Maintenance planning is a vital department within any organization providing the foundation for a solid maintenance system. Unfortunately commercial and corporate operators must sometimes rely on assigning this critical task as an added responsibility for their Director of Maintenance or to a less knowledgeable person within the company dividing their time between current operational demands and inspection scheduling. This can result in improperly planned inspections and heavy maintenance checks costing time and money.

Centurion AMS can provide your company with the most essential resource available in today's market: Out-Source Planning Services (OPS).

To initiate Centurion OPS, we input operator baseline program inspection requirements into the Centurion Aircraft Maintenance Tracking System (CamTracs) whether time, cycle and/or calendar controlled events. For those customers investing in Centurion AMS program and bridging support, our system is preloaded offering a quick and easy transition to OPS.

Next, we upload the current inspection data on each aircraft within the operator's fleet and apply the CamTracs controls flowing the data to airframe, engines and components for limiter statistics. Once active, OPS planners analyze the information to derive a maintenance schedule and budget figures based upon projected customer utilization. With OPS, operators will have the power to make educated decisions about the direction of their company.

Further, OPS planners relentlessly strive to reduce customer costs by providing continuous program evaluations based on actual operator utilization. Time and cycle updates are provided via our web link and are uploaded into CamTracs. After data processing, the information is reviewed by OPS planners followed by customer notification should adjustments to the schedule be warranted.

OPS also provides customers advisory notices of any regulatory compliance issues impacting their aircraft. Through our regulatory library updated bi-weekly, OPS planners verify those items applicable to an operator's fleet, enter the controls into CamTracs, prepare an advisory notice of the new requirement and, if the actions require immediate attention, prepare a supplemental work card to accomplish the task before the due date.
