Shannon
US patent for
GuideU technology
Shannon Aerospace
renamed
Lufthansa Technik Shannon //
The Irish facility operated by
Lufthansa Technik as part of its
European aircraft overhaul network is now called Lufthansa
Technik Shannon. What used to
be Shannon Aerospace (SAL) –
a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Lufthansa Technik – has thus
joined Hamburg, Berlin, Budapest, Malta and Sofia as one of
the six European base maintenance facilities in name as well
as in practice. The change in
name coincides with the 25th
anniversary of the company
which provides services to over
50 airlines and employs a workforce of more than 500.
The renaming of the company,
which is located at Shannon
Airport in western Ireland, is not
yet visible everywhere and will
be implemented step by step
over the coming months.
It will not entail any changes
for customers in their current
contracts, addresses or contact
partners. Lufthansa Technik
Shannon specializes in the
overhaul of short- and mediumrange aircraft. The services
offered include basic overhauls
(D-checks) and annual checks
(C-checks) on the Boeing 737,
757, 767 and the Airbus A320
family of aircraft. //
Floor path marking //
­Lufthansa Technik has received
the US patent for its “silicone
matrix” in GuideU. GuideU is
the progressive development of
Guideline®, Lufthansa Technik’s
non-electrical and therefore
maintenance-free floor path
marking system, which shows
crew and passengers the way
to the aircraft’s emergency exits
in an emergency situation.
In addition to a wider choice of
colors with the same high luminosity, GuideU is lighter than its
predecessor and the profile can
be supplied with any curvature
compared with the formerly
straight profile. GuideU is also
moisture-resistant and flatter as
well as impact- and scratchresistant, which means that it
can be used for both textile
areas and wet areas. Specific
tests were carried out and documented to emphasize and
define the innovations more
clearly in a bid to convince the
US examiners of the inventive
achievement.
“The silicone matrix was a critical invention for successfully
achieving these properties,”
says Wolfgang Sutter, Development Engineer and Product
Manager for GuideU. The special product properties were
therefore finally recognized as
new and inventive by the US
patent office and the patent
granted. //

Lufthansa Technik convinced us
that even a large MRO provider
could customize its services to
the individual needs of an airline
who is building an international
high-frequency operation that
requires a high level reliability
and availability,” said Amir
Nasruddin, Director Aircraft Programs & Procurement of Azul.
Jörg Femerling, Director Sales
South America of Lufthansa
Technik, commented: “I would
like to thank Azul for the trust
they have placed in us. This
contract signature is a large
success for us in the growing
but highly competitive Brazilian
market. As a strong partner we
will offer an optimal component
support to assist Azul.”//
Service provider
for Moog
A350 and 787 // Lufthansa
Technik and Moog Inc.
announced the signing of a
contract making Lufthansa
Technik an authorized service
provider for Moog’s flight control
products on both the Boeing
787 and the Airbus A350 aircraft.
Moog is the original equipment
provider for both primary and
high-lift flight control actuation
systems on the 787 and the
primary flight control actuation
and trailing edge actuation
system on the A350.

role in supporting the 787 for
multiple customers and is preparing for the entry into service
of the A350 for Lufthansa and
other customers. This agreement
allows Lufthansa Technik to
directly offer its customers MRO
services specifically related to
Moog’s 787 and A350 products.
“We are pleased to be working
with Lufthansa Technik on
the 787 and A350,” stated Kate
Schaefer, Moog’s General
Manager of Commercial Aircraft
Services. “We are dedicated to
providing our customers with
unparalleled service and support
and this agreement expands the
service choices available to the
airlines.”//

