ECTM

---

Engine Condition Trend Monitoring (ECTM) is a process in which changes in certain performance parameters of engines are analyzed to identify engine performance deterioration and malfunction of engine components and accessories.

Operational:

• Detect potential failures to avoid/reduce secondary damages
• Improve fleet management (removal and spare engine planning)

Financial:

• Reduce maintenance cost thanks to early detection
• Lower unscheduled downtime cost
• Optimize on-wing time

MRO:

• Better estimate shop visit cost
• Improve customize work scoping
• Increase knowledge about engine on-wing behavior
• Optimize shop capacity planning

 Prevent:

• Major operational events
• High cost failures
• Unscheduled removals

How to achieve them:

• Troubleshoot to identify cause of any significant shift of trend performance
• Forecast engine removal based on EGT margin levels and LLP
• Avoid the removal of engine with enough remaining EGT Margin

• Extraction of Engine Parameters such as EGT, EPR, TAT, N1, N2, FF during flights
• Engine Data Monitoring and Analyzing
• Trend Calculation
• EGT Margin Calculation
• Outside Air Temperature Limit ( OAT limit ) Estimation
• Engine Life Time Estimation
• Save History of Parameters to Further Trend Analysis
• Corrective Actions

When performed properly by qualified & experienced personnel, trend monitoring is capable of detecting faults such as:

• Hot section deterioration
• Hot starts
• Faulty fuel nozzles
• Dirty or eroded compressors
• FOD damage
• Bleed leaks
• Instrumentation errors
