End-to-End Support for Application of MIL-HDBK-525

CHANTILLY, Va. - Aug. 12, 2013 - PRLog -- Lectromec has announced it is now offering a comprehensive service package addressing the wiring system service life extension guidance laid out in the newly released MIL-HDBK-525 “Electrical Wiring Interconnect System (EWIS) Integrity Program”.

Lectromec’s service package aligns its three decades of EWIS assessment experience to the seven handbook tasks (http://quicksearch.dla.mil/basic_profile.cfm?ident_number=279725&method=basic). The service package steps, like the core handbook tasks, combine system and maintenance data, EWIS component health test results, and physical and functional failure impact analyses. This yields a clear framework for gathering information on EWIS system health and prioritizing maintenance/replacement actions as part of Service Life Extension Programs (SLEPs).

Lectromec’s expertise in EWIS component degradation and extensive experience developing remaining life models, make it possible to perform a thorough aircraft-wide EWIS risk assessment. The company’s vetted software tools—the EWIS Risk Assessment Tool (EWIS RAT - http://www.lectromec.com/RiskAssessment/EWISRiskAssessmentForServiceLifeExtensionPrograms) and Arc Damage Modeling Tool (ADMT - http://www.lectromec.com/RiskAssessment/ArcDamageModelingTool)—can be used to expedite the evaluation process.

“MIL-HDBK-525 provides much needed guidance to aircraft maintainers. This lays out a systematic approach to address their aging EWIS components with a quantified risk assessment” said Michael Traskos, President of Lectromec. “This approach was developed by combining and filtering through the wealth of military, FAA, and industry guidance produced in the last 15 years. Lectromec’s service package can remove the EWIS SLEP assessment uncertainly and identify the necessary tasks to achieve and sustain EWIS airworthiness.”
