European research lifts aviation maintenance up into the new era of digitizationWith a major study of several European universities and industries (ReMAP) with TU Delft as project leader, a step has been taken in the modernization of aircraft maintenance using Artificial Intelligence. During a six-month test period at KLM, using KLM’s real-time operational data, it …

Establishing CBM as a Mainstream Maintenance PracticeThe objective of Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) is to perform maintenance based on “the evidence of need” while ensuring safety, reliability, availability, and reduced life cycle costs. The primary evidence is data produced by supporting technologies such as health monitoring systems and related enterprise level business applications such as …

Aircraft maintenance is undergoing a paradigm shift, where Remaining-Useful-Life (RUL) prognostics are central. But is it straightforward to integrate RUL prognostics into maintenance planning? What are the modelling challenges? Which RUL prognostics have actually been integrated into maintenance planning? We discuss these challenges in our special session on “Predictive aircraft maintenance integrating RUL prognostics” at …

by Joel Ferreira (TAP Portugal Airline) Prediction, as part of the broader concept condition-based maintenance, is something that is being explored as never before in several industries, as machine learning and artificial intelligence expand their reach at a hypersonic pace. In aircraft maintenance we have been exploring the potential of this concept for a long …
In the context of ReMAP’s project, we are analysing the areas in aircraft maintenance where condition-based maintenance (CBM) improves Fleet Earning Potential. Fleet earning potential (FEP), i.e., the amount of earning that a fleet is capable of generating, depends on three elements: Mission capacityNumber of flights an airline is capable of scheduling given the aircraft …
