Use Cases
Well-known engine types which are reliable and stay longer in the market than expected due to the teething issues on the new engine types.
Material supply issues and shop capacity constraints lead to higher TATs. Clever workscoping, LLP exchanges and removal planning can reduce MRO cost in a significant amount. Same is for taking lease return conditions and lessor requirements into account while making optimal use of maintenance reserves. We want to prolong engine life just as much as necessary, keeping the additional investment cost as low as possible.
New engine types with considerable teething issues as the for example environmental barrier coating on HPT shrouds, fuel nozzle coking (LEAP) or powder metal issues (PW1100). This leads to a huge burden of additional cost, facing unhappy customers on all sides. It will take more time to implement possible solutions. For example, to tackle the fuel nozzle coking issue, the reverse bleed system has to be installed on 9.000 engines worldwide. Thousands of PW1100 engines have to be grounded for inspection and material replacement, leading to hundreds of engines which are waiting for induction in front of the engine shops. Last but not least, repair capabilities are still building up and no MRO is offering any pricing model based on hourly usage. Therefore, airlines should make use of expertise even more.
