3 Integrated Maintenance Tracking and Engine Health Monitoring For External Distribution With this release of the CAMP Maintenance application, CAMP has created an integrated system that allows aircraft operators to access their aircraft engines trend and health information alongside their aircraft s maintenance information. This is a significant extension of the CAMP Maintenance Tracking application and provides you direct access to your engine health status as well as detailed engine performance, fault code and oil 1 analysis. You also have the ability to upload your engine data files directly through the application. Finally, it provides a means by which you can subscribe to receive a variety of engine related alerts and also interact with your EHM analyst through the system as actionable recommendations are generated and corrective actions are taken. Aircraft Home Screen Let s begin with what you as the customer will see when first logging into the system. The CAMP MTX application will always initially place you on the Aircraft Home screen of your aircraft or of the first aircraft listed within your fleet when you are operating more than one. It is this screen that clearly presents the engine health state for each installed engine within the newly developed Engine Trend Status panel as indicated within the image above. This panel is being placed in the position of the Program Changes panel on the right side of the screen which in turn has been repositioned at the bottom of the screen alongside the Calendar tab for all EHM designated aircraft. This new panel serves to present you with your critical engine health information for each installed engine through the implementation of colored icons which can range from green through red based on what is taking place on each engine at that point in time. The colored status indicator represents the state of well-being of the engine at the moment in time that the screen is opened. It is based upon the EHM analyst s interpretation of the recorded operating parameters of the engine as defined by the engine manufacturer. The green state is the most desirable and will be the most common as it is a positive affirmation that everything is normal with the engine. If there is a situation detected by the analyst where any single engine parameter, or combination of parameters, begins to deviate away from the designated baseline, the green state will likely be changed as defined by the guidelines established by the engine manufacturer. This is simply a warning state which will be issued in conjunction with a recommended corrective action by your EHM analyst consistent with the OEM Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA). All EHM recommendations that are made in conjunction with state changes are designed to mitigate the exceedances before they actually become costly problems. When the corresponding corrective actions do not produce the desired effect of drawing the engine back into its designed baseline configuration, the warning states will likely be maintained to require additional actions. The current state is reflected through the Engine Trend Status panel on the Aircraft Home screen for each EHM participating aircraft. 1 See Appendix 2 for details 2

4 Engine Trend Status Screen For External Distribution While the view on the Aircraft Home screen is useful, it provides little more than the current state of each engine. When there is a state degradation, you will be obligated to select the engine to open a new tab dedicated to presenting all of the in-depth EHM information referred to as the Engine Status view. With the Engine Status screen open the options of reviewing and taking action on your analyst recommendations are made available as well as monitoring the results of the engine s oil analysis program and the ability to review any recorded exceedances for the engine. Each is addressed through sub-tabs on the screen respectively titled Trend Status, SOAP 2 and Fault Code. Access to each OEM Manufacturers Troubleshooting Portal 3 is made by selecting the link in the upper right corner of the screen. Responding to a Trend Alert As soon as you drill into the engine and land on the Trend Status sub-tab you are provided with immediate access to the corrective action recommendations as generated by the EHM Analyst. Here you are presented with a listing of all required actions as determined by the EHM analysts in addition to the history of actions that you have taken and pushed back to them as well. The page also lists the analyst s historic acknowledgements of the actions taken throughout the operational life of the engine. The view that will most likely be frequently visited on this page will be the Action Required view. This is where you will come to access the analysts recommendations and the manufacturers troubleshooting portal so that you may take the necessary actions to bring the engine back into conformity. When completed the expectation is that you will respond through the system using the Trend Response feature which will communicate the actions that you have taken. 2 See Appendix 2 for details 3 See Appendix 2 for details 3

5 Higher on the Trend Status sub-tab, you have access to the same chart data that the EHM analyst actively reviews via the Plot hyperlink. This opens a second parallel tab that will provide you with a view into the data that has been trended over time. 4

6 Fault Code Tab Back on the Engine Status screen positioned to the right of the Trend Status tab is another sub-tab that can be directly related to the recommendations as provided by the EHM analyst. It is referred to as the Fault Code view and it lists all of the historic exceedances as recorded by your engine hardware. The screen sorts by upload date and provides a brief description of the nature of the fault detected Severity status for Fault Codes is only available for Honeywell engines. 5 Fault Codes status only affect the overall status for Honeywell TFE731 engine models. 5

