"On 6 Dec 2023, A380 VH-OQI operated Qantas, underwent a 3-day scheduled check at LAX. A 1.25 m nylon turning tool was left in the outboard left engine. The aircraft flew 34 cycles / 293.74 hours, with the tool in the engine prior to it being discovered on 1 Jan 2024. Contributing factors: An aircraft maintenance engineer and a licenced maintenance engineer did not observe an engine turning tool that was left in the low-pressure compressor case during their foreign object inspections after maintenance. The lost tool procedure was not commenced when the tool was identified as missing. The service engineer certified a certificate of release (CRS) with the tool unaccounted for." https://lnkd.in/ek65nxpp #flightsafety #aviationsafety #aviationmaintenance

WE SAVED OUR CLIENT €1.7M+ ON AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE ✈️ Case Study: Dassault Falcon 7X C-Check success story: Overview A private aircraft owner approached Vertex MXX to manage the full C-check and a series of inspections on their Dassault Falcon 7X, which had been in storage for three years. They needed expert representation to ensure the aircraft returned to service efficiently, safely, and cost-effectively—without unnecessary repairs. Challenge After three years in storage, the Falcon 7X required an extensive C-check, including critical inspections, repairs, and updates. The initial quote from the maintenance facility was €1.2 million, with potential defect findings estimated to push the total to €4.2 million. Faced with this significant financial burden, the owner engaged Vertex MXX to oversee the entire project, aiming for transparency, cost control, and essential work only. Given the significant financial impact of these estimates, the owner appointed Vetex MXX to oversee the entire maintenance project, ensuring transparency, cost control, and the performance of only essential work. Our Approach Owner Representation: We placed one of our expert engineers on-site throughout the entire maintenance process, representing the owner’s interests and ensuring their voice was heard at the maintenance facility. Thorough Work Order Review: We meticulously reviewed every item on the work order and proposed defect findings, ensuring that only necessary tasks were approved for the safe return of the aircraft. This proactive approach prevented unnecessary repairs and inflated costs. Unmatched Technical Expertise: With decades of industry experience, our engineers worked hand-in-hand with the maintenance facility, verifying every inspection and repair. We also collaborated with the CAMO to ensure all regulatory compliance requirements were met. The Results Over €1.7 million in savings: Thanks to our thorough oversight, expert negotiation, and application of warranties where applicable, we significantly reduced the overall cost. What started as a €4.2 million estimate was lowered to just €2.5 million without compromising safety or compliance. On-Site Supervision: Our engineer’s continuous presence at the facility ensured that only necessary work was performed, preventing unnecessary or inflated charges. Timely and Efficient Process: Even with the challenges posed by three years of storage, the C-check and all inspections were completed on time, minimising downtime and getting the aircraft back in the air sooner than expected. Why This Matters for You By partnering with Vertex MXX, this aircraft owner saved over €1.7 million and enjoyed the confidence that their Dassault Falcon 7X was restored to full airworthy condition—on time and within budget.
