IECHO GPA™

During EBACE 2012 in Geneva, the following three operators were selected at random as winners of a 'resolutionary' new iPad^®, having downloaded the iECHO GPA™ application and submitted in-flight data:    

Monday 14 May -  We were pleased to announce the first winner of our competition as Jeff Kohlert, Chief Pilot at Woodhill Aircraft, Illinois, USA.

Tuesday 15 May - Barclay Holscher, Captain & Director of Maintenance at Orion Airmotive Management, Minnesota, USA was our second winner.

Wednesday 16 May - Anderson Schultz, Chief Pilot at Gulf Coast Asphalt Company, Texas, USA also won an iPad.

Congratulations to all three winners.

The aviation world and regulatory agencies’ acceptance of the iPad^® as an electronic flight bag (EFB) has generated the development of a multitude of apps for pilots, from pre-flight planning to instrument charts and airport diagrams.  Jet-Care^® has seen the benefits of such technology and launched the iECHO GPA™ application for iPad. 

The application is aimed at operators on its Gas Path Analysis program, and is especially helpful for pilots currently recording “kneepad” data.  iECHO GPA allows pilots to enter data in stable cruise condition that would otherwise be recorded manually on trend sheets and later sent via fax.  Aircraft equipped with connectivity can then submit the data immediately during the flight.  Alternatively, data can be stored and sent to Jet-Care once a network connection is made.

Engine core deterioration and associated faults can be detected by the analysis of deviations from the expected trend model for that engine type.  Engineers at Jet-Care compare the trends generated from its proprietary modeling software for the particular engine/airframe combination and each engine plot.  Using iECHO GPA enables quick and easy submission of cruise trend data therefore allowing the analysis process to begin immediately, enabling any significant changes to trends to be identified and communicated to the operator at the earliest opportunity.

Where an engine has a DEEC/FADEC/MDC fitted; downloading in accordance with the OEM recommended intervals should be continued. Trending both the electronic download data, and cockpit data using iECHO GPA, can, on some engine types, provide early warning of cockpit gauge errors giving the pilots further peace of mind.

The Jet-Care iECHO GPA application for iPad is free to download from the App Store℠.
