4. Purpose of Organization Identifier
The Organization Identifier becomes the “acronym” for the organization to which it is assigned.
Organization business names vary in length, and are not suitable to summary reports where predictable spacing is necessary.
The Org ID is also used by some CAAs as a part of the file number assigned to the organization.
An Org ID should be assigned only with the concurrence of management.
The Organization Identifier is limited to 6 character spaces to conserve space in a formal report.
The Org ID is used throughout the database in lieu of the organization’s business name.
...and management should only concur for organizations that require the safety oversight functions of the CAA

5. Organization Identifier Start-Up
The CASORT Database Suite is provided with no Organization Identifiers entered.
The only entry in the Organization Identifier drop-down menu will be the “0000-Need New Organization Identifier.”
It is the responsibility of the Data Quality Coordinator to:
“ADD” new Organization Identifiers,
“EDIT” (revise) existing descriptions, and
“RETIRE” (De-activate) numbers for Projects that are completed.
This DQC responsibility should be very restricted to ensure that “standardized” entries are made.
Having a single point of entry through the DQC ensures that there are not duplicates, different Organization Identifiers for the same place and poorly entered numbers/descriptions.

6. Setting Normal User Permissions

This will give the user the ability to VIEW, SEARCH and USE (Select) a Organization Identifier from the menu on Action Entry form.
User will NOT be able to ADD a new Org ID, or EDIT an existing Org ID.

7. DQC View-Add-Edit Permissions
The DQC should have the responsibility for ensuring that the Organization Identifier listing is “standardized.“
The DQC with this assignment will be given the permissions for VIEW-ADD-EDIT.
The assignment of persons to ENTER and EDIT Organization Identifiers should be restricted to 1 or 2 persons.

10. Create an Organization Id
Determine a 3 or 4 letter acronym for the organization.
From the following list, select a prefix letter denoting general type of organization.
A = Air Operator (AOC) of Large Aircraft
B = Basic (AOC) Air Operator (Air Taxi)
C= Commuter (AOC) Air Operator
H = Helicopter (AOC) Air Operator
F = Foreign Air (FAOC) Operator
M = Maintenance (AMO) Organization
T = Training (ATO) Organization
W = Aerial Work (AWC) Operator
Place the Prefix Letter in front of the acronym
Separate the Prefix from the acronym by a hyphen.
Take time to ensure that the acronym is acceptable to management.
Remember: You will not be able to change this Organization Identifier after this record is saved.

11. Purpose of Prefix Letter
The Prefix Letter serves to group the organizations with similar certificates and authorizations.
This will be an important feature as the number of approved organizations gets larger.

12. Offer of Service
The previous slide recommends the protocol for having a Prefix Letter in front of the acronym used for the organization.
We recognize that this recommendation is contrary to recommendations provided prior to 2012.
If your CAA is using the pre-2012 protocol of having the last letter in the acronym to indicate the type of certificate, you may continue to use the previous method.
If your CAA has a large number of certificated organizations, this new recommendation for formatting provides more efficient accessing.
If you choose that option, we will assist you to make that changeover at no charge.

13. Business Name
The Business Name used by the organization for operations under the specific certificate (AOC, AMO, ATO, AWC) should be entered.
A separate Organization Identifier is required for each certificate issued to the company.
Foreign organizations with CAA approval should have the acronym for the State of the Organization in brackets following the business name.
It is not unusual for an organization to use the same business name for each type of certificate approved by the CAA
Example:
A-AWA: Anywhere Airlines
M-AWA: Anywhere Airlines
Example: Delta Airlines [USA]

Note that when an applicant completes certification it will be necessary for the DQC to revise the organization type to the correct certificate.

23. Key Points of This Lesson
The assigned Org ID cannot be edited after the originating Organization Identifier record is saved.
Org IDs should only be assigned to those organizations that are under the safety oversight of the CAA.
The Org ID is used to selectively connect all CAA Action records pertaining to a specific organization.
Inserting a Prefix Letter before the Organization acronym provides better VIEW and report access.
A Org ID that has been made “inactive” will no longer appear in the default listing, but may continue to be used.
Any report involving organizations will contain the Org ID for each record displayed.
