Currently, the U.S Air Force (USAF) does not have a standardized chronic flagging solution across its fleets. Todayâs processes for uncovering chronic problems on aircraft are entirely manual, and for some wings nonexistent. Chronic problems lead to unnecessary maintenance errors and incorrect aircraft system fixes and intense resource drain, which costs money and lives, and greatly decreases mission readiness. The Aermetric Chronic Program (rated TRL-3 for military applications) vastly improves the process for flagging chronic maintenance problems in aircraft systems and components through automated processes using only maintenance log data. Unlike aircraft sensor data, which is extremely localized to specific systems, maintenance log data is widely available for an entire aircraft regardless of aircraft age or complexity, which allows Aermetric to deploy a universal chronic flagging solution very rapidly. Aermetric has piloted its chronic processes with 870,000 maintenance logs of the 19 AF and two commercial airlines