Lufthansa Technik Connection 2.2015
“Continuously improving
processes and efficiency”
The reorganization of the sales division into three regions is the latest change in Lufthansa Technik’s
corporate history. Wolfgang Weynell, Senior Vice President Corporate Sales & Marketing, explains
how the company’s business has changed in the 20 years since its foundation, how it reacted to
the market and which strengths made Lufthansa Technik the leading MRO provider in the world.
In your view, how has the company
developed over the past two decades
overall?
Wolfgang Weynell: Actually, we have been
doing business with customers other than
Lufthansa since the 1950s – only that we
were still a technical department of Lufthansa
back then. However, the foundation of
Lufthansa Technik and the start of operations as an independent company within
the Lufthansa Group some 20 years ago
marked an important step in that it presented a clear message that we were ready
and willing to take on the external market.
We nearly quadrupled our revenues within
that period and we have continuously
developed our products to best meet the
customer needs within a significantly
changing market.
Can the company’s development be
exemplified by any important figures?
In the mid-1990s, the majority of our revenues – around 70 percent – still came from
business with airlines in the Lufthansa Group.
This has changed significantly. Today, business with external customers accounts for
around 70 percent of the entire Lufthansa
Technik Group’s revenues – bearing in mind
that the MRO market has been growing
continuously overall. We now have for
example some 3,500 aircraft under component support contracts, with about 1,700 of
those being Airbus A320s. And we have
grown from a technical division to a global
group of more than 30 companies in Asia,
the Americas and EUMEA.
What are the drivers that enabled
continuous growth for Lufthansa Technik
over this period?
Continuously improving processes, reducing
costs and increasing efficiency are ongoing
topics for us – and have been from the very
beginning. That is why we’re able to play in
the first league of the MRO market today.
Another thing that has always been important in everything we do is fulfillment. In other
words, when we conclude contracts, we
meet our commitments and always deliver
what we have promised.
And of equal importance is customer proximity, we have moved our sales and customer support teams into the regions to be in the
same time-zone as our customers and to
react on short notice to customer needs.
Is there a product that stands out for
you in the range of services that have
been created or further developed
over the past 20 years?
Besides the continuous improvements of
our core MRO products such as engine
and component support and repair we
have further developed services which are
of direct operational help to our customers.
Our Airline Support Teams (AST®) are a
good example. As early as the 1990s, we
always had mobile repair teams on standby
in Frankfurt that focused on on-wing engine
repairs. These teams made a name for
themselves throughout the industry. Since
then, we have decentralized this topic and
brought it out into the regions.
AST® teams are now not only stationed in
Europe, but also in Asia and North and
South America and we have further developed these services to cover not only
engine repairs but also structural, landing
gear and composite repairs. This allows us
to reach our customers even faster in their
respective time zones – either because
they need urgent help or because they
want to avoid shop visits for their engines
through targeted, planned measures. But
that is just one of many examples.
Another important topic in today’s
MRO industry is IT. What’s Lufthansa
Technik’s position in this area today?
We have established interfaces to all
important MRO IT platforms. No matter
whether a customer uses AMOS, TRAX or
another type of MRO IT to map its technical
operations, we have the right “connector”
for it. Customers don’t need to worry about
how to connect their IT with ours; they get
full transparency over all processes without
having to adapt their IT systems. And not
to forget, our customers also have access
to our own web-based customer platform
manage/m®, which covers all important
aspects of a fleet’s technical operations
and repairs.
What is the current standpoint of
airlines on outsourcing even strongly
integrated MRO support? Did their
view change in comparison to past?
Over the years, we have noticed that airlines are opening up to external providers
and backing away from doing their own
maintenance. While airlines used to do many
things themselves, they are now contracting out whole packages to MRO providers.
A deep mind shift is taking place in this
respect, especially in the Americas. That
requires a great deal of trust, of course.
But I think this is where our strength comes
into play – namely our ability to also provide reliable support for large fleets, even
at short notice. We have proven that time
and again over the past years.
Lufthansa Technik | 7
Lufthansa Technik Connection 2.2015
What is the key to this strength?
In a nutshell, I think it’s the fact that we have
developed the ability of bringing together
data streams. We continuously receive
data from flight operations, and we have
the experience and all the important repair
data from the workshops. By combining
both intelligently, we are able to draw the
right conclusions for optimum maintenance
and to improve reliable operation at optimum cost level. Someone who only deals
with the aircraft production, logistics or only
sells components, for example, doesn’t
have the insight to know what happens to
the components and to draw the proper
conclusion in terms of reliability and cost.
How has the cooperation with manufacturers developed over the years?
We have been able to establish a cooperation based on mutual trust. This allows us
to be on board whenever new products
and technologies are introduced. The topic
of licensing and IP access is one of the
biggest challenges for a manufacturerindependent repair shop. Although OEMs,
including aircraft manufacturers, are becoming increasingly active in the market themselves, we have been able to achieve a lot
as a group and have therefore ensured our
access to repairs, processes and data for
all new aircraft types such as the 787,
A350, CSeries etc.
Lufthansa Technik used to be above
all an engineering company. What
characterizes the company today?
The technologies are the basis. They are
the tools of the trade that need to be mastered, both then and now. So we are still
technologically driven today. But these days
it’s also important to fully understand the
customer’s operation and needs and to be
able to handle the entire process, the logistics chain and everything associated, be it
taxes or customs. We’ve made a lot of progress with these aspects and built up the
necessary resources over the past few years.
Back in the day, products were primarily
available off the shelf. How flexible is
the company now?
Customizing is a very important topic nowadays, no matter whether we’re talking
about contracts or products. For one thing,
we have to be flexible as far as the contract
structure is concerned. This is currently
evident in the talks about the support of
the new A350, where no customer request
is like the other. For another, if we want to
be efficient, we have to know what the
customer wants – even more so than in the
past – and answer questions like “How far
must the services be integrated?” and
“What about the logistics chain and warehousing?” When we deliver something, we
need to know exactly where it falls within
our customers’ processes so that their
operations can run as smoothly as possible.
Within our decentralized new organization
we have also established local pools, local
AOG desks and local support teams to faster and better serve our customers.
Let’s venture a glimpse into the future:
What will Lufthansa Technik look like
in ten years’ time?
I see two important aspects: On the one
hand, Lufthansa Technik will become even
more decentralized and have a greater
local presence. The proximity to and cooperation with customers will continue to
increase. On the other hand, the question
will be who in the industry can master the
new technologies, repair procedures and
processes. And: Who can handle the data
volumes? Data backup and digital archiving
are therefore already important topics for
us today. The MRO products will be more
capital-intensive. As a result, the investment
strength for new products, repair procedures
and above all materials and spare parts will
play a major role.
We have already demonstrated that we’re
willing to make these investments both with
the new aircraft generations and with supporting the life cycle of the popular aircraft
all the way. Our entire network is committed
to helping our company stand out in the
market. And we don’t rest on our laurels.
We have to stay attractive as far as costs
are concerned, continue to be a reliable
partner and never lose sight of our
strengths.

