Split scimitar winglets installed on BBJ
Lufthansa Technik is the first MRO provider in Europe to install split scimitar winglets
on a Boeing Business Jet (BBJ). With this modification, the aircraft is the third BBJ in
the world to be equipped with these new, aerodynamically optimized winglets from Aviation
Partners Boeing, substantially reducing its fuel consumption.
B
etter is the enemy of good – this
general rule could also be deduced
from looking at the development of
aerodynamic wing tip devices for commercial aircraft. The latest configuration available for retrofit is the split scimitar design.
The unique feature of this design is that it
uses the existing blended winglet structure, but adds new aerodynamic scimitar
tips and a large ventral strake. The conversion process therefore consists of replacing the existing blended winglet aluminum
winglet tip cap with a new aerodynamically
shaped “Scimitar” winglet tip cap and
adding a new scimitar-tipped ventral
strake.
The new winglets have been on the
market since early 2014. The new design
has demonstrated a significant aircraft
drag reduction over the basic blended
winglet configuration, offering fuel savings
of 1.6 percent on sectors of 1000nm rising
to 2.2 percent on sectors of 3000nm. This
equates to an extra 65nm range.
Customer satisfied
The modification of the BBJ was carried
out by the specialists at Lufthansa Technik’s
VIP & Executive Jet Maintenance unit in
Hamburg. Among other things, they
reinforced various areas of the aircraft’s
structure, particularly in the wing tanks,
in order to install the winglets. The modification required a trailing edge wedge,
strengthened stringers and ballast weight
but no changes to avionics. The team also
carried out the complex painting tasks
associated with the installation. As Aviation
Partner Boeing, manufacturer of the retrofit
kit, provided the customer with an exchange
set, the complete modification required
just ten days. The conversion usually takes
about four weeks.
The customer was very satisfied: “The
results met my expectations completely.
This was a new task for Lufthansa Technik,
and the company fulfilled it on schedule
and in high quality. Even the new paint on
the wingtips where the installation took
place was adapted optimally to the complex existing color scheme.”

Finnair’s first A350 made a
short stopover in Hamburg.
A350 component support takes off
With Finnair launching operations of its first Airbus A350 XWB, Lufthansa Technik ­commenced
the component support for the new customer. The airline will use the long-range aircraft, of which it
has 19 on order, to build up its international route network.
T
he Finnish airline took over its first
A350 aircraft from the manufacturer
on October 7, 2015. Lufthansa Technik
had the opportunity to demonstrate its
capabilities soon afterwards at the stopover
of the A350 at Hamburg Airport. The
aircraft’s visit was part of a European tour
before the upcoming official launch of
Finnair’s long-haul scheduled service with
this new aircraft type. Lufthansa Technik
provided the technical support during
the turnaround and also organized a
small ceremonial reception at the gate at
Hamburg Airport to mark the occasion.
In May 2015, as the first European airline to operate the A350, Finnair signed a
twelve-year contract with Lufthansa Technik.
As part of the exclusive Total Component
Support contract (TCS®), Lufthansa Technik
holds some 1,000 ­individual components
at the ready – from cockpit computers and
air conditioning systems to in-flight entertainment systems. The components will be
primarily repaired by Lufthansa Technik in

Lufthansa Technik Connection 6.2015
“Implementation as planned”
Connection spoke with Arne Ziessler, Head of Procurement – Aircraft Maintenance,
Finnair, about the airline’s A350 entry into service and the role of Lufthansa Technik.
How would you describe the
relationship of Finnair and
Lufthansa Technik in general?
Arne Ziessler: We have had a good working relationship with Lufthansa Technik
for many years. We have done projects
together in many areas of technical
support and got to know Lufthansa
Technik’s teams in charge of the services.
In past years, we have extended the
cooperation to new areas, most recently
to A350 component support. We have
established good communication channels
on all working levels.
What are the decisive arguments
for contracting Lufthansa Technik
to provide component support for
your new A350 fleet?
The A350 is the most important tool for
Finnair in implementing its growth strategy
in the coming years. In the area of technical support, components play a significant
role when looking at operations, especially
dispatch reliability. World class technical
capabilities and know-how, high reliability
of repair service and overall cost competitiveness were key factors in our decision.
Operation has commenced.
What are your first impressions?
We have been very happy with the new
aircraft. We have been able to implement
the flight program as planned and have
received very positive feedback from our
customers. Within the first month we have
been operating European flights with two
rotations daily. The long-haul flights to
Asia are about to start at the end of
November. We have enjoyed the positive
buzz around the new aircraft within our
company as well as in the media.
What do you expect of Lufthansa
­Technik in the long term?
As a technical organization we are aiming
for world class technical support with
high cost efficiency. We believe this can
be achieved through the implementation
of advanced technologies and new innovations combined with process excellence
in all areas. We believe that the close
cooperation and the focus on continuous
development will enable us to achieve
these goals.

