How do engine MRO costs break down for different engine types?
The effects of ageing and maturity on engines costs The costs of second and subsequent shop visits as compared with the first shop visit The effects of operating in severe environments, in operating short/long stage lengths and in operating abnormal missions The effects of short-term leasing and engine part-out in the sunset years of operation Comparative costs for different engine types and variations in where the costs are found

Methodology
The shop visit cost is divided into:
Accessories and fees Material cost of new material Repair cost of repairing parts Labor cost
All mark up and fees are included in the cost The following engines have been considered based on
SGI experience Mix of modern concept engines and mature engines
Considerations Accessories and fees are similar On new engines, material cost is most relevant the cost of repairs is significant on older models

Improvements
How to reduce shop visit costs
Proper workscope
Only necessary modifications to be implemented Cost effective analysis of necessary repair level per each module and of repairs
Use of Properly repaired parts to be maximized Proper management of the engine through the shop
Number of workscope revisions to be minimized Unexpected findings to be evaluated and corrective actions to be managed
Plan in advance
LLP & normal replaced parts to be acquired in advance
Tailored contract

More prone to have environment effects Certain engine areas are more critical Results Deterioration rate is higher (more rapid) On wing life is reduced Scrap rate is higher Workscope is more extensive

Thrust reductions
Considerations Take off thrust reduction has a major effect on deterioration De-rate has a bigger impact on full power take offs Effects It is more beneficial to use flex take offs at higher thrust settings Flex take offs benefits are higher at maximum take off power Severity curves usually used to consider this effect On wing life can be increased up to 25% by maximizing flex take off policy

Thrust changes
Considerations Thrust ratings can be changed easily Wide range of Thrust ratings across same engine model Parameters Rotor speed Temperature Pressure Operating curves are changing significantly Results Engines are operated at multiple thrust settings during one engine run Higher time on wing can be achieved Higher reliability Lower maintenance cost per hour
17
Additional cost is divided in more flying hours There is no significant changes in cost per hour based on the sector length

Life Cycle
Conclusion
SGI experience
Environment and engine operations are the most critical factors for engine deterioration The cost of operations can be predicted using a model for each engine The cost for repairing an engine is depending on the product phase of the engine model End of life strategies are depending on the engine model
