The Benefits of Routine Oil, Filter and Chip Analysis
Regular oil, filter and chip analysis is proven to be an effective means of identifying certain failure modes.
A large fleet operator experienced 14 IFSDs (In Flight Shut Down) involving a common oil wetted component. At the time the operator was not undertaking routine oil, filter and chip analysis.
The non-engine repair cost for each event was approximately $1.5M. The engine repair cost was covered under a PBH program and the PBH provider paid approximately $2.5M per event. As a result the operator instigated an oil, filter and chip analysis program with Jet-Care.
