Cost Reduction and Engine Life Extension Through Engine Life Monitoring at SNECMA

Abstract

The current market of the military Aircraft Gas Turbine Engines imposes reductions in the support costs. It has now become necessary to adapt our maintenance policy to comply with the new requirements. The present tendency focuses on a better knowledge of the real engine operation conditions to better relate damage to mission types. Our former maintenance policies for military engines were too expensive. SNECMA adopted the damage tracking on the ATAR, the flight recorder for the LARZAC and a life monitoring system for the M53 and the M88.