Full throttle take-off for A350 support
Lufthansa Technik has started servicing the A350 XWB with a comprehensive service spectrum.
The first line maintenance checks have been signed off, and technicians are gathering practical
experience with the new aircraft type. Ready for customer service, component support, spare parts
supply as well as engine and APU support are all lined up.
T
he new year is getting off to a good
start: From day one, Lufthansa
Technik is establishing itself as a
strong partner for the new Airbus A350 XWB
which started revenue services in mid-January. As the latest step in this development,
the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
has granted its maintenance approval for
the long-haul jet, just in time for Lufthansa
Technik to provide line maintenance to a
first customer at Frankfurt airport.
All-inclusive offer
The foundation for this has been laid consequently during the last years. In 2011,
Lufthansa Technik became a foundation
member of the A350 Airline Office in Toulouse which brought along the opportunity
to familiarize with details of the A350, its
systems and maintenance procedures
long before the first take-off.
Lufthansa Technik’s A350 customers
will also benefit from the company’s excellent relationships to original equipment
and OEM. Honeywell provides more than
manufacturers. Today, Lufthansa Technik
has MRO agreements in place with all major 40 percent of the components including
the APU, making it by far the biggest and
suppliers of the A350’s systems, allowing
most important OEM for this future aircraft
the company to offer a very broad spectrum
type. Through this cooperation, it is ensured
of customized MRO services to A350

services for the A350 XWB early on. Customers
worldwide, including Lufthansa and its scheduled
fleet of 25 aircraft of this type, will benefit from a farreaching portfolio from day one of operations.

Continued from page 8
In close coordination with the OEM, the
MRO provider will be in charge of engineering and the development of new
repair procedures. This joint optimization
between Lufthansa Technik and Honeywell
has the aim of continuously improving
product quality for the benefit of all customers. Martin Domsch is convinced:
“The partnership with Honeywell provides
Lufthansa Technik with an important selling
point and thus gives us a solid basis for
the A350 aftermarket.”
Trent XWB support
The A350 is offered with only one engine
type, the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB. Lufthansa
Technik and the engine manufacturer have
been cooperating successfully for years,
and this cooperation will also include the
new engine type in future. Bernhard KrügerSprengel, who heads the Engine Services
division at Lufthansa Technik, clarifies:
“We want to overhaul the Trent XWB
together with Rolls-Royce and plan to do
so at our joint venture N3 Engine Overhaul
Services in Arnstadt, Germany.”
Around 800 orders have already been
placed for the Airbus A350, including 25
aircraft that will be used by Lufthansa from
2016. Lufthansa Technik laid the foundation for high-quality services early on. Its
experience with state-of-the-art aircraft
types such as the Airbus A380 and Boeing
787, a thorough analysis of the aircraft’s
technology on all levels and close cooperation with the manufacturers form the basis
of Lufthansa Technik’s comprehensive
expertise. Cooperation agreements with
the OEMs – above all with Honeywell –
enable the company to provide a highly
efficient all-inclusive solution from a single
source for all future A350 operators.

Mission: Reducing Trent 500 MRO costs
Rolls-Royce and Lufthansa Technik are to explore closer cooperation in the technical care of
mature engines. It follows a year-long pilot project intended to reduce the maintenance costs
of mature Trent 500 engines which power Airbus A340-500/600 aircraft.
I
n a pilot project Rolls-Royce’s expertise
as engine manufacturer and Lufthansa
Technik’s experience as one of the
world’s largest engine maintenance providers were combined. The question pursued
was: How can Trent 500 maintenance
costs be reduced through the mature
phase of the life-cycle? The work plays a
significant element of ensuring Rolls-Royce
has the capabilities to introduce TotalCare
Flex®, a concept to address the service
needs of customers with mature-phase
engines, including the Trent 500. Joint
efforts on several Trent 500 engines made
it clear that tangible reductions in costs
were achievable through systematic changes
in workscope, improved use of used material, and optimized processes in the workshops.
“This successful pilot project by RollsRoyce and Lufthansa Technik shows that a
close partnership between a manufacturer
and a maintenance organization offers
advantages for airline customers and for
both partners. Mature engines remain competitive for longer and the costs of operating them can be reduced,” said Bernhard
Krüger-Sprengel, Senior Vice President
Engine Services of Lufthansa Technik. Tom
Palmer, Rolls-Royce, Director of Services,
Civil Large Engines said: “This collaboration with Lufthansa Technik is an important
part of developing our TotalCare Flex®
thinking, giving us further confidence in
our capability to deliver improved mature
engine support to our customers.”
Encouraged by the successful pilot
project and great interest on the side of
customers, the two project partners have
agreed to explore options for longer-term
cooperation, which may expand to include
other engine types.
AERO Alzey increases capability
With Compliance Verification Engineers now on site, Lufthansa Technik AERO Alzey has again
increased its capability. The company was already integrated in Lufthansa Technik’s Design
Organisation (DO) in 2013.
F
ollowing the integration and the
appointment of the Design Engineers, the aim of Lufthansa Technik
AERO Alzey was to establish the position
of Compliance Verification Engineer (CVE)
in Alzey and to assume responsibility for
additional tasks and approval processes
within the Design Assurance System. This
required training for the named Design
Engineers (Mirko Röder, Thomas Moors,
and Friedhelm Breivogel) from PWC, GE
and Repair Engineering with regard to the
Verification Process. Thus all relevant
departments of Lufthansa Technik AERO
Alzey are included in the extended DO process. The Head of Design Department,
Technical Director Thomas Hoffmann, will
continue to be responsible for all Design
and Compliance Verification Engineers in
Alzey. The introduction of the Compliance
Verification Engineer capability at Lufthansa
Technik AERO Alzey was a “Significant
Change” in the Lufthansa Technik Design
Organisation Approval. This had to be
authorised by EASA, and the required audit
was conducted on November 6, 2014.
Dr. Dagmar Elten (DO Quality Manager at
Lufthansa Technik) and Andreas Gherman
(Head of DO at Lufthansa Technik) were in
attendance. The “Significant Change to
Design Organisation System” was officially
approved by EASA on December 2, 2014,
and the new Compliance Verification
Engineers were subsequently named.
Having the Compliance Verification Engineer on site enables Lufthansa Technik
AERO Alzey to respond much faster to customer demands in the future. Throughput
time will also be shorter because the teams
in Alzey can integrate their own developments and repair procedures for engine
maintenance directly at the site.

