Maintenance Management Made Easy – A new PTA dB

Alan Jupp — Wed, 13 May 2009 01:46:13 +0000

Are you looking for a cost effective aircraft maintenance control software tool that doesn’t cost $1,000’s of dollars a year to own?

Not interested in software that cost X$’s per User and/or Y$’s per aircraft per year?

Would you be interested in testing one I have developed?

I am prepared to send the first five (5) people who request it a copy of my “Beta” version, fully functional MS Access application a FREE copy (ie: 1 years subscription). All that I ask in return is you feedback to me your constructive criticisms so that I can enhance the application.

I have not as yet settled on normal fees but it will be a simple one figure per year and as low as I can get it.

The new MMME beta application will include my tried and tested AD dB tool – FREE, no strings attached.

Australian Airworthiness Directives – Compliance Review

Admin — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 15:45:47 +0000

A year or so ago now whilst exercising the privilages of my CASA issued Instrument (CofA issue) it became obvious that methods used to date to review/audit Australian AD applicability and compliance were both long winded (And therefore costly) and open to some basic typing errors.

So to cut a long story short I developed a MSACCESS data base that can list ALL Australian AD’s for any Australian registered aircraft.

At last count that was over 11,797 AD’s.

Now just so we are clear, this dB does not carry the CASA AD’s themselves only their number, revision status and title.

It can be updated at any time. It takes me about 5 minutes to reset it. This is essential as AD’s keep getting issued, amended. and/or cancelled

Whilst its focus is Certificate of Airworthiness AD reviews it could be used for maintenance organisations that get a new client in the hangar and need to review AD status.

Its reports are numerous and can be used to split recurring and non-recurring. Giving very neat and extremely quick to produce log book entries.

I offer the dB and a Users Guide to each CoA client for FREE.

If anyone is interested in a copy outside that client base then drop me an email.

Its easy to use and can cut a two week task into one or two days. In other words it pays for itself many times over on the first use.