the event of an AOG (Aircraft on Ground).
Lufthansa Technik’s main warehouse in
Frankfurt is the logistical backbone for the
provision of A350 component services.
The scope of the spare parts supply is
expanding with the growth of the A350
fleet operated by the airline, which has
firm orders for 19 aircraft of this type.
Component support is an important cornerstone of Lufthansa Technik’s service
portfolio for the A350, the latest generation
of Airbus long-range widebody aircraft.
The portfolio of maintenance services
Finnair has contracted furthermore
includes troubleshooting and the elimination of technical defects, as well as software management and the planned and
unplanned replacement of the auxiliary
power unit (APU). Since the launch customer of the A350 – an airline customer
from the Middle East – ­commenced flight
operations to Frankfurt at the beginning
of 2015, Lufthansa Technik was already
able to gain important experience in
the day-to-day maintenance of the new
long-range aircraft.
The A350 is offered with one engine
option only, the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB.
Lufthansa Technik and the engine manufacturer have been cooperating successfully for years, and both companies aim
at including the overhaul of the new
engine type in this cooperation. The joint
venture N3 Engine Overhaul Services is
already preparing for this task.

“Highest technical reliability
from day one”
Dean Raineri is responsible at Lufthansa Technik for preparing the trouble-free maintenance
of new aircraft types from the first day of operations. Using the current example of the Airbus A350,
he explains how Lufthansa Technik’s strong commitment, especially at the beginning of the life
cycle of a new type, pays off for customers when they introduce new fleets.
You’re very much in demand right now
at Lufthansa Technik. What’s behind
your job title?
Dean Raineri: My job title is Project Director
New Aircraft and Infrastructure Development Aircraft Maintenance. But in terms of
content and function, my job is especially
about preparing for the maintenance of
new aircraft types, so I would probably call
myself a Maintenance Readiness Manager.
What projects have you been
involved in recently?
I had project responsibility for the A380
and the 747-8. The 777 Freighter for
­Lufthansa Cargo was the last type whose
introduction I supported actively within the
Lufthansa Group. My current project is
­naturally the Airbus A350, which will be
delivered to Lufthansa in November 2016.
In parallel, Lufthansa Technik – and I
­personally – have been involved in the
development of the 777X for quite a while,
covering maintenance aspects. The 777X
is expected to enter scheduled service in
the Lufthansa Group in 2020.
What is the most important goal of
­preparing for entry into service?
Everything we do is focused on one point:
to structure our preparations so that we
have created the optimal preconditions for
the first day of operations and can handle
anything that might happen. We want this
head start so that we can move into a
solution mode quickly, not just for routine
needs, but also for unusual system behaviors or in the event of damage to the airframe. A good example is our NDT (nondestructive testing) team. With the right
tools, it should be in a position to perform
precise inspections of damages to composite structures. We also do not want to
be caught by surprise when composite
airframe repairs are necessary, so we prepare ourselves preventively.
What are the biggest challenges
during an entry into service?
The most important thing is that all our
organizational units know in due time what
to expect, and are familiar with the new
technological features of the aircraft systems and the changes in relation to current fleets. It’s also critical for us to master
the applications used for documentation.
In the case of the A350, Airbus applied the
new international data standard S1000D
end to end. It’s a truly excellent system: all
the information is networked and the user
of the maintenance documents is guided
precisely to the relevant spot in the documents. The mechanics don’t have to search
as much as in the “old world” and they
find solutions faster. That’s an important
time advantage, especially when you want
to get an aircraft back into the air after an
AOG, for instance. But we need to get
used to this system in a timely manner, too.
What kind of reputation does Lufthansa
Technik have among its customers
for supporting the fleet introductions
of new aircraft types?
I think we’ve earned ourselves an outstanding reputation. Especially at the working
level, we often see very intensive partnerships develop between our mechanics and
the employees of customer airlines. That
helps the airlines when they start operating
new aircraft types, and it helps us too,
because we can collect and exploit experience from our line maintenance activities.
What are the advantages of
Lufthansa Technik’s early
commitment for customers?
Fundamentally, we take advantage of every
opportunity to position ourselves early
towards new aircraft types, gather experience, and use it for the benefit of our customers. The A350 is no exception to that.
For example, as a leading MRO and line
maintenance provider, we were contacted
actively by an airline from the Middle East
that has offered A350 service to Frankfurt
since the beginning of the year. Naturally,
we took immediate advantage of the opportunity and had mechanics trained and
licensed so that we could offer this service
as soon as the first aircraft – literally the very
first A350 ever to enter scheduled services –
was put into operation. I’m convinced that
our early commitment and our product
portfolio make us even more competitive,
New aircraft services | 9
Lufthansa Technik Connection 6.2015
and that the strength of our performance
and our quality are benefits we can pass
on to our customers. In contrast to aircraft
developers and manufacturers, we are
directly responsible every day for the
aircraft that have been entrusted to us for
maintenance, and that creates a very
different affinity for the products we deliver.
What experience has Lufthansa Technik
had with the A350 so far?
In comparison with the introduction of the
last new type, Airbus has taken a big step
forward in the development and maturation
process with the A350. We are pleased
that the OEM listened to the operators and
considered daily operation requirements
during the design process.
It’s important to bear in mind that when
the A380 was new, it introduced technological leaps in the aircraft’s design and in
its systems. The lessons learned ever
since have flowed directly into the A350 –
in the interests of Airbus’s customers, a
demanding level of technical reliability,
and stable operation. This helps us to the
degree that the preparation phase for the
A350 is a little calmer.
So preparations for the A350
are very low-key?
We’re not resting on our laurels. On the
contrary! We’re collecting our own first
operational experience. In parallel we’re
challenging Airbus and even Rolls-Royce
to elaborate on solutions to avoid known
technical deficits on legacy fleets that cost
us, in particular, a lot of time and work during maintenance, and we’re questioning
them until we’re satisfied with the solution.
That’s an ongoing process, and to date both
Airbus and Rolls-Royce have responded
positively to everything. It’s a good example
of how to handle lessons learned.
What challenges and advantages
does the system design of the A350
have for the MRO provider?
The classic aircraft systems haven’t really
changed – compared to the A380 – but the
A350 offers more options for air(craft)-toground communications. Additional communication means cover greater data volumes to be relayed to and from the aircraft,
be it data necessary for monitoring the airplanes’ health or modified software and data
packages to be installed on the aircraft’s
systems. Our proven software configuration
management application developed for the
A380 is being adapted to the A350, of
course. The system is up and running and
we’ve got a lot of experience with it.
What are the challenges of an aircraft
introduction for internal work processes,
and how can airlines use this experiences
for their own fleet introductions?
In our company we naturally have widespread responsibilities. We set up an entryinto-service project to ensure that a seam-
less exchange of knowledge takes place
continuously. Working together and developing joint solutions, ensures that all the
units that are accountable later on during
real operations identify themselves with
the preparation results.
Beyond our classic line services, we
want to offer entry-into-service support
too. Our in-house activities, such as our
preparations for the introduction of the
A350 at Lufthansa, focus strongly on our
own structures; entry-into-service consulting is likely to be important for our other
customers. It supports customers in their
preparations so that the introduction phase
is as smooth as possible.
What are your expectations
towards the upcoming A350
introduction at Lufthansa?
This new aircraft type isn’t unknown. All our
employees are aware and alert and our
people are preparing for it with enthusiasm.
Right now we’re intensively breaking down
that curiosity into real knowledge, which
produces a lot of genuine excitement about
the new technology waiting for us. It’s like
butterflies in your stomach!

