What is the role of data in lower maintenance costs? Operational effectiveness and data integrity are highly correlated. This article examines the reasons behind reoccurring issues and workarounds caused by data errors and inconsistencies, as well as strategies for resolving them.
Addressing Staff Shortages in Aircraft Maintenance
A serious but little-known problem facing the aviation industry is the severe lack of engineers for aircraft maintenance. The industry is struggling to find enough Generation Z workers to fill the growing gap left by the baby boomer generation's retirement, which could compromise the efficiency and security of aviation operations.
Data-Driven Aircraft Maintenance: How to get there?
Discover how improving safety, effectiveness, and reliability through data-driven maintenance can transform the aviation industry. Learn how to overcome data quality and integration challenges, integrate and analyse data for predictive maintenance, and reap the benefits of maximising aircraft utilisation and minimising unplanned maintenance.
Optimizing Airworthiness Checks: The Role of Data Management
Explore how data quality management optimizes airworthiness checks for safer flights, ensuring accuracy and compliance in aviation.
The Significance of a Single Source of Truth in Aircraft Maintenance
Why is it vital to have a "single source of truth" in the realm of aircraft maintenance? The use of this centralised data source leads to enhanced safety through proactive maintenance and a reduced risk of unexpected failures. Furthermore, it streamlines workflows, minimises errors, and results in significant cost efficiencies.
Tips & Tricks: Important points to consider during a data migration project to avoid airworthiness data issues in the long term and save costs
Migration of an airline’s fleet airworthiness & maintenance data is not something that happens daily. Typically, it becomes relevant when the airline’s maintenance & engineering department selects to implement a new MRO/M&E software system to manage its fleet. However, the way HOW the data migration is performed as part of the MRO/M&E software system implementation is of great significance and will have a long-lasting effect in the years to come.
How to Identify the state of your Data Quality and Integrity and what to do?
Before talking about the state of your data, let’s first get quickly into what is the meaning of data quality and data integrity.
Data quality refers to the overall level of excellence and trustworthiness of data. It is the measure of how well data meets the needs of its intended users and the degree to which it is fit for its intended purpose. Factors that contribute to data quality include accuracy, completeness, consistency, timeliness, and relevance.
The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) defines data quality as Accuracy, Resolution, and Integrity.
Aircraft Phase in series: How to set up modification control data?
In this aircraft phase in the blog, we will discuss modification control setup and initialization of maintenance events in an M&E/MRO system.
How can we Improve the Management of Airworthiness Data throughout the Aircraft Life Cycle?
Data plays a critical role in the aviation industry, providing valuable insights and enabling decision-making that can improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance safety. The importance of data in aviation can be broken down into the following areas:
Is your Airworthiness Compliance in Danger? How to get a First Indication with The Data Traffic Light System
Data plays a crucial role in ensuring airworthiness compliance for aircraft. Regulatory bodies require operators to maintain detailed records of maintenance, inspections, and repairs, as well as the airworthiness status of their aircraft.
Are you using Excel or other Workarounds because you don't trust the Data in your MRO/M&E Software System?
You are not alone. We often come across workarounds, even at airlines that have modern MRO/M&E software systems in place. MRO/M&E systems rely on data that is created and maintained by multiple users, often from different departments with different levels of experience.
The Role of MRO/M&E Software Systems in Aircraft Airworthiness Management and Impact of Aircraft Data
MRO /M&E ERP software is a crucial tool in the management of aircraft airworthiness. Airworthiness, in the context of aviation, refers to the state of an aircraft being fit and safe to fly. Ensuring airworthiness is the responsibility of the aircraft owner or operator, and it involves various tasks, including regular inspections, repairs, and maintenance.
The Basics of Aircraft Airworthiness Management & Data
Aircraft airworthiness management is the process of ensuring that an aircraft is safe to fly and meets the regulatory requirements for operation. This is a critical aspect of aviation safety, as it helps to minimize the risk of accidents and incidents caused by malfunctioning or poorly maintained aircraft.
How to Save Costs in Aircraft Maintenance by Focusing on Data?
When thinking of aircraft maintenance costs, the quickest rationale is to take your costs for scheduled maintenance, add a margin for unscheduled maintenance costs divide it by 365 days, and there you have your Daily Maintenance Costs.
Is Predictive maintenance On Your Agenda?
Before starting with predictive maintenance we need to work on one important aspect - data quality and data standardization
Practical Example: Automatic Data Quality Checks
When one of the world’s largest helicopter operators knew that the data residing in their MRO software system led to the grounding of aircraft, they turned to EXSYN.
Practical Example: Aircraft & Engine Phase In - Automatic Data Loader
Phasing-in new aircraft and engines can be a time-consuming task. One of the largest cargo operators wanted to change this situation and turned to EXSYN.
