Use of the traditional maintenance concepts of fixed overhaul time, operate to failure maintenance, safe life, opportunity maintenance, etc. may not provide an optimum solution, both in terms of quality and cost. Condition based monitoring, at least for expensive and complex equipment, has led to an improvement in the quality of maintenance and to a substantial reduction in maintenance costs. The monitoring methods may be visual, mechanical or increasingly electronic. The development of on-board computers for flight control, engine control and systems management has provided computational capacity economically for condition based monitoring. The amount of information available is vast, covering many aircraft systems with updates available as often as several times a second. Both VHF radio and satellite links are available to transmit data so that corrective action can be planned prior to the aircraft landing. A list of handy hints is provided which will help ensure the use of condition based monitoring is managed effectively. A comparison is given of both the advantages and disadvantages of the three maintenance concepts. A status of current and future engine development is also provided. The future of condition monitoring is discussed.
