The Revolution of the Aircraft Engine Ground Maintenance Station attempts to show how two trends ubiquitous to the 21/sup st/ Century are having a positive effect on engine health management, enabling a proactive approach to engine maintenance. Those two trends are: (1) speed of communications (2) access to information. These two trends are having more of an impact than other efforts aimed at improvements to engine health, such as algorithm development work in artificial intelligence, neural networks etc. The importance of these two trends is demonstrated in a few examples, including, as an example, an extract from the Canadian Transportation Safety Board Report on a mishap involving a DC-10 aircraft. The ability to access information, which has been correlated from a number of sources, is making the transformation of the Ground Station into an Engine Data Center. We can now forecast engine problems, where in the past, we simply reacted to them.