7 Fleet EHM Status Screen While the information at the aircraft adequately presents you with your EHM status information for the individual aircraft, the Fleet EHM Status screen is available to view multiple aircraft at the same time when you operate a fleet of any material size. The Fleet EHM Status screen is available as a node within the Fleet section of the Left Navigation panel and summarizes your engine trending information for all of the EHM designated aircraft contained within the fleet. It provides a listing of the aircraft and their engine states in addition to the historic trend recommendations. The data on this screen is presented by a series of numbers which drive detailed views of the aircraft within the lower h a l f of the screen. These numeric values represent the worst case scenario for each aircraft of the indicated model type. For instance if a particular model is presenting the value of 2 under the red icon at the top of the screen, it means that there are two aircraft with at least one installed engine in a red state. On the same aircraft if there is another engine that is green, this will not be presented at all within the top portion of the screen as the aircraft is already accounted for through the engine that has been determined to be in the critical red state. As can be easily seen, it is important to note that this area is dedicated strictly to aircraft counts. Therefore in the image as provided, we can see that there are two Hawker 750/800XP/850XP /900XP aircraft in the fleet which have two engines in the red state and one in the green as projected via the lower part of the screen. In the top left we see that the model type is listed with only a 2 count under the red column indicator. This is correct as there is only two aircraft in the fleet and these two aircraft have one-or-more engines that are in a critical red state. Since the fleet level screen is primarily intended to provide only an overview, more detailed information on any engine is realized only by selecting the engine serials as displayed within the lower panel. When accessed in this manner the Trend Status tab for the engine will be opened allowing you to research the data driving that engine while at the same time maintaining the fleet view. 6

8 Access to Engine Trend Reviews For External Distribution Engine Health Monitoring folder The Engine Health Monitoring folder will allow the user to review the EHM status of the aircraft each time the engines are reviewed by the analyst. A new report will be generated and stored for the individual aircraft each time a review is conducted, providing the user with a historical log of the health of the engines. a. The user can also download, save, and print any of the EHM Reports stored in the Documents Folder. b. To access the EHM Review log click on Documents > Engine Health Monitoring > Review Log > select desired report to open. 7

9 Submitting EHM data For External Distribution The system permits EHM data submittals in any of three formats 6 to satisfy your needs based upon the configuration of your aircraft. Parameter data may be recorded for your engines manually via your cockpit instrumentation and entered directly into the application or the information can be captured automatically by installed equipment where it will only be necessary to upload a file into CAMP MTX using your laptop. When you manually record your data, you have the option of delivering your completed forms to Trenddata@campsystems.com or you can enter the information into the system using the Cruise Trend feature of the application. By selecting the Cruise Trend node from the left navigation panel the system allows you to directly enter your recordings via a system driven form. Simply enter the information and complete the process by selecting the Submit button at the bottom of the form. If you are configured with automatic data transmission hardware 7, this unit will gather the necessary electronic files and load them to the system without any manual intervention. If you are configured with automated data recording hardware, instead of sending your downloaded files to the EHM analyst, you have the capability to upload the files directly into CAMP MTX using the File Upload feature. To complement the upload there is also a history tab that provides a historic listing of all files uploaded over time. 6 Manually entered data is not available for PW300 series engines. 7 Automatic data transmission hardware (FAST/DTU) are only available for select P&WC engines. 8

10 View Upload History The complete history of the files that were uploaded to the system is also visible at this location. It can be accomplished by clicking on the View Upload History tab. This feature will default with the aircraft registration number pre-populated as well as the last month of data in the range section. It is possible to refine the file search by using the other filter parameters. The file inputted to the system can be downloaded by clicking on the file name. 9

11 Engine Calibration Run and Power Assurance Check 8 For External Distribution The EHM system makes it possible to enter Engine Calibration Run and Power assurance check information directly on the application. The location to do this is found in the Ground Run tab nested in the Submit Trend Data tab. Instantaneous EHM Fleet Summary Reports Users can now generate a report that gives them a quick overview of the EHM status of their fleet. To generate the EHM Fleet Summary Report, click Status under Reports bar > Click Reports Menu > Click EHM Reports > Select EHM Fleet Status Summary > Click go. 8 Engine Calibrations and Power Assurance Checks are only available for PW300 series engines as well as all Honeywell engines. 10

12 EHM Specific Notifications The addition of the EHM integration has also permitted the expansion of the Alert feature within the CAMP MTX application to allow for EHM specific deliveries. The engine trending alert s are controlled through a separate frame located at the bottom of the screen. Administrators can access the feature, select an alert type and assign users to receive one or all of the available types as defined below. 1) Data Receipt Alert This will trigger an to each assigned user as data is received into the system regardless as to the delivery channel or who submitted the entry. 2) Trend Alerts These alerts are delivered each time the status of the engine has been changed. The notification provides you with the necessary details of the status change. 3) Trend Update - To compliment the Data Receipt Alert this alert delivers a message each time the trend data is loaded to the application and processed by the EHM analyst. 4) EHM Fleet Status Report Customers have the means to establish an delivery of an Engine Status Report that will provide a one page view into the state of each engine on the aircraft, the latest comments as provided by the EHM analyst and a summarized plot history of the engines over their life on the EHM program. 5) EHM Fleet Status Summary Recommended for large fleet operators, this report shows the summary of the engine status (by color only) of the entire fleet. 6) EHM Fault Code Alert 9 The Options column forces the user to customize which fault codes they would like to receive the alert for. 7) Deficient Data Alert In development. This report will send a notification to customers who have not provided EHM data within the specified timeframe. 9 This is only available for PW300 series engines. 11

