Long Term Maintenance Planning & Heavy Maintenance Oversight

 

​

All corporate aircraft eventually have maintenance events which can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.  Maintenance invoices from service centers can run over one million dollars if multiple calendar, hourly and cycle driven inspections are accomplished at the same time.  Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facilities are in the business to make money.  Most owners, pilots and mechanics do not have the background to deal with MRO’s representatives who will invariably push to gain approval for the completion of tasks that are not warranted, can be performed in a more cost effective manner or can be deferred until the next maintenance visit.  The staff at AMCS has extensive experience planning and managing major maintenance events.  They have worked for MRO facilities and understand their motivation.  Having an expert on your side that understands the options, alternatives and negotiations involved in heavy maintenance will allow you to safely save money on your next trip to an MRO.

 

AMCS recommends that you contact them to help with long term planning for your next heavy maintenance event.  They are familiar with all the latest maintenance tracking software and can create a comprehensive work package that will optimize the downtime of your next schedule service.  AMCS will negotiate with multiple MRO facilities to get the best possible deal.  It will then oversee the maintenance being performed to make sure it is being completed in the safest, most timely and most cost effective manner.  We will generate routine reports while monitoring the maintenance, so the final invoice amount will be understood and not come as a surprise to the aircraft owner or flight department manager.  In some cases, AMCS can generate an estimate of the final cost of a scheduled maintenance event before the aircraft arrives at the selected MRO.  This includes locking the MRO into fixing or capping the cost of some maintenance projects in order to get the work package.  Forecasting and managing aircraft maintenance in this manner is essential to controlling costs.

Please consider contacting AMCS during the forecasting phase of your maintenance planning to help guide you through this process from its beginning through to the completion of the maintenance event.  It will save you frustration and expense.
