This activity is used to change the maintenance group for a serial. When the conditions that affect the use of a serial are altered, you may need to change the maintenance group connected to the serial. For example, assume your aircraft has been flying long distance for a certain period of time. However, due to the purchase of new aircraft for your fleet, this aircraft is now planned to fly short distance only. As a result, this aircraft will perform more frequent landings and would ideally find useful a maintenance group that is more focused on landing gear. Furthermore, performing a modification on a serial could also result in the necessity for a different maintenance.