13 Appendix 1 Features Specific to Pratt and Whitney Canada engines For External Distribution ADAS Logs 10 Aircrafts equipped with Aircraft Data Acquisition System monitors will be able to see the monitor recording details using the ADAS Logs tab nested in the Other tab. The basic Information front page gives a broad description of the aircraft details as well as a summary of the Upload Date, Trend Date, Event Date, Eng. Run Date, TSN 11 and Flag Date. Upload Date Clicking on this date brings you to the View Upload History tab with an initial filter of 1 month for this specific engine. See section View Upload History in main body for details. Trend Date Clicking on the Trend Date loads a tab on the Asset Transmission Details section that outlines the raw data that was inputted for a given initial filter of 1 day for that aircraft. Clicking on the Graph Trends button brings you to the regular EHM graph. 10 ADAS Logs are only available for aircraft equipped with PWC Monitors. 11 TSN (Time Since New) is computed by the monitor and may not be the same as the TSN of the engine. 12

14 By scrolling down and going to the rightmost column and clicking on the View tab for Sensor Details, you can see complete details of all the sensors that were captured by the monitor. It will open up a new tab under the Asset Transmission Details called Cruise Trend Event Date Clicking on the Event Date loads all the event information for the most recent date in the Asset Transmission Details section. Clicking on the Plot icon will show the event graph. 13

15 Eng. Run Date Clicking on the Engine Run Date will populate a table in the Asset Transmission Details section outlining the details of the latest engine runs. It pre-populates a list for the last month of data. The ADAS asset name only shows a date for the Upload Date and Flag Date. The Upload date for this asset indicates the last time the ADAS connected to EHM. The Flag Date will show basic details of Flags that have been recorded on the ADAS. These relate to the performance of the monitor and not the performance of the engines. 14

16 DTU Logs 12 For External Distribution The DTU logs page, nested directly above the ADAS Logs, shows the details of the DTU unit itself regarding the installation ID as well as all relevant upload details. P&WC Alert Status Definitions GREEN: Engine trends do not show any issue. BLUE: Gradual trend shift has been detected. Shift is considered normal deterioration therefore no engine troubleshooting required. Alert issued for information purposes only. BROWN: A] Data quality issue has been detected. Recommend instrumentation troubleshooting at next convenient opportunity. B] Unreported maintenance is suspected of causing trend shift. Recommend reporting of recent engine maintenance at next convenient opportunity. YELLOW: Trend shift has been detected. Recommend engine troubleshooting to confirm trend at the next convenient opportunity. RED: Significant trend shift has been detected. Recommend engine troubleshooting at earliest convenient opportunity. 12 DTU Logs are only available for aircraft equipped with this specific PWC Monitor. 15

17 Appendix 2 - Features Specific to Honeywell engines SOAP Analysis Tab The third and final sub-tab that is presented on the Engine Status screen is the SOAP tab. Performing regular oil analysis testing is often an integral part of an engine health monitoring program as determined by the engine manufacturer. Samples are typically taken at scheduled maintenance visits and shipped to manufacture certified laboratories so that they can be analyzed for materials that may be indicative of premature engine wear. The findings are then electronically delivered to CAMP and presented through this tab. This view not only provides access to your historic SOAP data, it also permits you the ability to monitor the samples as they are being processed by the lab. When complete, the results will be posted on the left side of the screen. As the SOAP results are posted a PDF copy of the lab report is also made available via the View Report link positioned to the right of each record. Everything associated with the analysis of the oil sample is readily available through this SOAP sub-tab within the system. 16

18 The OEM troubleshooting portal leads you to the Honeywell Diagnostic Application which begins a session to troubleshoot the issue. If the HDA is accessed from the aircraft landing page, the session will open to the general HDA. If the session is accessed from the Fault Code page, the HDA opens directly to the troubleshooting requirements for that particular fault code. Honeywell Alert Status Definitions GREEN: Engine trends do not show any issue. CYAN: Engine trends show issue(s) related to the indication system, data quality or a possible maintenance action. This status is used for notification purposes only. BROWN: Engine trends show issue(s), related to matters such as the indication system, data quality or a possible maintenance action. A customer action is recommended at the next convenient opportunity. AMBER: Performance advisory recommended by Honeywell. RED: Critical performance alert confirmed by the Honeywell health indicator, requiring immediate attention by the Operator. 17