“We know how to avoid costs”
Over the past 20 years, Lufthansa Technik Engine Services has become the number one provider of
engine maintenance behind the manufacturers. Bernhard Krüger-Sprengel, Senior Vice President
Engine Services, explains the company’s unique selling points and how the division, in times of quickly
changing engine generations, adapted itself to the new dynamics in the market environment.

to offer such a product because our
engineers can predict wear and tear very
accurately. This provides us with the
surgical precision to only overhaul those
components whose value can be recovered
in the EGT margin and the remaining service
life after the maintenance.
Can you give further examples
of innovations?
In addition to the AST® network, we also
have our Cyclean® Engine Wash, which
we sell successfully worldwide. We help
our customers reduce their fuel consumption, which is very good for airlines not
only in terms of costs but also with regard
to environmental regulations.
Then we also have cooperations with
engine manufacturers, where we jointly
optimize the workscoping and bring
together our know-how from airline operations and the manufacturers’ know-how.
And parts repairs with state-of-the-art
welding techniques or automated inspections are naturally also among the innovations that help us prepare for the technological challenges of the future. These are
a unique selling point of Lufthansa Technik.
What are the benefits of Lufthansa
Technik’s direct connection to airline
operations?
Our connection to airline operations is an
enabler in two respects. First, it allows us
to move into new engine types via licenses.
And second, our daily work enables us
to continuously collect data and information
on engine wear and tear. The data flows
Engine Services | 13
Lufthansa Technik Connection 2.2015
from the Maintenance Division to the Overhaul Division, where it is incorporated in
overhauls across all engine types. Generating information from this treasure trove
of data and then using the information for
overhauls is something we excel in.
What’s the significance of the cooperation with engine manufacturers?
I think there’s no way of getting around
that. When airlines purchase an aircraft
nowadays, they sign a contract with the
engine manufacturer for twelve or more
years. But the reality of the situation is that
the manufacturers don’t do all the work
themselves. That’s why we want to be the
partner who fulfills the contract for the air-
line in its day-to-day business – because
we’re good at that and can provide added
value in a targeted manner.
What will be Lufthansa Technik Engine
Services’ key to success in the future?
For one thing, there’s the previously mentioned transition to long-term contracts
between airlines and manufacturers.
We’ve completely reorganized ourselves
to accommodate that. We’re trying to get
on board for this revolution and are sure
that we’ll manage to ride the crest of the
wave. The second topic deals with a kind
of digital revolution. We need to create
value for ourselves in the system. And this
value is our knowledge of parameters and
engines. We know the individual parts and
what the life cycle of an engine component
is like. We have to continue to expand this
wealth of information because that is our
guarantee for all future developments.
And how do you foresee the market
environment in the future?
We will keep our focus on the needs of airlines, our most valued customers. However,
in parallel we will build up capabilities to
serve the needs of manufacturer-contracted
engine services. I believe we are in a good
position to deliver value to both. And in this
constellation, too, it will be crucial to offer
the right price-performance ratio and innovative products.
14 | Aircraft Modification
Lufthansa Technik Connection 2.2015
Upgrade to the future
Lufthansa Technik has restructured its Aircraft Modification business unit for commercial aircraft
and positioned itself as a partner of choice for all modification and upgrade requirements, from the
cabin and cockpit through to IFE and connectivity. Whether an upgrade of leased aircraft fleets or
the roll-out of a new in-flight product for an entire fleet.
N
ew aircraft generations, new airframe
structures, more efficient engines
and aircraft systems: Technologies
in aviation have been undergoing a rapid
process of change for several years now.
In order to meet customer demands and to
stay ahead in today’s highly competitive
airline industry, high-density cabin layouts
are rapidly developed along with new and
improved on-board infotainment systems.
Consequently, both airlines and OEMs are
under increasing pressure to introduce
new technologies in the shortest possible
time-to-market.
Having supported the fleet upgrades
of the Lufthansa Group and international
customers for decades – most recently the
German flag carrier’s intercontinental fleet’s
new first and business class – Lufthansa
Technik knows first-hand that passengers
love airlines for what they offer them. And
from experience, it doesn’t always take
a new fleet to offer passengers a state-ofthe-art cabin product.
The one-stop shop
Lufthansa Technik recently restructured its
expertise in the area of aircraft modification
to improve its visibility and responsiveness
in all respects for its customers as a onestop shop. The Aircraft Modification business unit provides one-stop support for
the entire process involved in any a modification program, covering areas such as
Cabin & Structures, Cockpit Modification
and Inflight Communication & Entertainment (see info box on page 15).
Right at that early stage when an airline
is initially considering a fleet modification,
it pays to call on the experience of Lufthansa
Technik. The aircraft modification specialists can help analyze the most suitable
options – whether simply adjustment of the
seat pitch, a major change in the cabin
layout, including relocation of galleys and
lavatories, or whether an airline wants to
improve the passengers’ in-flight experience by offering the latest connectivity
solutions.
Connectivity for narrowbody aircraft
Thanks to its experience installing onboard Internet – Lufthansa Technik played
a pioneering role at the time with the current FlyNet portal on Lufthansa’s long-haul
fleet – Aircraft Modification is currently the
partner of choice especially when it comes
to bringing connectivity onboard of narrowbody jets. Partnering with Lufthansa Systems
and their BordConnect system, the company is optimally positioned to meet the
rapidly increasing demand for wireless
Internet connections on short- and mediumhaul flights also.
Lufthansa Technik can lay claim to
some thirty Row 44 (now Global Eagle
Entertainment) on-board WiFi installations
for Norwegian Air Shuttle as proof of its
knowhow. Not only that, but specialists
from Lufthansa Technik Budapest also
supported Thai carrier Nok Air last year
with the first installation of this kind. A team
of two engineers provided assistance during
the critical work phase at Boeing Shanghai
Aviation Services. Likewise in 2014, Lufthansa Technik successfully implemented
the first of several planned ISPS (Inseat
Power System) provisions for broadband
Internet installations in Boeing 737NG for
UTair, the third largest Russian airline.