Jamila Jadran, Product Manager MRO IT.
Connectivity guaranteed
Perfect integration of the customer with the IT world of the
MRO provider is the basic prerequisite for an optimal material
supply process. Lufthansa Technik accepts a wide range of
industrially relevant platforms.
L
ufthansa Technik offers its customers
seamless IT connectivity and freedom of choice of IT tools that are
used for electronic communication and
data exchange between the customer and
MRO provider. Starting with consulting, the
services include the establishment of possible interfaces, an on-site phase-in, data
transmission as well as ongoing IT support
during the contract period.
Performance, security and ease of use
are important aspects when it comes to
connecting the customer’s IT systems to the
systems at Lufthansa Technik. Lufthansa
Technik offers the widest possible range
of options to ensure that customers are
always provided with the most suitable
solution. Jamila Jadran, MRO IT Product
Manager at Lufthansa Technik, explains the
underlying philosophy:
“Different airlines have different IT landscapes. We try to match every need.
Therefore, we want to be able to cooperate
smoothly with all customers, whether it
comes to material procurement or managing the whole technical operations process
of a customer’s fleet.”
The possibilities start with the direct use
of the Technical Operations WebSuite
manage/m®. The web-based system
developed by Lufthansa Technik is particularly in demand with airlines who want to
receive all services from a single source.
Lufthansa Technik also offers interfaces for
customers using their own IT setup. They
are currently available for a variety of functions within systems such as for example
AMOS and TRAX. Customers can thus
continue to use their trusted solution when
obtaining Lufthansa Technik services. The
relevant interface automatically converts customer requirements into
the Lufthansa Technik system
and process world – a very
favoured solution in regard
to material management.
In addition, customers
can connect to Lufthansa Technik using
the eCommerce platform Aeroxchange.
The interface solution includes services for
customers with a pool agreement, component MRO processes and material sale.
Customer flexibility ensured
The interfaces are configured within days
– an important aspect if there is only a
short period of time between conclusion of
the contract and commencement of service. The customer immediately receives
direct support until the interface is up and
running. This solution gives customers
freedom and flexibility. They can keep their
IT tool of choice – as always, customer
needs take top priority.
The development of the Technical
Operation’s WebSuite manage/m® and
B2B interfaces has not yet reached its
conclusion in the current state. The range
of IT interfaces will expand as there will be
new connections to further IT systems and
functionalities. Also, manage/m® will
­continue to be developed in line with
customer wishes and needs, for example
through integration of various IT tools,
new functions and services.

