Case Study

Enhancing Maintenance Management Systems

Keeping Aircraft Flying

Ensuring defence aircraft are properly maintained is vital, both in terms of operational efficiency and safety. This is often done using Maintenance Management Systems (MMS). However, reliance on legacy systems can do much to impede this endeavour.


The Portuguese Air Force approached Critical with the task of modernising the legacy MMS used on their fleet of AW101 aircraft. Using a three-pillared approach, Critical was able to produce a dynamic solution that delivered results and kept aircraft safe. 


In this case study, learn more about:

  • How Critical’s three-pillared approach dealt with information accuracy and accessibility
  • The gains made from modernising Maintenance Management Systems
  • Why keeping MMSes up-to-date is key to ensuring maintenance standard compliance
