Overview

More than 4,000 CF34 engines power regional jets in over 82 airlines in the 50-120 passenger categories. About 1,400 CF34 engines power Challenger business jets, which fly far fewer hours per year than their airlines counterparts. On-condition maintenance (OCM), the standard in the aviation industry, is predictive or condition-based maintenance where indications from trend monitoring or periodic inspection drive a service event. By virtue of the fewer hours they fly, CF34 engines on business jets stay on-wing longer, which puts them in greater risk of undetected problems inside of their engines.

Our Customers’ Challenge

Many business aviation CF34 engines have been on-wing 7,000 hours and/or 10 years or longer without a shop visit or attention to OEM Service Bulletins and Airworthiness Directives. This can have a serious impact on the reliability, long-term performance and operating costs of these engines – often unbeknown to maintenance teams - including the higher risk of unscheduled maintenance events and AOG situations. This greater risk is due to long periods of time on wing, modifications (SB/AD) and the effects of ambient environments.