Sandra Eckstein, Managing Director of Lufthansa Technik
Landing Gear Services, celebrating the occasion.
Landing gear jubilee
Lufthansa Technik Landing Gear Services UK has just celebrated its 25th overhaul
of a landing gear shipset for a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, making the company the most
experienced provider of overhauls for this landing gear type.
A
n aircraft’s landing gear must be
overhauled every ten years
according to the applicable maintenance program. At the end of 2015, 34
Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in operation will
have reached the ten-year mark. Lufthansa
Technik Landing Gear Services UK has
overhauled 25 landing gear shipsets at its
facility in Hayes near London for leading
European, Middle Eastern and Japanese
operators – a volume that represents
approximately 70 percent of the world’s
total overhaul market share for this type of
landing gear. Lufthansa Technik Landing
Gear Services has been fully committed to
this product for as long as the 777 landing
gears have been on the market. The company received authority approval for overhaul of the 777 landing gear in March 2004.
Since then, it has overhauled more than 200
777 landing gear shipsets of all variants
and weight configurations.
In October 2012, approvals from EASA
and FAA for the -300ER type followed and
the company was the first to offer the 777300ER overhaul as an independent MRO
provider. In 2015, the Japanese JCAB
approval was granted. Lufthansa Technik
Landing Gear Services completed the first
overhaul on a 777-300ER in February 2013
for its launching customer – an event that also
marked the first overhaul event performed
by any independent MRO organization.
The highest level of reliability
The experience Lufthansa Technik Landing
Gear Services has gained thus far from
777-300ER landing gear overhauls enables
the company to predict turnaround time
accurately, consult with customers on work
scoping and even identify needed improvements jointly with the OEM (Service Bulletins).
Sandra Eckstein, newly appointed Managing Director of Lufthansa Technik Landing
Gear Services, notes that these facts are
also a perfect foundation for meeting future
demand and developing business further,
especially when the latest generation of
aircraft is soon due for its first landing gear
overhaul: “Our customers expect the most
robust MRO solutions that maintain the
highest level of reliability and quality operations. The successful experience on previous
programs gives us a very high level of
confidence in our ability to achieve the performance criteria set by our customers.”
London-based Lufthansa Technik Landing Gear Services can overhaul all modern
Boeing aircraft landing gears, including
providing several loan and exchange
assets for the different products. The company’s support for the Boeing 777 since its
market introduction has resulted in a
wealth of technical experience and extensive repair capabilities for 777 landing
gears. It is precisely this kind of dedication,
experience and commitment to the best
product for the customer that will continue
to be key success factors to Lufthansa
Technik Landing Gear Services’ expansion
of its customer base.

