Rusada unveils Inventory Management App for ENVISION

VEVEY, SWITZERLAND: Rusada, the global aviation software provider, has released its latest mobile application for its Airworthiness, MRO, and Flight Operations solution ENVISION.

ENVISION Stock allows warehouse and stores personnel to perform multiple common inventory tasks on-the-go. Users can receive, relocate, and issue stock as well as conduct inventory counts, and ship assets, all from a tablet or phone.

This removes the need for paper printouts and handwritten notes as all necessary information is available within the app. It is also capable of scanning barcodes on parts or orders using the device’s camera, thereby speeding up data entry and eliminating user errors.

This is the second mobile application released by Rusada this year after their maintenance execution app, ENVISION Tasks,launched in May.

ENVISION Stock is available on iOS and Android devices and is fully approved by both Apple and Google.

“A key focus for us over the last 18 months has been the digitization of processes that are still being carried out via paper. So much time is wasted, and effort duplicated when users are required to perform an activity, record it on paper, go back to a desk and then update a system. ENVISION Stock does away with all this, providing users instant access to information wherever they are.

“I would like to congratulate our development teams on the launch of another excellent application and am looking forward to seeing it in use in the real world with our growing customer base.”

Julian Stourton CEO at Rusada

Why tail-specific performance models matter?

Tail-specific performance model is the innovation, which becomes more and more popular in the aviation industry. Probably you are wondering what exactly performance models are and what does it mean that they are tail specific?

Main goal of a performance model is to calculate the fuel consumption over time at defined conditions. ​For example, if you would like to know the flight time, distance and fuel burn of descent – you need a performance model. If you put to the model an aircraft weight, speed and weather forecast, you will get information how your descent profile will look like. Because such a model “knows” how much you will burn for every possible condition, it can tell the speed that will give the lowest fuel burn or cost.

So why there is so much rumor about tail-specific models? In a nutshell, each aircraft is different from each other: some have higher drag, in other engines are a bit less efficient and some are modified beyond legacy performance model. All of these have an impact on fuel burn. If you put all aircraft of the same type into one model you lose what makes each aircraft individual. With tail-specific performance models, you get the highest precision of fuel consumption calculation. While FMS or Flight Planning Software usually has one – legacy model for all aircraft of a given type, nowadays it is possible to get a separate model for each tail number, each engine & APU.

While legacy models were mostly used for calculating approximate in-flight fuel consumption, by using machine learning and big data from QAR/FDR the new generation of tail-specific performance models can answer many more questions:

  • What is the true difference in fuel consumption between single and dual engine taxi, taking into account uphils, downhils, engine aging and APU model?
  • flaps and acceleration altitude for any airport?
  • What is the accuracy of flight planning’s fuel policy calculations?
  • Does the low setting of air conditioning packs induce fuel saving?

With machine-learning models, StorkJet can compare how much fuel an airline would burn in the exact same weather and operational conditions if the pilot would make different decisions (like using different flaps, performing SE taxi, flying with different speed or altitude or descending earlier).

Such an approach allows to assess the importance of every aspect of fuel policy and aircraft performance and easily find ways to improve and cut costs by giving more vital information for fuel efficiency departments, performance engineers, policymakers, and pilots.

Let’s check real cases how tail-specific performance models can lower airlines’ costs.

Individual degradation factors delivered ASAP

In the traditional Aircraft Performance Monitoring process (APM) the degradation factors are jumping from month to month even by 1%. As a result, airlines need to average the results over one or three months. It means, that when there is a large change in aircraft performance (e.g. engine change to more efficient one by 2%), the airline will fly even 3 months, planning 2% more fuel than needed. In the opposite situation, when degradation would increase by 2%, pilots could notice overburns and as a result, start to plan higher discretionary fuel. Both situations result in a fuel penalty.

With tail-specific performance models, airlines can very precisely determine the performance of an aircraft at any specific point in time. ​On the chart below you can see that after an airline switched from traditional APM to StorkJet’s AdvancedAPM aircraft deterioration calculations look much smoother. Also, there were two engine changes, with more than 2% change of Total Deterioration visible on the first flight after the maintenance action. Thanks to that, airlines can change fuel factor on their flight plan just after the change occur and as a result, save fuel.

