Maintenance of aircraft engines involves both on-wing line maintenance to keep engines airworthy, as well as overhaul maintenance when engines are removed from aircraft. The maximum time an engine can remain on a wing before overhaul is called the time between overhaul (TBO) and depends on the engine's complexity and usage. Scheduled maintenance involves replacing life-limited parts and components at prescribed intervals, while unscheduled maintenance addresses issues like damage from foreign object ingestion. Condition monitoring techniques like vibration analysis help detect developing faults to prevent failures and extend TBO.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
