Utilizing technology, resources and planning tools to improve PM programs can
keep maintenance-related overhead and
expenses low.
When creating a PM schedule, Craig
Ward, operations director at TCR, explains
the starting point is hours of use.
"From here, we derive all points of maintenance planning, frequency, service types
and so on," he explains.
"A good GSE preventative maintenance
program should track several items. The
most important thing is tracking the interval between PM services," adds Tom Kor,
national manager at Global Aviation Services LLC. "This can be tracking by hours
or days, but it should be consistent with the
OEM recommendations for PM cycles."
Officials at Global Aviation Services
LLC, which was recently acquired by aviation services provider PrimeFlight Avia-
tion Services, note PM intervals should be
followed closely to ensure OEM warranties
are valid and to extend the useful life of the
equipment.
It is imperative to use the correct PM
checklist to track maintenance, especially
considering each piece of GSE will have specific PM requirements and safety standards.
"It is important to follow that PM checklist," Kor advises. "This has a direct impact
on the lifespan of the equipment. It is vital
to follow a checklist and ensure each item
is checked, changed and /or adjusted, as
required, so that piece of equipment returns
to service and remains in service.
"Most breakdowns can be prevented by
doing a quality PM check."
Ward notes checklist requirements are
dependent on the individual GSE use. These
are always bound to legal obligations, influenced by industry recommendations, such
