Ive been retired 2-3 times now and keep finding myself back out in the field trying to keep myself entertained .

Just the man I need to speak to, LOL! Do you know anything about FIN's (Functional Identification Numbers) for a an A320. I have a project I'm working on to load a new aircraft in to the system using a data disk supplied by AIRBUS. But need to educate myself on how FIN's are interpreted with regards to part position on the A/C (left, right, center, etc...) Could you point me to the right document? Not a KZ question, but what the heck, nothing to lose by asking.
