StandardAero launches new engine performance mobile application
StandardAero, a maintenance, repair and overhaul provider based in Scottsdale, Arizona has completed development of its StandardAero PowerCheck mobile application, designed to provide easy calculation of engine performance based on Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) power assurance charts for Rolls-Royce M250 engine operators worldwide.
The original StandardAero PowerCheck computer-based platform was launched in the 1990’s to better facilitate power assurance checks by eliminating the need to manually plot parameters on paper graphs provided in the airframe manuals. The newly designed application builds on the success of that program and now uses current mobile technology to provide a more user-friendly, easily accessible interface.
The internal development of the new mobile application began in early 2017, and StandardAero identified launch customers to test the new design, providing valuable input to drive the application’s improved usefulness.
“Engaging in our customers’ operations to understand their needs, then developing solutions that meet those needs and improve their business has always been a goal for us,” said Manny Atwal, Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Business Development for Commercial Helicopter Services at StandardAero. “We are pleased to offer this new technology to operators, and we look forward to further enhancing the application’s features to continue meeting our customers’ evolving needs.”
Using the simplified mobile application, the pilot selects their airframe and engine type from a drop-down style menu, and then inputs basic parameter information to calculate the engine’s performance margin. Once calculated, power check results can easily be stored and tracked within the application, making performance data readily available to maintenance personnel. As an additional feature, StandardAero can review the saved data for the fleet and provide proactive recommendations to the operator based on indicated performance metrics.
