Learjet 40/45 Evolved Maintenance Program Details Savings for: 600 Flight Hours per Year December 17, 2013 Learjet 40/45 Evolved Maintenance Program Overview The evolution of the Learjet 40/45 scheduled maintenance program began in support of creating a world class maintenance program for the Learjet 70/75. The target for the Learjet 70/75 was to reduce the DMC from the Learjet 40/45 by 15% by revamping the scheduled maintenance program. The maintenance program was to be introduced on a revolutionized web based platform called eINSPECTOR. Learjet 40/45 data was collected and analyzed alongside of the redesigned and upgraded systems specific to the Learjet 70/75. The evolution process produced better than expected results by reducing the DMC for scheduled maintenance by 46%. The Learjet 70/75 initiative branched out to revamp the Learjet 40/45 maintenance program. The same savings and platform are now offered to Learjet 40/45 operators. The Learjet 40/45 Evolved Maintenance Program offers customers on average $130 per flight hour DMC reduction, 245 days of increased dispatch availability over the life of the aircraft, and 46% reduction in labor for scheduled maintenance. These benefits are packaged in a convenient online web-based platform branded eINSPECTOR to offer our customers the added convenience of planning and scheduling. Details The Evolved Maintenance Program (EMP) task count compares to the Standard Maintenance Program as follows: Standard Program Current Task Count 300 Hr 12 Month 600 Hr 24 Month 1200 Hr 48 Month 62 67 71 2400 Hr 96 Month 4800 Hr 54 9600 Hr 67 78 Other 132 Evolved Program Servicing 12 Month 600 Hr 36 Month 1200 Hr 72 Month 2400 Hr 108 Month 4800 Hr 10000 Hr Other Zonal New Task Count 36 24 40 14 8 74 224 8 December 17, 2013 Learjet 40/45 Evolved Maintenance Program Aircraft maintenance is expensive. For the average operator, it accounts for approximately 25% of the total operating cost. Furthermore, this does not take into account any lost revenue from maintenance down days or the daily fixed costs incurred regardless of whether or not the aircraft flies. In today’s global economy it is no surprise that customers are paying close attention to maintenance and operating costs instead of just the sticker price. A common phrase says that 50% of maintenance is caused by 50% of maintenance. Reducing touch time on the aircraft prevents additional maintenance events by reducing the wear and tear on the aircraft. Savings The aircraft savings were calculated based on an aircraft at 600 flight hours per year and 60 minute flight lengths. This aircraft has about 3500 Flight Hours and is over 11 years old. The total labor-hour savings over the next 8 years is calculated at 4194 Man-Hours. This savings divided over the 8 year span reflects an average savings of 524 Labor-Hours per year. Based on the same criteria the total Days Down Time is reduced by 131 days. This savings divided over the 8 year span reflects an average savings of over 16 Days Down Time per year. Days Down Time is calculated by Multiplying the laborhours per flight hour by the average utilization. This number is divided by 32 derived from two technicians per shift for two shifts = 1 Day. The following Calculations show the savings of the Evolved Maintenance Program over a 20 year life of the aircraft.. This aircraft’s savings would fall in the years 12-20. These calculations include Routine, Non-Routine, Panel Access, and Interior Access times at an average of 600 flight hours per year with a 60 minute flight length. APU Rates based on a utilization of 0.50 APU hours per flight hour. Only Labor Hours and Days Down Time were calculated. This does not include Material Cost Savings. All numbers were rounded to the nearest whole number. Return on Investment Based on where this aircraft is in its life-cycle and a labor rate of $112 USD per labor hour, the average savings is $58,716 per year. At the Service Bulletin price of $70,000, it would take a little over a year to pay for itself. The value of aircraft availability can only be determined for each individual operator. What is the value of over 16 additional days of uptime each year? The Learjet 45 was analyzed to compare the scheduled maintenance breakdown of the Standard Maintenance Program to the Evolved Maintenance Program. Details of this comparison are as follows: This comparison includes major inspections or servicing checks. It does not include special inspections, replacement items, RVSM inspections or other inspection requirements issued by ADs, STC’s, Repairs or other aircraft specific requirements. If you decide to join us in this best in class Scheduled Maintenance Program, please fill out the attached request form for each aircraft and submit to [email protected] with Purchase Order information. Please note that the information provided will be used to determine what scheduled maintenance tasks must be performed to transition your aircraft onto the new program. A bridging document will be created and provided to you detailing each aircraft’s transition requirements. Also, all Service Bulletins listed on the request form are not mandatory to transition onto the new program. This information will assist us in determining the status of the aircraft and provide opportunities for us to further enhance this program in the future.
