Aircraft Transition Management demo

What the demo shows

Aircraft transition for airlines: agents phase in used or acquired jets through service entry

Each incoming aircraft sits in its hangar bay on one screen, seen from above, with its open items grouped around it (records, conformity, mods, cabin, paperwork) and a note from the transition agent saying what blocks service entry. Seven agents do the work: a records agent reads the other operator's boxes and exports and shows every place it looked; a conformity agent compares AD methods, AMOCs and equipment with the airline's own standards; a mods and cabin agent lists the engineering orders and cabin work; a follow-up agent chases the other airline or lessor and tracks every promise; a planning agent drafts the work orders in a doable order; a check agent re-verifies everything blind; and the transition agent re-plans the hangar every night. On one sample acquired regional jet, 31 open items include 4 blockers: two ADs met another way, one under an approval issued only to the previous airline, a cabin layout change and a missing weight report. The planning agent drafts a weighing after the cabin work; the transition manager approves it and every blocker has a date, with 2 days of float. The Director of Quality signs each aircraft onto the certificate.
