Avoid The Risk of Maintenance overrun and subsequent Grounding of aircraft
The maintenance due forecast is a critical set of aircraft data used by airlines and CAMOs daily. It determines when scheduled maintenance needs to be performed on the aircraft and all components installed. Ultimately it’s being determined based on the utilization of the aircraft, the approved maintenance program of the operator, any ADs / SBs or EOs applicable to the aircraft, and any deferred defects existing on the aircraft. One data entry mistake in this data and an operator ends up with a maintenance overrun and subsequent grounding of the aircraft.
Within NEXUS aircraft operators have the ability to use the MAINTENANCE FORECAST COMPARISON app. This provides the ability to perform a full verification on the integrity and correctness of the maintenance due forecast for each aircraft in the fleet. This allows having early detection of any potential errors or anomalies before they result in maintenance overruns and ground the aircraft. Here are a few examples of when this could be of use:
When introducing a new aircraft into your fleet, once fully set up and loaded in your MRO software system, a full verification can be done on the maintenance due forecast of this specific aircraft.
When switching from one MRO system to another; prior to going live each aircraft in the fleet can be verified for correct maintenance due forecast calculation. It even has prebuilt support for comparisons between TRAX, AMOS, OASES, Ramco, and many more
As part of annual Airworthiness Review inspections (ARC) to ensure that the airworthiness of the aircraft is properly managed.
When you run the workflow, all potential suspicious entries in the maintenance due forecast are listed in the dashboard, including an overview of total suspicious records per scheduled maintenance type. Additionally, reports can be downloaded for further action within your CAMO/engineering organization.