From retrofit
to refurbishment
The combination of strong engineering capability coupled with a
global production network enables
Lufthansa Technik to support customers in developing an optimized
solution to match their specific
modification requirements for the
entire aircraft – ranging from cabin
and cockpit modifications to IFE/
communication system installations.
Inflight Communication and
Entertainment
Lufthansa Technik is the first point
of contact for cabin and passenger
communication systems. In addition
to design consulting and integration
of highly customized equipment, we
offer tailored IFE and communication
products.
Cockpit Modification
Lufthansa Technik’s core competence includes designs for mandatory changes, system upgrades,
new system integrations and customized solutions from electronic
flight bag (EFB) to controller pilot
datalink (CPDLC) capabilities.
Cabin and Structures
Our wide-ranging cabin and airframe
modification services include development and certification of new cabin
concepts and seat layouts as well as
optimization of specific areas and
complex structural modifications,
such as the integration of the latest
large antennae.
16 | Aircraft Modification
Lufthansa Technik Connection 2.2015
Refresh your cabin
When circumstances prevent an operator
from simply ordering the latest equipment
from the main aircraft manufacturers, it is
well worth considering the option of refreshing existing assets. Taking account of budgetary and certification limitations, a wellorchestrated modification will give any aged
cabin that modern look, feel and functionality crucial to improving the passenger
inflight experience. Lufthansa Technik’s
approach to cabin modernization focuses
on four pillars.
1. Configuration
Experience shows that replacing older seats
with new, lighter ones – possibly combined
with a new IFE system even on narrowbody
aircraft and an inseat power supply (ISPS) –
is a great starting point for instantly increasing your passengers’ inflight experience.
Another option is to consider replacing
seat covers or cushions to give a cabin a
complete new fresh appearance.
2. Cabin Appearance
With careful analysis of reality versus expectation, a change of carpets, décor panels
in galleys and lavatories, sidewalls, bin
doors, partitions and stowage can make
the significant difference when it comes to
offering a new attractive product to flying
customers and to regain a top position in
the respective airline customer’s region.
A care-free package
With mixed fleets in particular or even fleets
of the same type but different configurations,
even planning a modification program can
be a complex challenge of barely comprehensible proportions. With Lufthansa Technik
in charge of the project however, modifications become much less daunting – regardless of the complexity. Aircraft Modification
delivers an all-round care-free package,
integrating all aspects from planning,
supplier definition and approval processes
(EASA/FAA-compliant STCs) through to
material production and provision, logistics
and on-time implementation.
The MRO provider can therefore reduce
the entire process and above all the lead
time of a project to the bare essentials and
thus optimize the chain from initial technical
coordination meetings, to design phase,
certification and tests through to implementation of the modification. What is
important for the customer in this respect,
for example, is that Lufthansa Technik
identifies potential stumbling blocks very
early thanks to its profound engineering
expertise. Unnecessary and tedious
delays, for example as a result of termination of a supplemental type certificate
application, are therefore prevented.
Benefitting from its own Office of Airwor-
Aircraft Modification | 17
Lufthansa Technik Connection 2.2015
Lufthansa Technik can handle cabin modification projects of any size.
This was proven, for example, in the modification of the entire Lufthansa
narrowbody fleet only a few years ago: More than 32,000 seats were
installed in 180 aircraft among other interior updates.
3. Color Light Solutions
Modern lighting solutions using multicolor LED technologies allow airlines
to use light as an important design
element inside their cabins, putting
passengers in the right mood during
the time aboard. Moreover, modern
light units become lighter, require less
maintenance and maintain the same
colors over an extended life cycle.
4. Connectivity
The demand for airborne wireless
Internet service is rapidly becoming
a standard not only on long-haul but
also on narrowbody fleets. Whilst
brand new aircraft carry these systems
as standard, Lufthansa Technik has
proven that it is possible to upgrade an
existing fleet with a modern solution. //