“An edge in the market”
Interview with Patrick Shine, Managing Director & CEO of Lufthansa Technik Shannon,
on the renaming of the company and its role in the global Lufthansa Technik aircraft base
maintenance network.
What is the unique offering of
Lufthansa Technik Shannon?
Pat Shine: We are the only Lufthansa
Technik facility in Europe that performs
heavy checks on Boeing 757 and 767
aircraft. So, with many other companies
focusing on the A320 and 737, it certainly
gives us an edge in the market. It has
been predicted that the demand for 757
and 767 heavy checks would decline
severely, but we are actually seeing an
increase in demand for these events.
In addition, the majority of the Top 10
Aircraft Leasing Companies are headquartered in Ireland which enables
Lufthansa Technik Shannon to tap into
the aircraft transition business for the
supported aircraft types and we have
successfully developed this service
offering in recent years.
The heavy maintenance business is very
cyclical. How do you adapt to that?
Most airlines are not putting airplanes
down between the end of June and the
end of September, the peak tourist season
in Europe. There has always been a summer gap for passenger aircraft, but it has
become more pronounced in recent
years. This causes a significant challenge
for base maintenance companies.
Aircraft Base Maintenance | 13
Lufthansa Technik Connection 6.2015
We have different responses to counteract this trend. Apart from maximizing our
flexible working hours system, we aim to
get into products that are not so cyclical,
such as heavy maintenance for freighter
aircraft. We also seek to offer overhaul
events for aircraft coming from the southern hemisphere. The season there is the
inverse of ours and there are some operators who are prepared to fly their planes
up here for the quality that is in Lufthansa
Technik facilities and if the price is right.
Which role does the Lufthansa
Technik network play in coping
with this dynamic business?
With the peak demand in the winter season, having a network is definitely a kind of
safety valve. Following completion of the
Lufthansa Technik base maintenance network’s “SixToONE” integration project
there is now a network-wide view of all the
slots we have available. Within this “virtual
company” all locations – Sofia, Budapest,
Malta, Shannon, Hamburg and Berlin,
together with recent start-up Puerto Rico in
the Americas – are working based on the
same standards and on the same planning
basis. This standardization within our virtual company allows us offer alternatives to
our customers or to quickly move work
elsewhere within the network should the
need arise.
Have your business relationships
with customers in Shannon
changed with Lufthansa Technik
bundling its base maintenance
locations in a network?
I think our customers, many of whom are
in fact network customers, more and more
get used to the idea that they can go to any
one of our locations and get the uniform
standard they expect to be delivered. In
essence we are now truly complying with
their expectations in this respect. While
each facility is responsible for its own
result and our performance is measured
through a standard set of Key Performance Indicators, we know that we are all
part of a brotherhood in the network. We
strive to support each other to serve the
interests of our customers.
What’s more, the business we are in is
still a relatively small community where
personal contacts and connections matter
greatly. All the organizations have built up
strong connections with our customers –
be it in engineering, in quality or in materials – and this helps greatly in trying not to
disappoint customers by finding solutions
even when our bays are full.
Our approach is always to try find an
answer to the question: How can we say
Yes to the customer? Now we can do that
with confidence due to the creation of our
network.
The renaming of Shannon Aerospace into Lufthansa Technik Shannon at the beginning of 2015 is bringing
the Lufthansa Technik brand strongly into both the local and national consciousness in Ireland.
Is there a key benefit customers
are looking for in Shannon?
Reliability is very important to our customers, particularly when it comes to the
redelivery date. Being competitive here
actually means delivering the plane when
you say you will, which allows customers
to plan better. When we say the airplane
will be ready on a certain date, we more
often than not hit that date.
Shannon Aerospace has been renamed
Lufthansa Technik Shannon at the
beginning of the year. What is the status?
When we decided we were going to
change the company name, it was a very
emotional day for me as I had joined the
company at the very start of its life. However, I knew the old name didn’t fit any
more with the network concept. Although
Shannon Aerospace was a strong brand,
we didn’t lose anything by changing. On
the contrary, I believe we gained more by
moving to the Lufthansa Technik brand.
The change has been coming along slowly
but surely, and everybody understands
that this is a natural progression as we
continue to improve our business. I believe
that there is widespread acceptance
among employees. We changed our
mindset. We understand and believe that
we are truly part of Lufthansa Technik now.

ustrian Airlines has signed an
exclusive ten-year agreement with
Lufthansa Technik AERO Alzey
for the provision of Engine MRO services
for four PW150A powered Q400 aircraft.
Austrian Airlines, currently operating
18 Q400 aircraft, added the new aircraft
to its fleet in late 2014 and beginning
of 2015.
Austrian Airlines
“After a challenging tendering program
we have selected Lufthansa Technik
AERO Alzey for the PW150A MRO services covering our four additional aircraft
since we trust that they will meet our high

upplying internal and external customers globally with aircraft materials holds many challenges in terms
of logistics. Timely identification of the
required spare parts in particular offers a
variety of options in the supply and return.
Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services has
now developed a new procedure called
gate.control (gate = Global AsseT Expert)
to identify materials in the international
component cycle and enable direct shipping of spare parts from the customer to
the closest MRO operation (Maintenance,
Repair & Overhaul) and back again if
required.
Project Manager Dr. Aaron Scholz from
Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services
explains how it works: “gate.control allows
serviceable and non-serviceable spare
parts to be identified early on. This is
made possible thanks to a remote procedure, which consists of non-influencable
control software, hardware for recording
information and a predefined process,
which defines the responsibilities of all
parties involved.”
Mobile data capture
The aircraft material can therefore be identified already at the customer site. The
central element here is a box of about one
cubic meter in size that was developed
specially for this purpose. It has four overview cameras and an exterior camera,
which are used to produce photographic
documentation of the aircraft material and
the packaging condition. The mobile detail
camera allows the nameplate to be cap-

tured in high resolution so that part and
serial numbers can be checked. A scanner
is used to digitize any accompanying
documents.
More than 90 percent of all aircraft
components at Lufthansa Technik can be
captured in the box. The remaining materials are photographed using the exterior
camera and can therefore likewise be
incorporated in the predefined standard
process. The data capture process is
controlled by software to guarantee that
the information intake is standardized
and handled identically every time.
Direct material routing
The information package is then transmitted
to the responsible technical department
at Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services.
Specially trained employees are responsible
for carrying out the binding identity and
quantity control and also certificate checks.
The material is booked into the Lufthansa
Technik merchandise management system
and the documents created are sent to
the providers locally. This new procedure
allows the aircraft material to be sent
physically from the customer directly to
the MRO operation (and back again if
required) without a Lufthansa Technik
Logistik Services employee having to be
on the ground with the customer.
The gate.control remote procedure
shortens the turnaround times for aircraft
material by up to 45 percent and leads
to reductions in transport costs of up to
40 percent. Moreover, warehousing and
routine costs are minimized and – thanks
to consistent and standardized photo
documentation – data quality is improved.
There are currently three gate.control
boxes available with trained personnel in
Singapore, Mexico and Paris. Additional
boxes are planned with the result that the
number of specially trained employees will
also increase accordingly. A patent has
meanwhile been registered for the procedure and the gate.control box.

