GROUND EVENTS
Monitor and predict future aircraft maintenance events
Predicting maintenance events has for some time been discussed in aviation as essential to improving efficiencies and costs in aircraft maintenance. Assessing the precise locations and dates of aircraft on the ground and using this to predict future maintenance events is core to driving such efficiency and cost improvements.
Ground Events is a first of its kind tool which enables businesses to analyze the historical maintenance of aircraft, optimize how aircraft are being used, effectively place parts and spares where they are needed, identify retrofit opportunities and more.
Understand where, for how long and why aircraft are spending time on the ground for maintenance and forecast future events, whether that be c-checks, heavy checks, paint work, retrofits and more.
Ground Events is part of Cirium Ascend®, providing aircraft analytics to empower businesses around the world to make dial-shifting financial risk, investment growth strategy and market assessment decisions.
Ground Events product demonstration
On-Demand
Join Cirium experts to see how Cirium Ascend Ground Events analyzes aircraft maintenance, tracks historical maintenance and predicts future checks for placing aircraft and parts where needed and optimizes how an aircraft is used. Identify specific ground events by type, uncovering C-Check, Heavy-Check, and Paint Work events or Retrofit opportunities.
Proactively plan for future aircraft ground events
Analyze the maintenance of aircraft
Access maintenance specific data on top of flight activity information and identify the precise locations and dates of aircraft on the ground. The fast and flexible tool displays all aircraft ground events that last for more than seven days.
Place aircraft and parts where needed
Have confidence using satellite-based flight tracking data which identifies the precise locations of aircraft on the ground, anywhere in the world. Tracking historical scheduled maintenance checks enables the prediction of future scheduled checks.
Identify retrofit opportunities
View specific ground event information with around 35,000 labelled ground events by type of event, such as C-check, heavy check, paint work or retrofit. The proprietary Ground Events data derives from the fusion of Cirium’s fleet, maintenance and flight data.
Optimize how aircraft are being used
Filter aircraft history by aircraft registration and access the context around a ground stay. Use filters to view maintenance events and projections by event type, event start date aircraft type, operator, MRO, lessor, MRO region or country and engine type.
