Challenges
Midwest Corporate Air was facing challenges in tracking maintenance outside of manual aircraft logbook entries and spreadsheets. The potential for missing pilot squawks and exceeding inspection hours was a concern. The company sought a solution to stay organized, improve maintenance management, and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
Other challenges included manual tracking of maintenance, reliance on spreadsheets, and the risk of overlooking pilot squawks or exceeding inspection hours. These challenges highlighted the need for a robust maintenance management solution to ensure organizational efficiency and compliance.
Amy's familiarity with EBIS 3.2 from a previous employer prompted the exploration of EBIS for Midwest Corporate Air. Recognizing the need for a comprehensive solution to manage maintenance operations efficiently, Amy played a key role in introducing EBIS to the company.
Results and Impact of Moving to EBIS
The adoption of EBIS has brought about transformative results for Midwest Corporate Air. All maintenance work orders, aircraft compliance, and parts inventories are now efficiently tracked within the system. This has not only improved organizational efficiency but has also ensured the safety and readiness of the aircraft fleet for flight operations. The potential for oversight in maintenance events has been significantly reduced, and the company now benefits from a centralized system that keeps them organized and compliant.