Digital damage detection
In close cooperation with the Institute for
Aircraft Production Technology at the
TUHH (IFPT) and the Fraunhofer Institute
for Laser Technology (ILT), two robot based
systems were developed for milling and
welding damaged components. The partner
BCT Steuerungs- und DV-Systeme GmbH
was responsible for path planning and
data transfer, IBG Technology Hansestadt
Lübeck GmbH looked after overall system
integration while TRUMPF Laser- und
Systemtechnik GmbH devoted itself to the
welding aspects of the system integration.
The process starts by digitally detecting
the component damage, using the robot-
controlled optical metrology of the AutoInspect process. The damage data generated is recorded and transferred to the
milling robot and then to the welding robot
for repair. The milling robot first cuts out
the damaged areas (so-called patches)
from the component. To enhance the
quality of the automated repair, a substantial increase in the precision of the milling
robot was achieved during the AutoRep
development phase. The final step of the
repair is performed by the laser welding
robot. Cracks can also be repaired automatically, their repair however does not
even require milling prior to welding.
It became apparent during the research
project that highly individual repair steps,
which require a particular skill set and
occur rarely, can be performed more
effectively manually than with a robot.
Activities such as applying large-scale
patches to combustor components will
therefore still be performed by skilled
workers in the future. The repair robots on
the other hand will be used wherever high
process reliability and productivity are
required. Initially the automated process
chain should be used for repairs to combustor components, such as the outer
liner of the CFM56-5B/-7B engine types,
and then on all engine components with
complex geometries that are rotationally
symmetric, such as cases, and subsequently also on those that are not rotationally symmetric, for example fan blades.

n addition to the inevitable wear and
tear, engine components develop individual damages such as small cracks,
which can only be detected and repaired
with considerable overhead during the
engine overhaul process. In the framework
of its “AutoInspect” research project
Lufthansa Technik has already succeeded
in automating the multi-stage and energyintensive inspection processes and reducing them to a single process step. Within
the “AutoRep” follow-on project, new and
innovative production processes and intelligent automation technology have been
developed. With its automated, adaptive
process chain, AutoRep is expected to
support future manual repair processes.

Productivity increase
With its AutoRep research project, Lufthansa
Technik has succeeded in integrating both
robots and employees in the partly automated repair process. Employees are not
only relieved of monotonous routine tasks
through the use of robots, instead they are
more closely integrated in areas where a
high level of manual skill, creativity and
flexibility are required. With humans doing
what they do best in any case, they remain
indispensable as an essential link in the
new adaptive process chain.
Thanks to the successful development
of an automated adaptive process chain,
productivity is increased and the quality of
the repair is further enhanced. Many other
areas of Lufthansa Technik could also
benefit from the new technology, since all
data can be transferred to other systems
and processes. By the time the research
project concludes at the end of 2015, the
process of industrializing the results, i.e.
implementing them in operation, should
commence.

