Deployed A400M Operations

Maintenance-Free Operating PeriodsMaintenance-Free Operating Period design concept minimises corrective maintenance in the field, ensuring:g

15 days Maintenance-Free Operating Period during autonomous operation

with minimum of servicing, supported by a Short Deployment Kit stowed on board, can be accomplished by Load-Master

150 days / 500FH without Scheduled Maintenance during autonomous operation

supported by Ground Kit and Long Deployment Kit containing ground equipment, spares and standard tools for corrective maintenance.


3. A400M Maintenance Conceptp


A400M Maintenance Concept

•Assumed Operation Environment (Location)

Maintenance Concept - Principles

•Assumed Operation Environment (Location)

•At MOB•It is the base of operation of the A/C located in the Nation’s home state.•Equipped with operational and maintenance facilities necessary AGE and personnel to at•Equipped with operational and maintenance facilities, necessary AGE and personnel to at least Maintenance Level 1, and logistic means.

•At DOB•It is a temporary base outside MOB, where logistic capabilities of MOB are not available f i di t b t i d t i d t t i b f A/Cfor immediate use but equipped to receive and support a certain number of A/Cs .

•At FOS•It is an operating strip without any personnel, operating facilities and AGE.•Therefore the A/C should be operated autonomouslyp y

These are the assumed common conditions, when Nation support solution is


known the specific solution established will be adapted based on these principles.

• Maintenance Level 1

ML1•Ground Handling and Servicing.•Flight Servicing.•Corrective, Preventive and Specific Maintenance that will be performed in the Flight Line.

ML1

Following conditions /situations are considered, among others, for ML1 :

• ML1 maintenance activities will performed during short deployment -except preventiveML1 maintenance activities will performed during short deployment except preventive maintenance (*) when A/C is operated autonomously.

• ML1 maintenance activities will be performed during long deployment -except preventive maintenance (*) when A/C is operated and supported at a DOB.

• ML1 maintenance activities will be performed at a MOB in appropriate hangar or at the apron.p pp p g p

Acquisition of this capability means availability of qualified personnel, means and facilities. Also necessary interfacing capabilities shall be considered. Separated considerations

ML2•Corrective, Preventive and Specific Maintenance that will be performed at a MOB or MRO.•Tasks beyond the ones accomplished at ML1 to facilitate the return of the A/C to its operational condition.

ML2


• During ML2 maintenance the A/C will be unavailable for flight.g g• On A/C in a hangar at least properly equipped for ML2. • Off A/C in specialized workshops.• For major troubleshooting or specific maintenance by team(s) of specialists with appropriate means

and tools in the operational areap• With trained and qualified, specialised technicians with the required skills.

• Maintenance Programme Framework.

Maint Program•Preventive Maintenance will be based in the Initial Maintenance Program (MRBR) and Certification derived scheduled requirements. •During the life of the A/C these requirements will evolve with the design and in service experience acquired.

4. A400M Maintenance Support Solutions Considerations (A h f I C t S l ti )(Approaches for In-Country Solutions)


ISS Services Approach

• A400M Customer Services based on the discussions held with all the Nations in preparation of the ISS Solutions has taken the initiative to develop an ISS services approach based on the following principles:services approach based on the following principles:

1. Provide first class support designed for military specific needs with the same quality of customer services that has led Airbus to become a preferred supplier to the world’s airlines.

2. Keep the ‘Global Approach’ concept: develop a common set of ISS services applicable for all customers, even with ISS arrangements established on a Nation-by-Nation basis, with the benefit of optimizing the overall ISS services development.

3. Recognize that ISS Services for each Nation must reflect differing operational requirements, service performance levels, industrial solutions and schedules.
