Frontier Airlines has chosen Skywise Health Monitoring
as its key future fleet performance tool under a five year
contract covering 111 single-aisle aircraft.
Launched in 2019, Airbus’ Skywise Health Monitoring (SHM)
gathers live diagnostic feeds from the aircraft through its
Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS)
link to the airline’s information system.
SHM is designed to save airlines time and decrease the
cost of unscheduled maintenance.
Frontier will use the solution for its A320 Family
fleet. It will support the airline’s maintenance and
engineering teams by enabling real-time management of aircraft
events and troubleshooting. This will help the airline in
identifying, prioritising, analysing and handling in-service
events, enabling quicker decision-making and minimising AOG risks.
Using the power of the Skywise aviation data
platform, SHM collates and centralises the alerts, flight-deck
effects, maintenance messages etc., prioritises them, correlates
any faults with the relevant troubleshooting procedures,
highlights operational impacts, provides the maintenance history
of the system (from the logbook and MIS information collected
through Skywise Core and stored in the data lake), allowing
effective tracking of the alerts.
Natively interfaced with Skywise
Predictive Maintenance (SPM) and Skywise Reliability (SR) to
provide an integrated user experience, and also ready to harness
the new on-board Flight Operations and Maintenance Exchanger
(FOMAX) data router which can capture over 20,000 real-time
aircraft parameters, SHM enables end-to-end unscheduled event
management/fixes, for example by anticipating tools and parts’
availability closest to the aircraft.
Editor's note: SHM is part of Airbus Services' push towards
greater digitalisation through the entire lifespan of an aircraft
as well as its direct and indirect operations. We will have much
more on Airbus Services and its plans for the future in the coming
weeks.
