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 4^th of November here at the Aircraft IT platform! More information coming soon @www.h2020-remap.eu.
