Korean Air Rolls Out Enigma Solutions and Oracle Applications For Aircraft Fleet Maintenance and Engineering
BURLINGTON, Mass.—June 28, 2011—Enigma Inc., the leader in aftermarket service and support technology and a Gold level member of Oracle® PartnerNetwork (OPN), today announced that Korean Air (KAL) has gone live with its implementation of Enigma 3C® InService MRO and Job Card Generator (JCG) with Oracle Complex Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (cMRO) and an upgrade to the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 to facilitate the maintenance of its entire fleet of aircraft. Korean Air is one of Asia’s largest airlines, and the world’s largest commercial airline cargo carrier, with a fleet of almost 150 aircraft.
The implementation of the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 and Enigma in place of Airbus’s AirNav, Boeing’s PMA and multiple other legacy systems introduces a fully integrated, modern IT environment that meets the specific needs of KAL’s maintenance and engineering department and maintenance shops. At every phase of the maintenance process, both scheduled and unscheduled, the combined solution retains up-to-date aircraft configurations, provides detailed planning and scheduling capabilities, serves as the system of record for all maintenance activities and automates key processes such as job card generation, non-routine maintenance requirements and parts procurement.
Oracle cMRO delivers the functionality to manage maintenance operations, from configuration management to scheduling, inventory resource allocation and compliance. The Enigma solutions turn work orders into job cards, provide service, parts and troubleshooting information, capture operational expertise and connect back to Oracle cMRO to manage and optimize service execution. By providing engineers, planners and technicians with complete, accurate and timely information, the Enigma and Oracle solution helps reduce operating costs, accelerate repairs and improve compliance for aviation maintenance and engineering (M&E) operations.
More than 3,000 field service technicians, maintenance engineers, maintenance planners and technical writers work with the Enigma and Oracle solution as the single source for all information related to airframe, engine and component maintenance, which includes over 100 OEM maintenance manuals and parts catalogs, and all Korean Air maintenance supplements, service bulletins and schematics.
The Enigma solutions handle a mixed fleet of aircraft and engine models, including Airbus A300-600 and A330; Boeing B737-5, B747-400 and B777; Bombardier BD-700; Cessna CE525 and CE560; Gulfstream G-IV; Sikorsky S76; Pratt & Whitney PW4000 series and JT9D, GEAE GE90 and CFMI CFM56. KAL will also use the system to support the Airbus A380 this year and the Boeing B787 next year. The Enigma and Oracle system also supports service and parts documentation for components and auxiliary power unit (APU) maintenance activities.
Korean Air implemented Enigma InService MRO and Revision Manager combined with Oracle Universal Content Management (for document workflows) and XMetaL (for authoring). This included processing of OEM data, analysis/bursting, editing, reviewing, approving, distribution, and viewing by technicians. KAL has now gone live with Enigma fully-implemented with Oracle cMRO and incorporates the Enigma InService Job Card Generator module. KAL uses InService Job Card Generator to automate the production of thousands of dynamic task cards each day, which are used by technicians and inspectors to guide maintenance practices and document regulatory compliance.
Korean Air is the first joint customer for the Oracle and Enigma relationship in aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul. Oracle served as the prime contractor for the complete MRO system being implemented at Korean Air, demonstrating the success of the Enigma-Oracle partnership. Together, Oracle and Enigma helped enable Korean Air to increase aircraft uptime and improve regulatory compliance. Enigma’s industry knowledge and technology provides robust capabilities that complement Oracle’s solutions and are significant contributors to the Korean Air implementation and solution.
“Enigma has a proven track record of helping airlines and MROs to improve the efficiency of maintenance processes, and the success of the Korean Air project is another important testimony to the superiority of our software,” said Jonathan Yaron, CEO of Enigma. “As one of Asia’s largest airlines, KAL has a sophisticated maintenance operation, and we are delighted that Enigma software provides critical functionality at the heart of that operation.”
AeroMechanical Services granted expanded certification approval capability
Calgary, Alberta — June 27, 2011 — AeroMechanical Services Ltd. (TSX-V: AMA) (the “Company” or “AMA”) today announced Transport Canada Civil Aviation (“TCCA”) has expanded the delegated authority that allows AMA to approve the structural design aspects of an airworthiness certification for aircraft.