modification
thiness, Lufthansa Technik can play its
part when it comes to approvals in minimizing time-to-market for a new cabin
product thanks to its excellent relationship
with EASA.
A trendsetter for the industry
Lufthansa Technik is taking on a leading
role in the market with the reorganization
of its Aircraft Modification business unit.
Whether new connectivity products, such
as BoardConnect, or large Internet antennae for narrowbody aircraft, the installation
of crew rests, integration of on-board
medical care facilities (Lufthansa Technik’s
Patient Transport Unit, PTU) introduction of
new classes like premium economy or
version change from three to two classes:
Lufthansa Technik is the only provider an
airline needs for all aspects of an aircraft
modification project – from planning and
engineering to logistics and installation –
at a location close to the customer. And
the modification projects can be optimally
synchronized with a line or base maintenance layover in the global Lufthansa
Technik network.

The purpose of the sub-project “AutoPro+” is to evaluate the potential of future
automation solutions at Lufthansa Technik
by determining the greatest benefits and
the possible route to further automation
of the processes. The results will then
serve as a reliable basis for the evaluation
of future automation projects. Partners
in this sub-project are the “Zentrum für
Angewandte Luftfahrtforschung” (Center
for Applied Aviation Research), which is
also the coordinator for the overall AutoPro project, Lufthansa Technik, and the
Hamburg University of Applied Sciences.
I
n industrial processes, robots provide
support for workers while ensuring consistent top quality with high levels of
productivity. The objective of the Auto-Pro
project, running from March 2014 to February 2016, is to generate efficient automation solutions and promote the exchange
of expertise among the project partners in
the city of Hamburg. Divided into three
complementary sub-projects differing in
terms of their concepts and their technologies, each project is carried out by different project partners. The city of Hamburg
supports the overall Auto-Pro project and
its sub-projects through the LuFo program
operated by its Department for Economic
Affairs, Transport and Innovation.
Route to automation
In the “Auto-Pro I” sub-project run by
Lufthansa Technik and the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg, the “MORFI”
robot demonstrator is to undergo further
refinement. To this end, maintenance and
overhaul processes for commercial aircraft
were analyzed and evaluated with the
objective of ascertaining how well they
could be automated using a mobile robot.
In addition, a customized navigation
system was developed for aircraft-independent positioning.
Also, alternative robot concepts were
conceived using the results of the process

Lufthansa Technik has made considerable
progress in process automation in many
fields over the recent years. For example,
in the “Laser CWR Wear-Resistant Coating” project, an automated process was
developed for the repair of modern 3D
high-pressure compressor blades, resulting in longer service life and significantly
higher engine efficiency.
The “Auto-Pro+” sub-project is to provide a comprehensive overview of the
technology landscape at Lufthansa Technik.
The objective is to obtain assessable
parameters that can be used as decisionmaking criteria in implementation projects
and supplied to automation processes.
Subsequently, implementation projects are
to be launched with the goal of increasing
process efficiency by double-digit percentages and making a material contribution
to achieving Lufthansa Technik’s savings
targets. Specific benefits of the sub-project
include quality improvements and harmonization, standardization of repair processes, shorter response times, increased
productivity, reduced inventories and better
utilization of scheduled ground time.

