Airline/Maintenance/Regulation panel discussions

held at IVHM and SHM committee meeting

IVHM: A new technological paradigm

SAE Internationals HM-1 Integrated Vehicle Health Management and G-11SHM

Structural Health Monitoring and Management committees held a special panel session
featuring representatives from airlines, maintenance organizations and regulatory agencies at
their March meeting at the Lufthansa Aviation Center, at Frankfurt Airport. The panels featured
representatives from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), UK Military Aviation Authority
(MAA), TAP Portugal, Lufthansa Technik, and All Nippon Airways.

The aims of Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) include improved safety through the use
of diagnostics and prognostics to fix faults before they are an issue, as well as improved availability of
fleets through better maintenance scheduling.

SAE has dedicated technical committees and panels that are developing recommended practices
and standards for propulsion systems, powerplants, structures, landing gears and other systems, as
well as the integrated vehicle itself.

Today, operatorsi.e., airlinesare moving away from such tasks, concentrating their attention on
profitably running the business of flying. OEMs and suppliers, on the other hand, are taking over the
business of guaranteeing that the planes are ready and able to fly as expected. Thats the new contract:
availability, reliability, deep asset knowledge, and readiness. The cost of ownership is thus kept on budget,
maximizing the potential for bigger margins. The impetus for the IVHM value proposition on the OEM
side is a commercial one the desire to increase or maintain revenue by moving into maintenance, or to
compete in a market that is being eroded by low-cost component suppliers.

Simon Waite and Alastair Healy of EASA, and RAF Squadron Leader Sean Perkins spoke at the
Regulators Panel portion of the meeting. Waite discussed the regulatory approach to structural
integrity in the light of ARP646: Guidelines on Structural Health Monitoring for Aerospace
Applications, a forthcoming recommended practice developed by SAEs G-11SHM committee.
He used examples of standards and regulations for detection and monitoring on rotorcraft and
small fixed wing aircraft, and urged early dialog between SHM (Structural Health Monitoring)
stakeholders and regulators.

Adapted from an article which previously appeared in Aerospace Engineering magazine

In the past, OEMs and suppliers had very little say on how an airplane was used or maintained. That
responsibility fell mostly on the shoulders of the operators. Parts were shipped according to the
requirements and timing of the aircraft owner.

Healey discussed the legacy of vehicle health management for rotorcraft, and noted that the
industry will drive innovation in IVHM which the regulator will address as required. He also noted
the potential for IVHM to support safety, and described how the organization must maintain
an acceptable, pre-defined level of airworthiness and safety through writing certification and
operating requirements, and ensuring compliance with regulators regarding the introduction of new
maintenance practices. EASA is participating in the SAE HM-1 IVHM committee.
Perkins discussed the Military Aircraft Authority (MAA), which has been established to address
airworthiness of military aircraft. Among the MAAs goals, he said, are producing a mixture
of mandated and good guidance materials, establishing maintenance credits, and providing a
regulatory framework that enables evolution. Examples were provided of instances in which fixed
and rotary wing military aircraft currently utilize health monitoring systems
Participants in the End Users Panel were Nuno Goncalves Soares of TAP Maintenance and
Engineering, Olaf Ronsdorf of Lufthansa Technik, and Katsuo Matsuura of ANA. Soares
discussed how the airline has installed an aircraft health monitoring system with the goals of quickly
trouble-shooting in-flight, performing maintenance more quickly, and reducing time on the ground.
He noted that IVHM was important but that NFF (No Fault Found) was a key challenge.
Ronsdorf, the Lufthansa Technik representative on the SAE Aerospace Council,
described how Lufthansa performs Engine Condition Monitoring on 1,520 engines, using their own
or OEM developed algorithms. He discussed the desire for reliable condition based maintenance
(CBM) for aircraft systems which can affect operations to reduce unscheduled groundings and
maintenance and increase aircraft availability. He also noted the need for partnership between the
OEM and the operator in identifying and using data and trending.
Matsuura, ANA Chief Engineer and a member of the SAE Aerospace Council, described
the evolution of aircraft monitoring capabilities and the value to the airline, and noted the increase in
the number of aircraft systems able to provide diagnostic and prognostic information. He discussed
the aspiration for full aircraft health management and the need for increased availability. ARP6461
should pave the way to use SHM as an alternative means of compliance and help enable CBM.
In addition, SHM outputs may be a key factor in the evolution of future, more efficient airframe
designs.
The insights from all panelists were appreciated by the audience and will help drive forward SAE
standardization activities in all aspects of aircraft systems and vehicle health management.

