The Canadian Forces have developed an Engine Parts Life Tracking System (EPLTS) to facilitate effective On Condition Maintenance (OCM) of the CF-18/F404 engine. The system tracks 64 parts and modules on the basis of 8 Life Used Index values (LUIs) defined by the engine manufacturer. The LUI values are obtained by the Inflight Engine Condition Monitoring System (IECMS) in the mission computer onboard the CF-18 aircraft. The EPLTS database is updated daily to provide an up to date status of all engines in the fleet. The organization of EPLTS is described and the parameters being monitored are detailed. Various EPLTS capabilities, with respect to critical part life management and analysis, are then reviewed.
