During roundtable discussions earlier this week at AIN’s Corporate Aircraft Leadership Summit - Maintenance (CALS MX) in Scottsdale, Arizona, I asked maintenance directors about the software that they use and what missing features could improve efficiency. The wide-ranging discussions with those responsible for maintaining corporate fleets covered everything from predictive maintenance to troubleshooting and tracking and artificial intelligence (AI). (Ed. note: CALS participants are encouraged to speek candidly, and AIN agrees not to identify them.)
Although some participants felt that they are being bombarded by AI-related solutions, there was some agreement that the technology might be helpful. Some companies are using Camp’s Corridor software to help manage their maintenance departments, and the roundtable participants were interested to hear about Aero Star Aviation’s development of its own Corridor-based AI tool to help mechanics learn about maintenance practices and troubleshooting solutions that are part of their peers’ tribal knowledge.
