Gannet

Gannet, developed by Lundin Software S.R.L., is an aircraft maintenance solution designed to optimize maintenance operations in the aviation industry. According to the vendor, Gannet caters to a wide range of businesses, including aircraft maintenance engineers, aviation maintenance technicians, aircraft operators and owners, maintenance program managers, and aviation maintenance service providers. This software offers various features and modules to manage aircraft maintenance tasks, publications, components, airworthiness, journey logs, forecasting, workcards, inventory, tools, and more.

Key Features

Aircraft Basics: Gannet allows users to input essential information about an aircraft, such as manufacturer, model, variant, owner, operator, and maintenance class. It also provides the option to set use margins for specifying tolerance on maintenance task intervals.

Publications: According to the vendor, this feature generates a report displaying the current revision of publications used in the maintenance process. It provides valuable information for the Maintenance Program module.

Maintenance Data: Gannet defines a Maintenance Program Class where an aircraft and maintenance program can be assigned. Users can utilize margins in maintenance program task tolerances and track Minimum Equipment List (M.E.L.) extensions for an aircraft.

Components: Gannet lists all rotable components installed on an aircraft and provides maintenance information and history for specific serial numbers (S/N). It also allows the creation of Component Maintenance Logs.

Maintenance Program: This feature enables the import of scheduled maintenance tasks and the addition of repetitive Airworthiness Directives (ADs) and Service Bulletins (SBs) when printing the Maintenance Program. It facilitates the assignment of tasks as airframe or component-related and includes resource details such as manhours, skills, tools, and parts required for each task. Gannet also groups airframe tasks with the same interval into "Checks and Packages" and manages repetitive ADs and SBs for local Civil Aviation Authorities (CAA).

Airworthiness: Gannet contains a comprehensive database of Airworthiness Directives (ADs), Service Bulletins (SBs), Safety Information Letters (SILs), and Modifications (MODs) related to the customer fleet.

Journey Logs: This feature allows real-time or near-real-time updates of aircraft counters and provides a log of flight hours, landings, and other relevant information.

Forecast: Gannet serves as a PART-M planning tool by providing expected dates for hourly tasks based on the forecasted number of flight hours per month. It also allows the creation of Work Orders and the addition of tasks directly from the Forecast.

Workcards: This hangar planning tool displays open Work Orders and Unscheduled Work Cards (UWCs) for monitoring and assignment. It manages scheduled tasks, component replacements, and WC closure. Gannet includes features like Pilot Remark, Log Details, and Minimum Equipment List (MEL) management. It also monitors work progression in real-time, enables the creation of In-House Work Cards, and provides component and tool information for reference. Additionally, it tracks task history and actions performed.

Extensions: According to the vendor, Gannet allows users to request extensions for tasks that cannot be accomplished on time.
