Gregg and Saunders will discuss:
The driving factors behind American’s mobile line maintenance program Why American selected the Android platform How American deployed tablets to hundreds of line technicians What the organization expects to achieve through use of tablets equipped with TechSight/X Mobile IETP to create Mobile Knowledge Centers Feedback from mechanics and regulators on the use of tablets for engineers How American is moving toward paperless operations The case study demonstrates how Flatirons Solutions continues to further its mission to help aircraft operators, maintenance, repair, and overhaul organizations (MROs), and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) adopt electronic solutions for aircraft service lifecycle management so they can reduce dependency on paper-based systems.
By managing the entire aviation service lifecycle electronically, the mobile paperless solution for technical publications, job cards, and records management improves labor productivity, increases dispatch rates, reduces heavy maintenance span time, and helps to ensure real-time airworthiness compliance.
