Jet-Care's engine-monitor program goes online
Increased use of the Internet and software improvements have made Jet-Care International’s engine condition health online (Echo) program more user-friendly

Increased use of the Internet and software improvements have made Jet-Care International’s engine condition health online (Echo) program more user-friendly, according to technical director Peter Smith. Previously, the monthly reports sent to customers were mailed or faxed, but Echo can now e-mail the reports as PDF files.

Jet-Care is also making the engine condition reports available to customers via its
Web site (www.jet-care.com). This allows it to offer more frequent updates, with the system being refreshed every night to reflect the outcome of any follow-up testing. For example, Smith explained, an operator suspecting that a problem is due to a gauge can swap it out with another instrument and then send in fresh flight data for Echo to analyze. Confirmation will be available the next day via the Web site.
