AASII Provides A Clear View of Aircraft Maintenance

Every silver lining can come with a cloud attached: in the case of aviation maintenance planning software, the cloud can be information overload. Even when a third-party MRO manages this software on an aircraft owner's behalf, confusion can still be the result. "What am I to do with all these service alerts and advisories," the overwhelmed owner/operator wonders. "Should I expedite them all? Can I save money by deferring some of them? If so, then which ones?"

In an effort to dispel the information overload cloud, Advanced Aviation Services International (AASII, www.aasii.com) offers a variety of aviation maintenance planning packages. Based in Pensacola, Florida, AASII's goal is to make computer-based aviation maintenance planning easy for aircraft owners/operators of all sizes, in a format that can be accessed through any computer with Web access. The result is faster, more accurate maintenance planning: this translates into more efficient aircraft maintenance and less service downtime for preventative repairs and quicker, less-costly solution of unplanned maintenance problems.

"With the introduction of our newest level of service, called HT TRACKER [hard-time tracker], we have a program to fit everyone's needs," said Ken Rohde, AASII's president. "HT TRACKER was designed for the operators who need to know specific information in a timely manner with the ease of a few keystrokes. If price is a concern for your operation, you will be surprised to see that we have rolled back the prices to a level that has not been available for the past 20 years, all with no reduction in quality."

Affordable computer-based maintenance management, available 24/7 around the world, that is what Rhode aims to deliver. -- By James Careless
