Fleetcycle (R) Line Manager (FCXL) is a line maintenance execution system designed to meet the dynamic demands of the aircraft in-service environment. This best-of-breed software product equips line maintenance personnel with the tools needed to optimize routine and non-routine task performance while giving decision makers the ability to track maintenance status in real time at widely-distributed line stations within and outside the operator’s enterprise.
FleetCycle® Line Manager (FCXL) automates the execution of line (aircraft-in-service) maintenance activities by delivering:

  • the execution of scheduled, unscheduled or spontaneous maintenance requirements
  • optimization of fleet in service time
  • integration with in-flight information systems
  • detailed task information for the line station mechanic
  • electronic entry of non-routine tasks
  • real-time monitoring, communication and corrective actions
  • compliance with industry standards, best practices and regulatory rules
  • dynamic data mining and search capabilities

Using FCXL to process timely corrective actions ensures the on-time completion of maintenance requirements, the prerequisite for achieving the critical-to-business-success flight dispatch schedules

A core requirement for every airline operator is to maintain each aircraft in a safe and airworthy condition. A major challenge faced by every operator is to properly manage the execution of routine and non-routine task maintenance requirements for in-service aircraft at line stations.

FCXL provides the structure and support for efficient and effective line maintenance processes, critical elements for meeting/exceeding the safety, dispatch reliability, customer satisfaction and financial performance goals of airline operators.