Optimum speeds and altitudes designed for each tail

Another case where individual aircraft characteristics matter is Flight Profile Optimization. Let’s analyze real data from two aircraft of the same type. For the same gross weight, route and weather conditions both flight plan and FMS would give the same ECON speeds and altitudes for them.

On the chart below you can see what is actual Direct Operation Cost (fuel burn + cost of time) for these aircraft. As you can see with grey points and dashed lines the economical speed on cruise differs by up to 0.01 Mach between both aircraft. It appears that these two aircraft of the same type are in fact very different.

When having a deeper look on how much can be saved by this difference, the saving potential of AC-2 is 20% larger than saving potential of AC-1. By using tail specific performance models airlines can see such difference and advise pilots to fly differently (in this case a bit faster) on AC-2 to realize all of the possible savings. This can be done by scheduling AC-2 flights with a bit higher cost index.

Detailed feedback to pilots

As we all know, pilots are the key players in fuel efficiency. They also need to understand what impact their behavior has on fuel consumption. At StorkJet, pilots after each flight receive a comparison of their flight path to the most optimum one. These charts optimize flight speed and vertical profile during climb, cruise, and descent.

Below, an example of the cruise speed optimization chart is presented. The optimum speed is marked as the green line and the actual one (blue line) is the one selected by the pilot. The green area is the saving potential, which in that flight is equal to 1554 kg. With such information, pilots can check where the areas for improvement are and what actions might have the biggest impact on CO2 reduction.


True savings from Single Engine Taxi

There is common knowledge on the market that while taxiing with single engine airline will save for example 5 kg per one minute of taxiing on medium range aircraft (after a cooling period). This might lead to wrong conclusions, because taxiing on single engine takes longer than a dual one, which generates a fuel penalty.

Some airports might have uphills, so single engine will be even slower. Or on the contrary, there might be traffic on some airports – in that case single engine generates more savings because we wait in a queue only on one engine.
With creating dedicated models for taxi, StorkJet takes into calculation all above mentioned relations. When a pilot performs dual engine (grey line), he might compare it to the single one, which is fully simulated (the blue one).

On the charts, we can see what is fuel saving potential (green area) as well as time penalty (red area). The above chart shows example when a pilot in total saved 23 kg of fuel. The example below shows a case when single engine would generate fuel penalty equal to 11,7 kg. On the contrary, in the standard approach both cases would show the same fuel savings.

Thanks to apple-to-apple comparison calculated for each flight and for each fuel initiative, analyst can easily find these areas of operations where the biggest savings are hidden.

Air Astana chooses StorkJet to monitor aircraft performance

Air Astana decided to improve the Aircraft Performance Monitoring process for their fleet. With AdvancedAPM, the airline will more accurately plan fuel for the flight, optimize descent with Idle Factor and easily diagnose airframe or engine-related problems.

Air Astana is based in Kazakhstan, Almaty. It operates scheduled, domestic and international services on 64 routes from its main hub, Almaty International Airport, and also from its secondary hub, Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport. Air Astana was founded in January 2006 and has been constantly developing since then, increasing the number of passengers served every year from 1.5m to 5.1m customers per year. It supports many domestic connections as well as international flights to Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

With tail-specific performance models, based on QAR data and powered by Artificial Intelligence Air Astana can monitor the performance of each aircraft even for each day. Also, with over 80 engine and airframe diagnostic charts, they will be able to easily find the root cause of performance degradation. Everything in an easy and fully automatic way.

Nowadays, it becomes more and more crucial to implement fuel efficiency procedures in airlines. The number of flights is constantly growing and by now aviation industry is responsible for 3% of global CO2 emissions.

Responsible airlines such as Air Astana takes part in creating this positive fuel efficiency eco-system.