In 2011, the SAE IVHM Steering Group defined IVHM as the unified capability of a system of systems to
assess the current or future state of the member system health, and integrate that picture of system health
within a framework of available resources and operational demand. In November 2010, the SAE committee
HM-1, Integrated Vehicle Health Management was established to develop standards related to IVHM.
The committee is part of SAEs IVHM initiative, which also includes the IVHM Steering Group.
The technology of IVHM enables the collection of information on an objects condition, performance,
and location. It also facilitates the transmission of this information, often from hostile environments
(e.g., inside a jet engine). In the end though, it is how maintainers use this information that will really
make a difference. Although there are quite sophisticated tools both for diagnostics and prognostics,
what will fundamentally matter are the business drivers that the data will be used to support.
IVHM offers organizations options for monitoring of the health of an asset. Decisions can then be
made based on the information that is collected. Primarily, such decisions will enable the maintainer
to better schedule maintenance based on actual performance and condition of an asset (the
airplane itself, or any of its parts) rather than when a component fails or when regular maintenance
is performed. Any event that leads to a plane malfunction in between these two parameters can be
flagged and addressed by consistently applying IVHM.
For passengers flying from New York to London (or anywhere else for that matter), this will be basically
an invisible, behind-the-scenes situation. The good news is that airplanes will depart and arrive when
they are supposed to with no untoward interruptions.

New recommended practice addresses quality and

process improvement
SAE J2886, Design Review Based on Failure Modes (DRBFM), developed by the SAE
Automotive Quality and Process Improvement Committee, was published in March.
This Recommended Practice, the first standard addressing DRBFM, explains the process and its
recommended steps. It includes examples of how to conduct the process and discusses how DRBFM
can fit with activities such as product and process development, validation, production, and change
management. DRBFM has been adopted by both automotive and non-automotive companies.
There is a growing demand for DRBFM information due to the interest of companies from multiple
industries and the expectation of the global supply base to utilize the process as well, said Bill
Haughey, Chairman of the J2886 DRBFM Task Force. Companies tend to use slight
variations of the process, which can cause complexity for suppliers that support multiple companies.
Development of a recommended practice has been supported by users of DRBFM from both
manufactures and suppliers.
J2886 describes the basic principles and processes of DRBFM including planning, preparation,
change point FMEA, design reviews, decisions based on actions completed, and feedback loops to
other processes such as design and validation.
J2886 is intended for use by organizations whose product development processes currently use
Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA) or DRBFM as a tool for assessing the potential risk
and reliability of system elements (product or process) or as part of their product improvement
processes. DRBFM is not intended to replace FMEA; however, companies interested in adopting
DRBFM will benefit from the focus on specific change points and supporting engineering decisions
based on detailed discussions.

support standards development

continued from page 3

SAE is the worlds largest aerospace standards development organization. Its consensus based program is the forum through
which the global industry collaborates on and sets expectations for vehicle reliability, quality, safety, efficiency, and compliance.

From the perspective of the operator, the result is having more planes in the air with a lot fewer
unknowns on the ground (i.e., margin improvement and higher levels of customer satisfaction). It
will not be acceptable for a plane to be delayed at the gate for a cause unknown. The situation
will demand the unequivocal location of a faulty LRU (line replaceable unit), so it can be dealt with,
getting the aircraft back on the runway. It will also require a movement from accurate diagnosis of a
fault, with fault forwarding so that the aircraft can be repaired on the ground, to prognostics where
the necessary repair is known for some time in advance, and maintenance booked when convenient.
The industry is in the midst of the dawn of a new technological paradigm in commercial aviation. In
the next decade or so, the technology behind IVHM will be both an enabler of new processes and a
disruption to old ones, with its value affecting safety, operations, and the financial aspects of the business.
