Re ALIS, seems totally over the top, my Audi simply pops up a Service on the panel and a countdown to that
The use of ALIS also eliminates the need for paper manuals; all of the information is stored in the system and configuration updates are automatically provided.
Fine until it gets a round through it.
ALIS is programmed to prioritize parts allocation based on principles agreed upon by all partners in the last Joint Executive Steering Board in March, Mellon explains. The agreement allows for squadrons in wartime operations to be prioritized no matter what nation owns them, he notes.
Again two jets needing a part, one in a country about to get over run, one next on he list, who gets priority, and of course you have to get it to them, will the US in the same war fall as a second priority for that part?
