Risk Assessment and Small Aircraft Certification

Michael Traskos
The basic idea behind the F3230 is to limit the total number of assessments to those that are of particular concern for aircraft safety. This aligns with the change of part 23 aircraft the FAA has implemented for a more performance-based certification approach versus the detailed and prescriptive approach that the FAA used prior to 2016.

Condition Based Maintenance and Risk Quantification

Michael Traskos
Aircraft maintenance is usually broken down one of two ways: by physical zones or by systems. The mechanical equipment and subsystems integrity program, also known as MECSIP, is the US Air Force’s approach to addressing aircraft sustainment and maintenance through focused system evaluation. Last week, MECSIP managers from many of the Air Force fleets gathered in Dayton, Ohio to discuss the latest developments, procedures, and technologies for addressing the MECSIP needs of their fleets.

What Are You Missing from Your Risk Assessment?

Michael Traskos
Creating maintenance action plans for vehicle sustainment is a heavily detailed process involving the collaboration between multiple groups. If any group has a less detailed (or flawed) analysis, the potential impact could be felt for years/decades to come. A structured process for assessment is outlined in the mechanical subsystems integrity program (MECSIP) outlined in military […] Read more

Trends in aircraft wiring and risk assessment with John Ashour

John Gilroy
The purpose of the Lectromec Podcast is to keep you informed of trends in the rapidly changing aerospace industry. Once a month we interview leaders and seek their insight on topics related to Aircraft Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS), wire testing, and risk assessment for aerospace. Today’s interview is with the President of InterConnect Wiring […] Read more

General Aviation EWIS Risk Assessment

Smaller aircraft, which comprise most of the general aviation (GA) aircraft fleet, suffer from the same problems that larger ones experience – as wires age and fail, the aircraft’s airworthiness is affected. However, given the smaller scale of these aircrafts, a full risk assessment is impractical. For these cases, Lectromec has developed a simplified process […] Read more

EWIS Risk Assessment for Service Life Extension Programs (SLEP)

Summary of Lectromec’s EWIS SLEP services Decrease maintenance load, achieve compliance with requirements, and have a clear data-backed path for wiring system sustainment; these are achievable. As evidence of this, Lectromec has prepared a case study detailing a segment of our process and how it helped a fleet avoid millions of dollars of unnecessary wiring […] Read more

Aerospace Risk Assessment

A great deal of Lectromec’s work has been focused on risk assessment, both aerospace as well as non-aerospace-related risk. Below is a discussion on aerospace-related risk. The reliable performance of an aircraft’s Electrical Wire Interconnection System (EWIS) is necessary for uncompromised aircraft operation. This is true for both new and existing aircraft. Lectromec has been […] Read more

Risk Assessment

Process management, focused maintenance, and improving reliability are some of the main drivers for performing system risk assessments. Regardless of the need, acting upon the results of a thorough risk assessment can provide return on investment through reduced equipment downtime and prevention of personnel injuries. Although, Lectromec’s technology and research have been mainly focused on […] Read more
