# Creating an ECH for a TA

After the TA Schedule has been created (see [Scheduling Equipment for a TA](/v414/docs/scheduling-equipment-for-a-ta)), you need to create an Equipment Condition History (ECH) for the TA. This is where the Turnaround findings will be captured. This way it can again later be reviewed (see [Reviewing Previous Turnaround Findings](/v414/docs/reviewing-previous-turnaround-findings)).

## Reviewing Schedules

To Review the Schedules (that connects your Equipment with the TA):

- Go to the **Equipment** main screen.
- Open your Equipment details page.
- Scroll to the Schedules section.
- Click on your newly created Schedule (see [Scheduling Equipment for a TA](/v414/docs/scheduling-equipment-for-a-ta)) to open the Schedule details page.
- Take note of the PE Description, i.e. the Planned Event connected to your Equipment.
- Scroll to the Scope and plan codes section.
- Take note that the PLAN: The Plan code checklist is defaulted to the “VISUAL”.
