4-1.19 HANGAR VISIT PLAN

INTRODUCTION

Hangar Visit Plan is a year wise plan to forecast and schedule fleet maintenance checks. It gives overview of
all major checks / heavy maintenance to accomplish in the upcoming year. It also specifies the location and
duration of accomplishment of these maintenance activities.

As multiple checks of aircraft may fall simultaneously or closely one after the other, it is mandatory to
schedule the aircraft grounding in such a way that its maximum work done with minimum grounding time.
Furthermore, there are multiple aircraft to be maintained in the small number of maintenance bays. Every
aircraft requires airworthy condition to continue its operation.

Hangar Visit Plan is prepared for the whole year, however, quarterly revisions are issued. In addition, brief
monthly hangar visit plans are also issued.

Hangar Visit Plan is prepared by S&CP and approved by CE (MOC).

PURPOSE

The purpose of this procedure is to describe the development process of Hangar Visit Plan to cater for the
fleet heavy maintenance with the available resources.

PROCEDURE

1. The beginning point of hangar visit plan preparation is; database containing information about due
dates of all the maintenance checks due in the upcoming year. The due dates are calculated from
the inputs mentioned below.

• Preambles of all aircraft types – gathered from AWM. Preamble specifies the interval of the
maintenance check. The check interval can be specified in terms of flight cycles, flight
hours, aircraft landings or the calendar time.

4-1.22 PROCEDURE FOR HEAVY MAINTENANCE PERFORMANCE MONITORING

4.1. PURPOSE

This procedure gives guidelines to establish the effectiveness of base / heavy maintenance performance.

4.2. PROCEDURE
st
1. The base maintenance performance report shall be generated bi-annually. The 1 half yearly report
shall be generated after 5 months of end of HAJJ Operation. The final annual report shall be
generated after start of next HAJJ Operation.

2. Below are the steps of this procedure.

a. Collection of data related to hangar visit plan and actual maintenance activities. There are
two main fields required in this data.

i. Type of maintenance activities (Planned and Actually Performed)


ii. In and Out date of maintenance activities (Planned and Actually Performed)

b. Analysis of data according to Key Performance Indicators.


c. Summarizing the findings of analysis.
d. Performance projections for the current period in the light of findings established.
e. Submission to higher management for review and action.

Key Performance Indicators

• Capacity Utilization
• Order Fulfillment
• Percentage of Planned Ground Time Compliance
• Product and Process Data Accuracy

Basic Definitions

• Activity
– The smallest activity of heavy maintenance (e.g. Check C) whose duration is 15 days and
above is considered as a unit activity.
– All the remaining activities are defined in terms of that smallest activity e.g.
• Check C – 25 Working Days – 1 Activity
• Check D – 45 Working Days – 1.8 Activity

KPI-1: Capacity Utilization

• Capacity is the availability level of heavy maintenance facility e.g. 261 days in a year.
• Capacity Utilization indicates the duration of time, the maintenance hangar was occupied.
• High capacity utilization means more occupancy of maintenance hangar.
• It is calculated including both PIA and third party maintenance activities.
• Planned Capacity Utilization = Total Working Days Planned / Total Capacity * 100
• Actual Capacity Utilization = Total Working Days Actual / Total Capacity * 100

KPI-2: Order Fulfillment

• Order is a maintenance activity to take place in maintenance hangar.


• Order Fulfillment = 100 – ((Number of Activities Planned - Number of Activities Completed) /
Number of Activities Planned *100)
• Number of Activities Completed is the total number of activities completed within the duration of
plan.

EPM Chapter 4-1 Edition: 2 Revision: 3 Issue: March, 2013 Page 27 of 28


ENGINEERING PROCEDURES MANUAL
ENGINEERING & MAINTENANCE (MAINTENANCE OPERATION CENTRE)

• In case, the duration of completed activity is different from the planned duration, the planned
duration will be used in calculation.
• An activity which was not planned but completely carried out by base, will be included in order
fulfillment.

Note: This KPI is calculated excluding third party activities.

KPI-3: Percentage of Planned Ground Time Compliance

• It is the measure of degree to which maintenance plan is followed.


• In case of performance gaps, both Planning and Production Plans need re-evaluation.
• This KPI is calculated excluding third party activities.
• 100 + (Planned Days per Activity – Actual Days per Activity) / Planned Days per Activity *100
• Planned Days per Activity is Total Planned Grounding Days / Total Number of Planned Activities.
• Actual Days per Activity is Total Actual Grounding Days of completed activities / Number of
Activities Carried Out
• Number of Activities Carried Out is the total number of activities completed within the duration of
plan.
• In case, the duration of carried out activity is different from the planned duration, the planned
duration will be used in calculation.
• An activity which was not planned but completely carried out by base, will be included in order
fulfillment.

KPI-4: Product and Process Data Accuracy

• It measures the quality of work performed during maintenance activity.


• It is judged on the basis of
– Quality Inspection Findings
– Test Flight Results
– A/C Performance Post Heavy Maintenance Activity
• This KPI will be measured at later stages.
