Long-Term Operation and Maintenance of Engine Monitoring Systems - Recommendations Derived from 15 Years of OLMOS Use by the GAF

Abstract

Some aspects of the operation of a monitoring system over a time of several decades are discussed. It is shown, that the classical system design approach with well-defined definition, development, introduction and operation phases has to be replaced by a network of parallel activities. These activities are driven by the requirements to maintain fleet readiness and safe operation under the constraints of shrinking budgets and personnel reduction. Other factors driving the need for adaptations and enhancements are the obsolescence problems caused by the significantly different time scales for IT system components used in commercial or consumer oriented applications and for military applications.