solutions, Lufthansa Technik is the market
leader in VIP and executive jet solutions in
Asia and Greater China.
● Regional Sales Offices
● Lufthansa Technik Subsidiary
● Lufthansa Line Maintenance Stations
● Cyclean® Customer Lease Station
T
he aviation industry in Asia and particularly Greater China is among the
most dynamic markets in the world.
This applies not just to commercial aviation, but also to the market for private,
governmental and special mission aircraft.
Over the last few years, Lufthansa Technik
has been able to position itself as the
leading provider of aircraft completions for
Airbus and Boeing aircraft in the region.
“Understanding the needs and requirements of this market and our customers
is the key to our success. We’ve been
successful here for years and have a dedicated sales team on site in the region,”
explains Jan Grube, Lufthansa Technik’s
Sales Director Asia for VIP & Special
Mission Aircraft. The company’s two
completion centers in North America
(Tulsa, Oklahoma) and Europe (Hamburg,
Germany) ensure that customers can take
advantage of a wide variety of completion
solutions.
1. VIP Quick Change Kit
Cost-effective, fast, and above all extremely
versatile: the idea behind Lufthansa Technik’s
VIP Quick Change Kit is to support operators
of commercial aircraft who periodically carry
out VIP flights or use their flying assets for
heads of state. The VIP Quick Change Kit
was developed to be used in a completely
flexible fashion at the customer’s own
discretion. Lufthansa Technik designs and
implements a one-time modification and
provides the operator with an individual
conversion kit and all the material any Part
145 maintenance crew needs to install it.
The operator can then convert the aircraft
into a VIP aircraft for as long as needed
and subsequently return the cabin to its
previous configuration.
2. Executive Shuttle concept
Lufthansa Technik’s Executive Shuttle
concept for aircraft of the Airbus A320 and
Boeing 737 families was introduced in 2014
and has proven to be particularly popular
with customers in Asia and Greater China –
from corporations to casino operators. It
offers a large variety of affordable cabin
designs for executive shuttle services. For
this application, Lufthansa Technik’s Creative
Design department has developed around
20 different cabin layouts for both aircraft
families, ranging from an all-business/first
class configuration to more sophisticated
versions with sleeping options, meeting
and dining areas, or private rooms.
Executive Shuttles are based on preowned A320 or 737 aircraft and make partial use of refurbished existing airline cabin
interiors. The result enables customers to
offer special guests an exclusive on-board
ambience without exceeding appropriate
budgetary limits.

Technical support from a global group
Operators in Asia – and beyond – can also
rely on a regional and global technical
support network when operating their
­flying assets. The company is represented
in the region by several subsidiaries and
affiliates: Lufthansa Technik Philippines in
Manila, Ameco Beijing in China as well as
Lufthansa Technik Shenzhen which has
recently multiplied its component workshop capabilities and also houses a new
Logistic Service Center that greatly simplifies and speeds up material supply and
customs procedures. With its specialized
MRO logistics and its mobile on-site and
on-wing solutions, Lufthansa Technik
always ensures the right support when
unplanned maintenance events occur,
from AOGs to engine changes.
And last but definitely not least: Lufthansa
Technik’s regional and local presence in
Asia means that the company is very
familiar with all regulatory requirements in
the region and has already received various approvals by local aviation authorities.
Lufthansa Technik’s VIP and executive jet
customers in Asia are looked after by a
dedicated sales team from the company’s
offices in Germany and Asia.

government, the A310-304 VIP 10+21
“Konrad Adenauer”, including some 1,300
modifications to the structure, electrics and
various systems. What was distinctive here
in operational terms was that the aircraft
was operated under a military license by
the German Air Force.
Fatigue requirements
When the old cabin was removed in fall 2014,
there was also no further need for its attachment to the aircraft structure. However,
because various frames and other
structural elements were weak-
ened by the VIP installation, the situation
that faced Jörg Paisen, Project Manager for
the conversion at Lufthansa Technik, was
somewhat unexpected: “Not only the conversion back to a defined zero state for the
modification envisaged by Novespace, rather
also proof of the fatigue strength of the
structure for future use for all parts affected
by the modification had to be proven to the
authorities. The latest fatigue regulations
therefore had to be taken into account.”
Repairs were required for all fatigue-critical
areas, which also had to be verified by means
of calculation. Fulfilling these requirements
involved hundreds of individual repairs, with
new calculated proof required additionally
for some 90 of these. The unplanned additional time this entailed prolonged the layover
period considerably.
The schedule was back on track at the
beginning of February 2015 and the planned
repairs were carried out extensively. The
final installation then commenced mid-month,
followed by the system tests. Lufthansa
Technik left nothing to chance when it came
to planning and designing the installations.
The various customer requirements were
addressed and implemented meticulously.
The lighting installation in the experimental
section of the aircraft is an excellent example.
According to Jörg Paisen: “We listened
intently to the client and initially constructed
a mock-up of the section to make sure the
client’s requirements were fulfilled precisely.
The test duration for the scientific experiments during one parabola is quite short,
a perfectly uniform illumination level of 800
Lux is required down to the floor, but with
no dazzle under any circumstances.”
Practical experiments were carried out with

various lighting manufacturers to find the
number of required light sources and the
right color temperature and also to
integrate a suitable protection concept.
Because the scientists “fly” through the
cabin and may bump, the lighting system
has to be able to endure this. The final
solution involves an arrangement of nine
light strips per section (total 19 sections)
behind shatterproof plastic.

Each zero gravity phase is preceded and followed
by a hypergravity phase, putting considerable stress on
the aircraft.
Parabolic flights
Parabolic flights with aircraft are the
unique opportunity for scientists
and engineers to perform scientific
experiments and technical tests in
weightlessness by their own hands.
Weightlessness is achieved by special maneuvers piloting the aircraft
upwards about 50 degrees nose-up,
then “free-falling” through a parabolic arch for 22 seconds of weightlessness followed by a ­pull-out with
45 degrees nose down.

