data using some
predefined rules, the first one being the working context (already
detailed in the above chapter):
70
•
By default the search will look for exact words(s) including
common extensions (such as …tion, …ed, …al…).
​
•
​
The text entered in the search box is not key sensitive.
​
•
Ex: Install 🡺 Install, Installation, Installed.
Ex: Fuel 🡺 Fuel, FUEL, fuel…
No automatic correction on mistyping
The search function also offers advanced wildcards features
such as:
•
The * will replace any placeholder (it is however impossible to
use it in the middle of a term or at the beginning):
​
•
Ex: GPA110* 🡺 GPA1102-00, GPA1103-00, GPA1104-00…
The “” will return the exact phrase between double quotes:
​Ex: “Fuel leak” 🡺 only results having the exact phrase
between double quotes.
•
Multiple word search will, by default apply an implicit “AND” or
“+” connecter between each words:
​Ex: Fuel leak 🡺 only results with both Fuel AND leak will be
displayed.
•
The “-“ operator can be used right next to a term (no space)
to exclude it from the search results:
​Ex: Landing -light 🡺 only the result with landing minus the one with
light
•
The logical connecter OR cannot be used as such but with
the “|” character in order to display results with either one of the words:
​Ex: Fuel | leak 🡺 results with one of the words.
•
The parenthesis operator can be used to indicate the
precedence of a word
​
Ex: landing + (gear | light) 🡺 signify precedence for gear | light
NOTE 1: The ? (question mark) for 1 missing character cannot be used

DIAGRAM GENERATION
GenEWIS offers different types of access for a diagram generation:
●
Aircraft Breakdown:
An electrical system can be generated at 2, 4 or 6 ATA digits.
●
FIN:
An Airbus or Supplier FIN, equipment or Standard Item (SI) can be
generated. Several types of generation “by FIN” are available (see
below for further information).
Note: In the “List of FIN”, the supplier FIN or NHA (Next Higher Assembly) is
represented in the bracket
Figure 101 - FIN
74
●
Wire:
One or several Airbus and/or supplier wires can be generated.
Note: In the “List of Wire”, the supplier wire is represented with the
NHA of the wire in brackets. e.g: wire 0001 from NHA: 1CH
Figure 102 - Wire
●
Bundle/Panel/NHA:
A “Bundle/Panel/NHA” can be fully or partially generated (selection of
one or several routes).
●
Service Bulletins (SB):
If one or more scheduled SB(s) is/are applicable for the selected MSN,
the content of an SB can be generated (wire(s) and equipment)
5.7.3
DISPLAY MODE
GenEWIS can display any electrical diagram. The display can be done in two modes:
1. “Normal” mode:
GenEWIS displays the “normative” symbols corresponding to FINs and
wires.
Figure 103 - Electrical diagram normal display
75
2. “Simplified” mode:
GenEWIS displays some equipment as a “black box” with a normative
picture inside.
Some specific symbols (e.g: Relay) can be represented in a “Simplified
view”. These symbols will be represented as a “black box” with an
associated picture inside.
It allows to decorrelate the “pin” position of each symbol and as a
consequence, to decrease the crossing wires for huge or complex wiring
diagrams. This mode can be used as support for troubleshooting.
Figure 104 - Electrical diagram simplified display
5.7.3.1 CONTEXTUAL BUTTONS
Find below the definition of some contextual buttons. Depending on the access
selected, the same button (e.g: “Generate” button) may have different menus.
Complementary explanations are given in the different chapters below.

- “Layout” button 🡺 Adapt the diagram display to the user need.
From the diagram generated, click on the “Layout” button” to reorganise the
diagram
Figure 124
Figure 125
With the “Layout” button, the user can display the wiring in a “synthetic”
way.
It means that each FIN is represented by a “Black box” (with its FIN number
inside) and between two FINs, the group of wires is represented by a line.
Each line between 2 or n FINs provides the overall network in the current
wiring context (selected filters and MSN).
86
This function provides the user with some capabilities, such as the way to
change the location of 1 or n FIN(s) in the generated wiring, or to generate a
part of this wiring by selecting 2 or n FINs.
Each new layout will be saved during each new generation, this layout is
then visible for all the other users willing to display the same wiring.
From this new mode, the user can change the layout of the previous
diagram generated by a new one by moving one or several objects (ie. FIN
2363VC760 from the top to the left side) with the mouse and then by clicking
on the “Generate” button.
Figure 126
Figure 127
From the “Layout” mode, the user can generate a new diagram by selecting
at least two electrical objects (“CTRL+left click” or “drag and drop”) and then
clicking on the “Generate” button. The selection can be done using the
mouse or the “magnifier” button.
Note: These objects are connected.
87

From any diagram generated, the user can select any electrical object (wire
or FIN), for a new generation.
The only exception is for a diagram generated with the access”List of
Service Bulletins” or with data coming from an SB.

5.7.5 OVERVIEW WITH SB
ACCESS FROM “LIST OF SERVICE BULLETINS”
From the “Home Page” of GenEWIS, the content of a scheduled SB can be
generated using the access ”List of Service Bulletins”.
In this case, only electrical objects added or modified will be generated.
All the electrical objects impacted by the SB are represented in the diagram
in “blue”.
Figure 130
From an SB generation, only the “Layout” button is available. When the
user selects any electrical object, the user can also use the “airnavX”
button.
89
5.7.6 ACCESS FROM DIAGRAM GENERATED
When a diagram is impacted by an SB, the “Service Bulletin” button appears in the
upper banner.
Figure 131
By clicking on the “Service Bulletins” button, a “Service Bulletins” table appears
with the list of all the scheduled SBs impacting the diagram generated.
The user has to select one SB from this list to generate the current diagram with the
impact of the SB (in blue in the diagram generated).
