Track Proficiency

Tracks can have a different turnaround time (TAT) to complete work. Assigning a proficiency factor to each track allows Fleet Planner to factor in the impact of scheduling or assigning work to the track.

Most aircraft operators do not have the capacity at a single hangar or track to service all aircraft in their fleet. Planning maintenance visits at multiple locations inevitably leads to varying capacity at these locations. This is compounded by seasonal or monthly capacity changes at maintenance locations. This varying capacity, in conjunction with MRO contracts, means there are varying TAT's or spans for each task definition per location.

The scheduling engine calculates the span of each visit based on the proficiency factor. The initial visit length (without the factor) will be calculated using the task spans. Once the initial visit length is calculated, the proficiency factor will be applied to calculate the correct visit length.

Example: Track A has a proficiency factor of 1 and Track B has a proficiency factor of 2. A C Check has a span of 20 days. It will have the span of 20 days (20 ÷ 1) for Track A, and 10 days (20 ÷ 2) for Track B.

Track Base Proficiency

This is the default proficiency factor assigned to each track. If the fleet planner has not assigned proficiency factors for the tracks, they will be automatically set to 1. You can change this later in location capability.
