Engineering Services
Cost benefit analysis
- Examines costs to allow decisions to be made based on Life Cycle Costing techniques such as Discount Rates and Net Present Values
- Allows informed decisions to be made that will improve aircraft availability at minimum cost
- Evaluates whether to replace unreliable equipment, when to replace equipment and whether an upgrade is the most effective solution
Technical publication management
- Tailored management of complete publication sets
- Publications are configuration controlled and updated with stand-alone supplements to cover amendments
- Co-ordination with Lockheed Martin for the supplements to be incorporated into manuals when required
Repair solutions
- Repairs Centre of Excellence that will develop non-standard structural repairs outside the Structural Repair Manual
- Repair solutions are designed, substained and certified for aircraft structure, parts, components and equipment
- Fully approved Lockheed Martin Hercules Service Centre at Cambridge facility
24hr technical support hotline
- Expansive knowledge and exisiting approved data built up from over 50 years of supporting many C-130 operators around the world
- Ability to react and support the full scale of technical issues that may arise in providing support solutions to ensure aircraft availability meets operational demands

- Scheduled maintenance plans and reactive unscheduled maintenance plans in place
Continued airworthiness management
- Independently ensures that the interpretation and incorporation of the airworthiness regulatory framework is adhered to and maintained Type certification airworthiness standard is maintained throughout aircraft operational life Establishes a bespoke information system for incident, corrective and preventative actions
Reliability centered maintenance
- Analytical methodology will provide recommendations to enable the continuous review and update of aircraft master maintenance schedules and associated publications
- Regulatory compliance ensures aircraft maintenance programmes are optimised
Spares optimisation
- Analysis of stock levels and location of spares to identify any shortfalls that will have a negative effect on aircraft availability
- Cost optimised solutions are calculated that provide the greatest increase in availability at minimum cost
Obsolescence management
- Obsolescence Management Programmes plan monitors and analyses risks
- Supportability solutions will ensure equipment downtime due to obsolescence is minimised and aircraft availability is maximised
