The Studies of the global market place clearly indicate that there is a movement of major users, such as airlines, that move to a requirement of fully maintained facilities as their competitive edge used to be seen as the brand and customer care providing their travel. This is sometimes referred to as 'Power by the Hour' and changes the responsibilities and outlook of the aircraft and service suppliers who now are expected to take on the mantle of 'through life service'. As a product information requirement, this implies that design and maintenance process information is more topical. This is highly relevant as each aircraft has a different configuration in service due to part replacement. All this information, including the experience collected, has to be made available to engineers all around the world at near real time performance. It must also be noted that an AOG (Aircraft on Ground) is a situation where the aircraft cannot be used and is loosing revenue. It not only affects the particular flight but all the resources of managing and controlling the entire operations of an airport as it affects all passenger and flight movements as it blocks gates, and a replacement aircraft could be required. This paper proposes an analysis of current practice in AOG situations, describing the stakeholders, their tools and the way they collaborate. It then proposes a futuristic scenario that illustrates how advanced technologies could be used to accelerate an unplanned maintenance process. Finally, those technologies are discussed further and the software tools that will be implemented by the CoSpaces project are described, with an emphasis on the AR (Augmented Reality) framework.
