Aircraft maintenance philosophies have progressed over the years from preventative replacement or restoration to the enhanced Maintenance Steering Group (MSG) 3 methodologies. Essentially, if a functional failure of a particular system demonstrated no effect on the operational safety of the aircraft, nor were economical repercussions significant, there was no need for routine maintenance activity. Flight crew failure reporting during normal operations serves as the initiation of system rectification.
Centurion AMS has developed effective and efficient aircraft maintenance programs that utilize the latest MSG-3 data and inspection processes. Our programs take full advantage of the zonal/area inspection concept by integrating Corrosion Prevention and Control Program and Structural Inspection requirements as well as Aging Aircraft and Supplemental Structural Inspection tasks. As a result, repetitive open-up and out-of-phase inspections have been eliminated increasing productivity and lowering maintenance costs. Depending on aircraft configuration, maintenance labor savings can range from 10% to 30% with additional decreases anticipated in aircraft downtime and unscheduled maintenance man-hours.
Supporting our programs is the Centurion AMS work card system designed with the repair station in mind. Job phasing, detailed instructions, zonal/area inspections and maintenance manual referencing have been combined to streamline production saving time and money where it counts most: on the hangar floor. Our work card system guides maintenance personnel through each step of the way, from start to finish, in an understandable and informative format.
The Centurion AMS aircraft maintenance program and work card system is the tool you need to lower maintenance costs, reduce out-of-service activities and increase systems reliability.
Corporate/VIP operators face an even greater challenge developing and implementing inspection and/or continuous airworthiness maintenance programs for their large out-of-production aircraft. Most do not have the in-house resources to review and address program inconsistencies impacting their current check scheduling. This can lead to unnecessary disassembly and wear and tear on a priceless interior, in addition to increased maintenance costs and unwanted downtime.
Centurion AMS has comprehensive knowledge in the area of corporate/VIP requirements and the complications modified interiors can create. Whether it is customization of your existing maintenance program or transition to MSG-3, we will examine every aspect of your aircraft to determine system factors and inspection thresholds. Centurion AMS can effectively reduce the number of interior intrusions maintaining the style and beauty of your home in the sky.
As with corporate/VIP aircraft, commercial operators are also confronted with aftermarket installations and modifications requiring inspections for continued airworthiness. If these tasks are not properly integrated into the aircraft maintenance program, the results can be disastrous. As with other peripheral inspection programs, Centurion AMS has the expertise to analyze and schedule the provisions of aftermarket inspection data packages to be performed at the proper time intervals preventing task fall-outs between maintenance visits.
Whether a corporate/VIP or commercial operator, Centurion AMS program customization is your protection against the rising costs associated with improperly applied and out-of-phase inspections.
Many out-of-production aircraft operating under current MSG-2 maintenance programs will continue to operate under these requirements, since MSG-3 is not being offered or is not yet available for some early model airframes.
Centurion AMS can restructure your current MSG-2 maintenance program by employing the same MSG-3 zonal/area concept along with the Centurion AMS work card system resulting in many of the same benefits and cost savings of the MSG-3 program.
Additionally, program modifications take into consideration operator demand based on time and/or cycle utilization allowing you to squeeze the most out of your maintenance system. If MSG-3 is not in your future, you cannot afford to disregard MSG-2 realignment.
The decision to transition to MSG-3 can be a relatively easy one to make when considering the cost saving advantages alone. However, bridging from your current program to MSG-3 may be the one aspect of change that is holding you back from making the right choice. In fact, the bridging process can be quite complicated with some resorting to performing the current MPD/OAMP block interval in its entirety before implementing the new program. This approach wastes both time and money.
Centurion AMS has extensive program bridging experience with the ability to effect a smooth transition from your old program to MSG-3. We will evaluate your current program, review the technical records supporting your system and provide an integration matrix detailing MSG-3 changeover.
By performing line item assessments, we eliminate unnecessary duplication and the early accomplishment of maintenance inspections and out-of-phase tasks. Using this approach, Centurion AMS can reduce your transition costs exponentially and get your program moving in the right direction the first time around.
As with MSG-3 implementation, Centurion AMS has the qualifications to transition any existing program from one system to another. MSG-3 implementation and MSG-2 realignment are primary examples of our commitment at reducing maintenance costs for operators. Key factors for these processes include our ability to combine program requirements with the experience to bridge resulting in an effective maintenance machine.
Program transition, when delivered in a format that is presentable and understandable to all parties involved, can be done efficiently and effectively. Centurion AMS has the qualities and the background to represent our customers to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with pride and professionalism. We comprehend the language and regulations of our FAA counterparts and have worked hard at developing relationships throughout the industry. If FAA approval is your major concern, Centurion AMS can alleviate your anxiety and guarantee swift and expedient document endorsement.
Maintenance planning is a vital department within any organization providing the foundation for a solid maintenance system. Unfortunately commercial and corporate operators must sometimes rely on assigning this critical task as an added responsibility for their Director of Maintenance or to a less knowledgeable person within the company dividing their time between current operational demands and inspection scheduling. This can result in improperly planned inspections and heavy maintenance checks costing time and money.
Centurion AMS can provide your company with the most essential resource available in today's market: Out-Source Planning Services (OPS).
To initiate Centurion OPS, we input operator baseline program inspection requirements into the Centurion Aircraft Maintenance Management System (CAMMS) whether time, cycle and/or calendar controlled events. For those customers investing in Centurion AMS program and bridging support, our system is preloaded offering a quick and easy transition to OPS.
Next, we upload the current inspection data on each aircraft within the operator's fleet and apply the CAMMS controls flowing the data to airframe, engines and components for limiter statistics. Once active, OPS planners analyze the information to derive a maintenance schedule and budget figures based upon projected customer utilization. With OPS, operators will have the power to make educated decisions about the direction of their company.
Further, OPS planners relentlessly strive to reduce customer costs by providing continuous program evaluations based on actual operator utilization. Time and cycle updates are provided via our web link and are uploaded into CAMMS. After data processing, the information is reviewed by OPS planners followed by customer notification should adjustments to the schedule be warranted.
OPS also provides customers advisory notices of any regulatory compliance issues impacting their aircraft. Through our regulatory library updated bi-weekly, OPS planners verify those items applicable to an operator's fleet, enter the controls into CAMMS, prepare an advisory notice of the new requirement and, if the actions require immediate attention, prepare a supplemental work card to accomplish the task before the due date.
Centurion OPS also provides check package preparation and forwarding for all your maintenance activities. Our service includes work card customization tailored to operator configuration and program requirements, sequentially organizing maintenance tasks based on inspection scheduling, including lower interval transit and service checks, and package duplication and forwarding for multiple Maintenance-Repair-Overhaul (MRO) facility review and bidding.
Additionally, OPS planners will provide man-hour calculations and a cost analysis for each project empowering our customers with the ability to monitor and effectively control maintenance costs and yearly budgets.
Bottom line, Centurion OPS has the ability to organize, estimate and deliver your work requirements without you having to lift a finger.
Centurion OPS is your single source answer for your entire work package needs.
