(StandardAero: Orlando, FL) -- As military aircraft grow more complex, components have become increasingly interdependent, making it difficult to isolate causes for system faults. Component and system reliability continue to reduce individual failure frequencies, and fewer failures mean fewer opportunities to learn troubleshooting techniques and relate symptoms to failed components. Troubleshooting has given way to a philosophy of changing parts until the problem goes away. As a result many serviceable components are removed for no good reason.

StandardAero has developed the Maintenance Insight system to collect and analyze data. The system improves maintenance of aviation engine accessories and airframe components through time-cycle and history tracking, reliability-based work scopes, and optimized maintenance practices. Increased aircraft availability and reduced operating costs are among the benefits.