The expanded capability was accorded to Jon Busaan, AMA’s Manager of Certification Engineering, whose qualifications meet TCCA requirements for delegation in the area of aircraft structures. Mr. Busaan has worked with AMA since 2005 and is a Professional Engineer with 14 years of aeronautical engineering experience. He is the third individual at AMA to receive TCCA delegation. Two other AMA staff members possess systems and equipment delegation, which enables them to approve changes to aircraft electrical systems.
In order for AMA to install its Automated Flight Information Reporting System (“AFIRSTM”) onboard aircraft, a Supplemental Type Certificate (“STC”) is required. A STC constitutes approval to modify an aircraft design while retaining airworthiness certification and is necessary to permit retrofit installation of aeronautical products such as AFIRS. An organization must be appropriately delegated or be a certification authority (TCCA, FAA, EASA, etc.) in order to approve a change to an STC
“From a customer delivery standpoint, having these delegations in-house means less time is required to obtain an STC to install an AFIRS system onboard an aircraft,” said Jeff Brunner, Vice President of Operations. “If we encounter any issues during installation we can approve the necessary changes and continue without the involvement of an external party.”
AMA’s expertise in airworthiness certification enabled it to join a select group of Canadian companies in October 2008 who are approved by TCCA as a Design Approval Organization (“DAO”). Very few organizations achieve DAO status because of the time and expertise required to meet TCCA standards. AMA’s DAO status, along with the delegations it has received allows the Company to obtain and revise its own STCs with minimal Transport Canada oversight.

navAero takes off with EASA EFB STC for B767 With Airport Moving Map Capability
SUNDSVALL, SWEDEN, JUNE 20, 2011 — navAero announced today the achievement of EASA STC 10033897 for the company’s t▪Bag™C2 Class 2 Electronic Flight Bag system on the Boeing 767-200, 767-300, 767-300F and 767-400ER Series aircraft.
Executed by navAero in cooperation with U.S. Technical who facilitated the validation of the FAA STC ST02320LA, this certification is another of the highly integrated STCs for the navAero t▪Bag™C22 Class 2 EFB system. The system architecture includes the navAero-designed, AT&T-certified, UMTS/HSDPA 3G cellular modem module for onground data transfer. Also included is the navAero ARINC 429 module with custom software that enables the deployment of the JeppesenAirport Moving Map application on a Class 2 EFB platform. The EFB CPUs are deployed with cross-connectivity to provide data sharing between the two independent systems.
The STC also provides several different display options including the newly released t▪Pad™ 1100 display to provide customers with maximum flexibility in selecting the optimum viewing platform to meet their specific requirements and needs.
The awarding of this STC by EASA further validates the t▪Bag™C22 EFB as an affordable, Class 2 system fully capable of deploying advanced software like the airport surface area moving map software with own-ship position shown like the Airport Moving Map application available in the Jeppesen FlightDeck Pro software suite.
navAero spokesperson, Knut Aabo, Executive VP Sales and Marketing, states “This accomplishment is our nineteenth STC and the fifth highly complex integrated certification for our Class 2 EFB system. Having both the EASA and FAA STCs, navAero is now able to give B767 operators around the world the opportunity to have highly sophisticated, safetyenhancing situational awareness technology on the flight deck at an affordable cost.” Aabo continued: “And with the options we have grouped into the STC, we are providing operators with the ability to customize the navAero EFB solution to meet their own unique and specific needs and requirements. This further supports our company’s business mantra of providing customer-focused solutions rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.”
Achieving certification that allows for deployment of enhanced situational awareness applications like airport moving map software clearly shows the airline industry that affordably priced technology solutions from navAero fulfills all the needs and meets all the certification requirements. The navAero AT&T certified 3G module will be used to handle on-the-ground data movement to-and-from aircrafts at costs that are significantly lower than those available from other technologies and without the need for installing a sophisticated ground infrastructure to specifically handle the data transmission. Condor will be launching this navAero EFB system architecture during the later part of 2011.
