| Aging Aircraft Consulting, LLC (AACL) provides engineering support with a team of highly skilled, trained and seasoned professionals with a cumulative aircraft knowledge base of over two hundred years. The scope of the support effort includes a wide range of research, analyses, and technical expertise to include, but not limited to sustainment of Force Management (FM) and Reliability & Maintainability, Functional System Integrity Program (FSIP), Force Management Support (FMS), System Management Program, System Obsolescence Research, Wiring Integrity Reliability Enhancement Strategy (WIRES), Component Life Assessment, Feasibility Studies, Critical Safety Items , Program Depot Maintenance, Functional Check Flight, Engineering Disposition Analysis, Aircraft Availability Analysis, and Configuration Management. |
|
| All AACL investigators focus heavily on the FSIP program. The FSIP objective is to identify and evaluate solutions for functional system deficiencies which affect aircraft safety and operational capabilities. Under the area of Force Management, AACL personnel monitor and make recommendations to the C-5 Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) Form 202, Non-Conforming Technical Assistance Requests and Replies program. AACL personnel are system administrators that continually monitor the system and assist engineering with technical advice to resolve field and Depot level maintenance disposition. |
|
| AACL’s Supply Chain Management personnel provide unrivaled expertise in utilization of legacy and commercial information systems used to obtain information which enhances supportability for Robins AFB weapon systems by collecting and identifying trends, problems, and supply concerns. Services & support provided help engineering management be proactive versus reactive to parts issue and limitations. AACL’s management of the surplus program (107/202/1912) ensures that every means of obtaining a part using normal supply procedures is explored before approving the purchase of surplus assets. Extensive research of parts certifications and tracers to include price comparison gives customers time to focus on other projects and helps save funds for other programs. AACL personnel provide real time status of surplus requests for all HQ AFMC MICAP requests providing worldwide Program Managers with timesaving decision results for aircrafts in the field and at Depot. |
|
| AACL also provides technical expertise in Wiring Integrity Reliability Enhancement Strategy and Configuration Management. AACL is focused on improving wiring system reliability, developing more effective maintenance troubleshooting techniques, improving electrical system component design & functionality, and performing root cause failure analysis to enhance wiring system performance. AACL provides note worthy assistance with Configuration Management of the C-5 Galaxy Aircraft by preparing any and all changes, additions, proposals that must be sent through the Configuration Control Board (CCB) for final approval or disapproval by the Chief Engineer.

| AACL is an experienced provider of reverse engineering and/or re-engineering services. The value stream of increased reliability and availability of systems, components, and parts not currently available due to incorrect, incomplete or otherwise unavailable documentation as a result of obsolescence or non-support by the OEM is an important operational objective. AACL offers turn key product design, end to end solutions and audit performance metrics, all of which results in knowledge based engineering solutions, benchmarking “Best Practices”, and producing mean time between failure analyses |
|
| AACL provides Reliability and Maintainability (R&M) engineering functions necessary to sustain HH-60G, UH-1N, and TH-1H rotary-wing aircraft in support of the 580 ACSG at Warner Robins Air Logistics Center. These functions include utilizing historical data from field and depot level maintenance data sources to isolate and analyze aircraft functional system and logistics support deficiencies, performing field interviews to validate data findings, determining engineering support and technical data adequacy, documenting findings, and identifying appropriate solutions to improve airframe/system R&M. Improvement solutions include developing an overhaul kit and identifying alternate manufacturing sources for the In-flight Refueling Probe inner fuel tube, providing manufacturing drawings and prototyping of APU Inlet Screens, and writing an automated wiring test program for the Intercommunications System on the HH-60G airframe. |