Titan Airways go paperless with eTechLog8

Conduce and Titan Airways are delighted to share that on 16th September 2021 Titan Airways received their “Letter of No Objection” from the UK CAA to use Conduce’s electronic logbook (ELB) solution, eTechLog8. On the same day, eTechLog8, which was already on-board the UK based fleet and being used in parallel, became the legal record for Titan Airways’ first paperless UK eTechLog8 flight. With eTechLog8 deployed across the whole fleet, Titan Airways now benefit from the availability of real time accurate aircraft information 24/7 and has eradicated paper technical logbooks from the cockpit.

The eTechLog8 project commenced in January 2020 but the brakes were applied in March 2020 due to the global pandemic. Undeterred by the industry wide chaos, the project team kept up desktop trials until the project recommenced in December 2020. This parallel desktop trial enabled the configuration to be fully tried and tested and paved the way for Titan Airways to fully replace the paper-based aircraft technical logbooks, including deferred defect logbooks and cabin logbooks, with a smart electronic solution.

The UK CAA approval comes in quick succession after another exciting project milestone last month. In August 2021, Titan Airways received their AOC Application Approval from Transport Malta and began flying with eTechLog8 on board from day one of Maltese operations. As eTechLog8 is approved with many airlines in Malta, the approval was the swiftest eTechLog8 approval by a national airworthiness authority to date, a testament to the hard work and commitment of all involved.

The Conduce project team, led by Vera Bankina, Senior Project Manager, provided Titan Airways with full system configuration advice, bespoke training material and users guides for the eTechLog8 suite of products. Conduce also provided full support to meet the requirements of the UK CAA and Transport Malta to allow for the adoption of an ELB.

Vera commented “With admirable perseverance and despite the struggles of 2020, the Titan team managed to approve eTechLog8 as their primary technical log system and hit a couple more milestones along the way – the addition of a new aircraft model to the fleet and a new AOC – both with eTechLog8 onboard from day one. Fantastic job by the professional team – Conduce are very proud of this project and looking forward to the next phase.”

At Titan Airways, the project was run directly by the engineering team, led by Sara Bellis, and worked closely with all areas of the Airline, from Flight and Ground Operations to Finance. The unique challenges caused by COVID-19 meant that training staff at all levels was a huge challenge which, combined with the nature of the operation and fleet types, required a determined approach to bring the system to fruition.

Dave Bunker, Engineering Director at Titan Airways, commented “Our thanks to the Conduce team for working closely with us on this project throughout a difficult period where remote working has become the norm and learning curves steep”. 

About Conduce:  With offices in the UK and Australia, Conduce provide robust mobile solutions for the world’s airlines. eTechLog8 is the leading ELB solution to replace paper technical logbooks. eTechLog8 is certified by many National Airworthiness Authorities worldwide, often managing multiple AOC’s. Full integration with many MIS/MRO back-office airline systems is standard. (www.conduce.net)

Groundbreaking Analysis on Fleet Earning Potential with CBM

In the context of ReMAP’s project, we are analysing the areas in aircraft maintenance where condition-based maintenance (CBM) improves Fleet Earning Potential.

Feet earning potential (FEP), i.e., the amount of earning that a fleet is capable of generating, depends on three elements:

Mission capacity              Number of flights an airline is capable of scheduling given the aircraft planned ground time (impacted by fuelling, passenger onboarding, maintenance…)
  Operational unreliability     Airline’s ability to operate those flights (impacted by weather, air-traffic control, technical state of the aircraft…)
  Cost  Cost of operations (fuel, personnel costs, maintenance…)

Since all the three components are impacted by maintenance, we are analyzing how CBM, through diagnostics and prognostics for systems and structures (PHM, SHM) can increase fleet earning potential in three different ways:

This analysis is part of an ongoing work dedicated to the integration, validation and demonstration of ReMAP’s technologies.

During the next months, we will share with our stakeholders our findings and strategies towards the implementation of CBM. Don’t miss our videos, whitepapers and join us in our webinar on the 4th of November here at the Aircraft IT platform! More information coming soon @www.h2020-remap.eu.