Lufthansa Technik Connection 2.2015
Controlled gas exit
Some scientific experiments produce
exhaust gases. Therefore, a dumping system to the outside of the plane has to be
installed to prevent exhausting gases into
the cabin. The window panes were replaced
by window plugs at four positions for this
purpose. These maintain the cabin pressure
and are fitted with a pressure feed-through
that withstands a differential pressure of
5 tons/m². The gases can be expelled in
a controlled manner into the surrounding
atmosphere by means of an adapter and
an intermediate valve.
Special impact resistance
During the parabolic flight maneuvers the
aircraft experiences different acceleration
phases such as hypergravity and weightlessness. To prevent people on board to
be hurt when moving against the cabin
walls soft padding has to be mounted in
the experimental section of the fuselage.
These are based on standard versions
from commercial aircraft but are reinforced
by an additional sandwich layer laminated
under vacuum to comply with regulations,
which require that the segments have a
particularly high impact and tensile strength.
The impact-absorbing layer is then finally
bonded onto this.
Cockpit modification
Special instruments are installed in the
cockpit to enable flights with reduced or
zero gravity – the standard instruments do
not allow adequate resolution of velocity,
acceleration and angle of attack. A French
specialist is supplying certified components
in this case and Lufthansa Technik is
supporting and executing the installation.
The system is designed to allow different
planetary gravity scenarios to be tested in
flight. Therefore the Airbus 310 ZERO-G
will be the only parabolic aircraft in the
world to allow such precise maneuvers
with different acceleration values and
high-quality scientific experiments.
Last but not least: The removal of some
200 seats reduced the weight considerably and meant that the aircraft’s center of
gravity was displaced to the rear. To counterbalance this, a high power rack installed
to provide electrical energy for the experiments was constructed in an excessively
solid design. Weighing 500 kg, the rack
ensures an acceptable center of gravity
position, which can also be finely adjusted
by means of an additional ballast pallet,
with a capacity of maximum 2,000 kg,
carrying individual 80 kg plates. Special
heavy-duty adapters were integrated in the
cabin floor for installing the instrument
racks, which can bear the concentrated
loads of potential laboratory equipment, etc.
Jörg Paisen is in no doubt: “We listened
intently to the client and are confident the
solution fits the client’s needs precisely. I
am certain we are delivering a product in
which the researchers will really feel safe.”
Delivery of the modified aircraft is planned
for end of March 2015. At the end of April/
beginning of May the German Aerospace
Center DLR, French Space Agency CNES
and the European Space Agency ESA will
organize the first scientific parabolic flight
campaign with this very unique Airbus
A310 ZERO-G from its new home base
Bordeaux-Mérignac in France. Five more
scientific missions will follow in 2015 as well
as several flights for paying passengers
seeking to experience weightlessness.

New manage/m® function
Thailand’s Nok Air personnel was introduced to the new Customer Work Instruction function
of manage/m®. Nok Air will be the first customer to use this advanced element.
Nok Air maintenance specialists,
shown together with the trainers,
were introduced to the new
manage/m® function.
For more information: www.manage-m.com
T
hailand’s budget airline Nok Air, a
Total Technical Support (TTS®) customer of Lufthansa Technik, has been
successfully growing at a fast pace over the
recent years. The carrier currently operates
18 737NG aircraft, two ATR 72, and recently
acquired four Q400s, all of which are managed within the Technical Operations WebSuite manage/m®. As a result of the growth,
more personnel is required to manage the
increasing workload. The customer uses
manage/m® to a full extent to manage his
maintenance operations and fulfill his role
as an operator towards the authorities.
In order to use the WebSuite in the best
way possible, the new Nok Air staff was
given the opportunity to participate in a
phase-in training by manage/m® product
manager Michael Weidemann on-site in
Bangkok. Weidemann gave the staff an
insight into the process world of Lufthansa
Technik, showed how it fits together with
Nok Air’s operational requirements, and
how it is reflected in manage/m®. Together
with Total Operations Management (TOM)
fleet manager Cengiz Armutlu he trained
the participants on how to use the system,
for example make entries and retrieve
information. The trained Nok Air staff is
primarily working in engineering, quality
management and planning. Thus, all functions covering the respective maintenance
aspects were covered.
The training participants enjoyed the
­in-depth insight into the new functions and
features within manage/m®. Especially the
new Customer Work Instruction (CWI)
impressed the Nok Air staff. This function
allows customers to additionally create
individual job cards for tasks not handled
within the Lufthansa Technik contract.
“Cengiz Armutlu and I gave a detailed
instruction of how this feature could be
used in accordance with Nok Air’s specific
processes and necessities,” explains
Weidemann. Many customers are currently
interested in using the CWI function, Nok
Air will eventually be the first one to employ
it. For this purpose the customer will set up
a separate project in which he synchronizes the CWI with his processes. “Nok Air
emphasized that the CWI function is a clear
sign that manage/m® continues to develop
into the right direction,” says Weidemann.

When something new arrives,
we make sure it departs.
We welcome the new A350.
Our extensive, flexible portfolio of MRO products
covers the A350’s entire life cycle, focusing in
particular on the management of its IT systems, since
in the future aircraft and their maintenance systems
will be more strongly networked than ever before.
That’s how we’ll ensure that right from the first
delivery, our customers’ A350s are always flying.
