Once a contract is signed with a customer (order on a CSGTA), Boeing leverages an Electronic Access Focal (EAF) at the airline to identify all users at the airline. For those users, that Aviation ID is setup by the EAF for the users. Virtual Airplane will simply leverage that list of consolidated AvID info for potential “customization” to the user. For example, we will leverage the data for the MBF User Account Profile in the required MBF Header. In the future, we may have the user identified as a record author if they modified something in the tool for audit purposes, so other users can be aware of who modified the record.