“Teamwork is what
makes us who we are”
Andreas Britz is an enthusiastic globetrotter with a major fascination for aviation. He has
been working as a Senior Project Manager in the VIP & Executive Jet Maintenance unit in
Hamburg since 2012. And he knows exactly what matters most: teamwork.
Employee Portrait | 21
Lufthansa Technik Connection 6.2015
Andreas Britz checking a cabin structure.
“T
eamwork is what makes us who
we are at Lufthansa Technik,”
says Andreas Britz. “Above all it
is important to trust the team and to exclude
nobody. Solutions for problems often
come from unexpected sources.” Interaction
and a good working atmosphere are a top
priority for the manager. The colleagues
share a joke and a laugh and also breakfast together in the mornings in the core
team. A further important principle is
“Question why! Why question?” Andreas
Britz explains the apparent antithesis:
“In the initial phase when everything is still
relatively simple, I ask the team many
questions about the project, we question
things. In complex work phases on the
other hand, I know that my people always
give their best. Too many questions at this
stage can also be counter-productive.”
Open to change
It was no different when the SOFIA
(Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared
Astronomy) airborne observatory made a
guest appearance in the Lufthansa Technik
hangars in Hamburg. The modified
Boeing 747SP with infrared telescope on
board has been in use since 2010 for
NASA and the German Aerospace Center
(DLR). It allows research to be carried out
into the development of galaxies or the
formation of stars and planetary systems.
The full overhaul of this unique research
jumbo took place at the end of last year
in Hamburg.
“Even we ourselves had never seen an
aircraft of this kind before,” says Andreas
Britz. Work on the unique 747 was an
absolute highlight for everyone in the team
and an amazing challenge. “After all, it’s
not every day you get to have NASA in the
hangar,” smirks Senior Project Manager
Andreas Britz.
The 50-year old took care of this special
overhaul from the outset. As Product Sales
Manager, he was involved in 2012 in
bringing SOFIA to Hamburg for the overhaul. A feasibility study was carried out
initially on the part of Lufthansa Technik –
the special features of the aircraft ultimately
also present special technical challenges
for the overhaul. Take for example, the
four by six meter side hatch in the rear
fuselage, which opens in-flight for the infrared telescope. Or the fact that the 2.7-meter
telescope weighs some 17 tons – making
SOFIA significantly heavier than a regular
Boeing 747SP.
Following the positive project assessment, the issue for Lufthansa Technik was
to convince NASA to place the order for
the overhaul with a company outside
of the United States – something that only
rarely happens. “The DLR, which is
involved in SOFIA, was an important partner for us in this endeavor,” adds Andreas
Britz.
The trust and confidence of the American Space Agency in the German maintenance experts quickly grew during the layover. To such an extent that more tasks
were ultimately assigned than originally
planned. The wing gear support end fitting
is an example of this. “The structure of the
landing flaps in the 747SP is different to
that in the normal version. To remove the
fitting, we had to find a way to move the
beam in front of it. We were so successful
in doing this that NASA then decided we
should do the other side straight away.”
Andreas Britz is always open to change
and not just in terms of where he lives. At
Lufthansa Technik he can look back over a
32-year career, from positions in Germany
as a mechanic and in the U.S. in line
maintenance, in various countries in the
Far East and the Middle East.
Enthusiasm for flying
Britz worked as a mechanic himself for 17
years before moving to the Sales Division
of Lufthansa Technik for a period of ten
years. He is just as much at home with
cultural differences as he is with technical
know-how. “Of course it helps me that I
understand the language of production
precisely,” he says. “I can also see the
customer’s perspective just as easily.” He
caught the much renowned “flying bug”
at a young age. And when he talks today
about how fascinated he was as a young
boy at Frankfurt Airport to see how these
large aircraft can take off at all, one gets
the impression that enthusiasm for flying
still drives him today.
This combination of enthusiasm and
openness to new things can ultimately be
seen today when procedures and processes have to be reorganized. Innovation
is also his main focus here. For example,
he abolished the follow-up lists in his team
during the SOFIA overhaul. Instead there
is a large board in his office on which the
team can place colorful index cards. “We
now have far fewer open questions than
before in the lists. The colleagues often
find a solution themselves before they
write a new card. We therefore only discuss the major problems at our meetings,”
he says as he explains the new system.

Strategic line maintenance partner
The Hungarian low-cost carrier Wizz Air has extended its contract with Lufthansa
Technik Maintenance International for line maintenance services on its A320 fleet
in Romania and Slovakia.
L
ufthansa Technik has been supporting Wizz Air with technical services
since the start of its flight operations
in 2004. The Hungarian carrier already
relies on the Total Component Support
(TCS®) of Lufthansa Technik for many
years, and Lufthansa Technik Budapest
regularly performs base maintenance
checks for its A320 aircraft fleet. In addition, Lufthansa Technik provides wheels
and brakes support und Subcontracted
Continuing Airworthiness Management
Tasks (SCAMT). The new line maintenance
agreement once again underlines the
special partnership between the airline
and the MRO provider. It runs for eight
years from November 2015 and reflects
updated conditions and scopes of work.
“Line maintenance services are critical
to keep Wizz Air aircraft operating on
time, so we’re happy to continue our
relationship in Romania and Slovakia with
Lufthansa Technik Maintenance International as our strategic line maintenance
partner,” said Diederik Pen, Chief Operations
Officer of Wizz Air. “They perform consistently at the level that meets our high standards for reliability and quality and they
continue to manage the increased workscope resulting from our growth while
maintaining a competitive price. That allows
us to keep our fares low and attractive to
our customers in Romania and Slovakia.”

