Let Us Introduce you to The Aircraft Data Health Scan in NEXUS
Data is airworthiness compliance – data is relevant to keep the aircraft flying. For an engineer to do his/her job properly you need to trust the data that resides in the MRO/M&E system.
Unfortunately, too often we hear from engineers that they do not trust the data in the system. Blaming the MRO/M&E system for not working properly although it might even be a new one. That they need to have additional excel sheets to keep track of everything and to be able to trust the data.
After conducting a data health check, we often see that the reason behind it can be related back to the initial data migration during the MRO/M&E software system implementation. What happened is that the data was just pushed from the old system to the new system. Not enough time was spent on looking at the actual data itself if it’s correct what was recorded in the old system or looking for the actual source of truth. For example, do the cycles and flight hours per flight align with the accumulated of the total recorded flight hours and flight cycles?
A new MRO/M&E system has often better functionalities and offers a smoother process BUT it does not solve the issues you had in the old system; The phrase garbage in – garbage out best describes it. It’s the data that needs to be checked properly, cleansed, and often enriched to make the new MRO/M&E system work the way you expect it and to trust the data to help you do your job to keep the aircraft airworthy.
If you don’t do it the result is that engineers do not trust the new system and revert to their ‘familiar’ excel sheets.
Now I can hear you asking, how can we change this? We also want to get rid of the additional excel sheets (and hours spend on updating them) being able to trust the data in the MRO system.
Let us introduce you to the aircraft data health check in NEXUS - with NEXUS we bridge the gap between airworthiness management, data, and IT. The aircraft data health check in NEXUS enables you to do quick aircraft data checks, without the need for any programming or data science skills.
The aircraft data health check identifies inconsistencies in airworthiness data that might lead to the grounding of aircraft and achieve a standardized level of aircraft data quality.
The data scan function in NEXUS is a fully automatic data validation and airworthiness consistency check to identify:
if all data of an aircraft is available
if all data is up to date
if any gaps exist that might cause potential compliance issues
Think of:
1) Maintenance Forecast Verification
2) Maintenance Program Verification
3) Rotable Verification
4) Part Requirement Verification
