Which IMDS screen would you validate installed items against IMDS data for aircraft lacking a configuration table?

• A. 372
• B. 810
• C. 399
• D. 467

Answer: (B)

When an aircraft doesn’t have a configuration table, you need to ensure what’s actually installed matches what IMDS records. The screen you use in this situation is the one that directly validates installed items against the IMDS data, without relying on any configuration table. It checks each installed item (by its part number, serial, and related data) against the authoritative IMDS entries to confirm there are no mismatches or missing approvals. This approach is necessary because there’s no configuration table to define the expected items, so the validation must come from comparing the physical installation to the IMDS data itself. Other screens are designed for scenarios where a configuration table exists or for different validation tasks, and they wouldn’t specifically address the need to verify installations against IMDS data in the absence of a configuration table. In short, use the installation-validation screen that cross-checks every installed item with IMDS data to ensure accuracy and compliance when there’s no configuration table available.