Support at six stations
Lufthansa Technik Maintenance International currently supports Wizz Air with
line maintenance services for 16 A320200 a
­ ircraft in Romania and other countries. Under the new agreement, Lufthansa
Technik Maintenance International will
perform line maintenance at six stations
in Romania and Slovakia, with the possibility of enlarging the network with new
stations. Lufthansa Technik Maintenance
International will look after the airline’s
growing fleet, including the new A321neo
aircraft if they are stationed by Wizz Air
in Romania.
As part of the agreement, Lufthansa
Technik Maintenance International will
­continue to manage the line maintenance network and be responsible for
the entire fleet stationed in these countries. Operations Manager Martin Ebner
is the single point of contact for all line
maintenance issues. The comprehensive
services also include preventive maintenance and performance monitoring of
the fleet managed by Lufthansa Technik
Maintenance International.
Jens Henningsen, Senior Sales Executive Europe of Lufthansa Technik, said:
“For us, the extension of the contract is
very important, as the high service level
of our line maintenance services also
reflects the performance in other areas.”
Reliability and flexibility
Lufthansa Technik Maintenance International is investing considerably in backshops for sheet metal, heavy tooling and
ground support equipment at the stations
Bucharest Otopeni Airport, Cluj Interna-
tional Airport, Timișoara International
Airport, Târgu Mureș International Airport
and Craiova International Airport in
Romania, and Košice International Airport
in Slovakia. The company also evaluates
the setup of a line maintenance hangar
in Romania, to enable even greater
expansion of the scope of work and
independence from weather conditions,
thus avoiding the costs of rotating
aircraft to other stations of Wizz Air.
Ulrich Hollerbach, Chief Executive
Officer of Lufthansa Technik Maintenance
International, commented: “It is a great
honor for Lufthansa Technik Maintenance
International to be selected once again
by Wizz Air and to support the growth of
the carrier as a strategic partner. The
contract is also very important for us with
regard to the line maintenance market
for low-cost airlines in general.”

had to cover a very broad field of
work in the past.
Let me correct that please: I didn’t have
to – I was privileged to. It really was a
wonderful time. We have a broadly
established base of more than 700 customers, many for more than 20 years,
and many of the customer faces have
remained unchanged for the same period
of time. We have built up great trust over
the years and it is paramount that we do
not let this trust down now. Customers
have to be able to rely on us, we will
always deliver what we promised.
I have mixed feelings as I take my
leave. On one hand, there are many
really good friends I won’t get to see as
often. On the other hand, I can leave
with an easy mind: we have grown in the
markets and are very well positioned
with our team – another good reason
why I can happily let go after 39 years.
I would like to take this opportunity
once more to say a big thank you to our
customers for their trust and loyalty, but
also a big thank you to our own team for
the incredible amount we have accomplished as a team in the past years.

Services cut out

Lufthansa Technik’s presence at the MRO Europe underscored
its approach to expanding its industry leadership through powerful
innovations, which ultimately promote the entire sector.
Meet us at...
21 – 22 January 2016 | Lima
MRO Latin America
A conference and a showcase form the
core of the region’s leading MRO event.
Here MRO providers, airlines, OEMs,
lessors, and industry experts meet.
3 – 4 February 2016 | Dubai
L
ufthansa Technik made a valuable
contribution to MRO Europe, which
took place in London in mid-October,
with a series of expert presentations on current issues affecting the MRO industry. The
conference presentation by Product Manager
Carsten Wortmann on the challenges of
introducing new aircraft types, in the concrete
case illustrated with the A350, integrated
seamlessly with the main topic of the event.
New aircraft and engine technologies place
new demands not only on manufacturers and
operators but also on maintenance companies
such as Lufthansa Technik. A dedicated A350
cockpit photo wall exemplified how Lufthansa
Technik’s A350 world-class technical services
are cut out for its customer needs.
The more than 7,000 trade fair visitors
also had the opportunity to find out about
two additional premieres from Lufthansa
Technik. GATE (Global AsseT Expert), a
product innovation from Lufthansa Technik
Logistik Services, celebrated its trade fair
debut. Innovative solutions are needed to
sustain Lufthansa quality and safety levels,
i.e. the entire supply chain must be optimized. GATE Project Manager Dr. Aaron
Scholz highlighted the advantages of the
product in the global material supply chain.
Detailed information on this innovation can
be found on page 16.
MRO Middle East
Finally, the conference participants heard
details of Lufthansa Technik’s “Paperless
Maintenance” program for the first time.
Program Manager Gerald Frielinghaus
explained how the paper-based complaints
system in aircraft maintenance is being
replaced step by step by digital procedures.
With the information available in real-time,
follow-up processes can be started without
delay. And as the time required for documentation/paperwork is reduced, maintenance staff can concentrate on their primary
task, i.e. working on the aircraft. The paperless maintenance ­program thus achieves a
noticeable gain in efficiency.
The MRO Middle East is the opportunity
highlighting all aspects of the MRO
industry in a region with its rapid growth.
Preparing future success
MRO Russia & CIS brings together
Russian & CIS airline technical and
engineering management with MRO
providers, component suppliers
and manufacturers.
Other prominent topics included the potential
of 3D printing processes as well as the possibility to use drones for aircraft maintenance.
The trend toward increasing pressure by aircraft, engine and component manufacturers
on MRO providers, through their entry into
the market for maintenance, overhaul and
repair, was also noticeable at MRO Europe
2015. By developing innovative products and
processes and responding to the challenges
of digitization, Lufthansa Technik illustrated
the path it is taking to remain successful in
the MRO market in the future also.
