American Airlines Aircraft Maintenance Procedures
American Airlines is proud of its maintenance record, procedures and
employees. The airline performs 11 man-hours of maintenance for every one hour
of flight time on its aircraft. The time frame for maintenance procedures is
based on a combination of the number of hours the aircraft flies, the number of
take-offs and landings (referred to as "cycles") it makes, plus the age of the
aircraft. Here is a brief explanation of American’s maintenance check
procedures:
"PS" Daily Checks
Each aircraft is checked every 2-3 days in its "PS" (Periodic Service) check.
The aircraft is visually inspected and its maintenance log book is checked for
entries and maintenance needs. The "PS" check can be performed overnight or
during downtime during the flight day. It averages approximately two
man-hours.
"A" Checks
The "A" check is more detailed than the "PS" check. "A" checks are
performed every 7- 9 days (approximately 80 - 100 flight hours). The "A" check is performed at one of 40 stations around American’s system. It averages 10 - 20 man-hours.
"B" Checks
The "B" check is an even more thorough maintenance check. The "B" check is
accomplished approximately every two months (roughly 500 - 600 flight hours). Besides
specific service performed on the aircraft, a detailed series of systems and
operational checks are performed. American always performs "B" checks inside
one of its hangars at seven different cities around its system. A "B" check requires approximately 100 man-hours on narrowbody aircraft (those with only
one aisle) and approximately 200 - 300 man-hours on widebody aircraft (those
with two aisles).
"C" Checks
The "C" check is the most thorough type of maintenance work performed by
American. The airframe - virtually the entire aircraft - goes through an
exhaustive series of checks, inspections and overhaul work. It is performed at
either of American’s heavy maintenance and engineering centers in Tulsa,
Oklahoma or the Alliance Maintenance Facility in Fort Worth, Texas. There are
different levels of "C" checks depending on the type of aircraft.
These include:
Narrowbody "C" Checks
American does two types of "C" checks on its narrowbody planes. The first is a "Light C" check, which occurs approximately every 15 - 18 months. It requires approximately 2,100 man-hours and three days to accomplish. Every fourth "Light C" check becomes a "Heavy C" check. This check requires 20,000 - 30,000 man-hours and takes from three to five weeks to accomplish.
Widebody "C" Checks
Because of the complexity of widebody aircraft, all "C" checks are "Heavy C" checks. The complete airframe inspection and service is done every 24 - 30 months. It takes approximately 10,000 man-hours and from two to four weeks to accomplish a widebody "C" check.
Jet Engine Overhauls
Modern jet engines are among the most reliable devices in aviation.
American does not replace and overhaul jet engines at a specific number of
hours. Instead, American uses a 24-hour-a-day "condition monitoring" process
that scientifically tracks the condition of every engine on every aircraft.
Besides visual inspection, technicians monitor the internal condition of every
engine, using such procedures as boroscope inspections and oil sample
spectographs. The goal is to replace and overhaul an engine before a problem
can occur. Engine overhauls are performed at the Tulsa and Alliance-Fort Worth
Maintenance and Engineering facilities. The engine replacement is usually
performed at one of the six "B" check hangar locations around the country.
