For the 2008 FBO Survey, AIN sent a postcard inviting 14,781 subscribers to complete the online survey form and e-mailed invitations to 11,151 subscribers. As always, for statistical purposes at least 40 ratings are required for a U.S. FBO to be listed in the final results, or 25 for non-U.S. FBOs. The AIN FBO Survey asks readers to rate FBOs that they frequent in four key categories: line service, passenger amenities; pilot amenities and services; and facilities. For each of the four categories, the survey participant can assign a number from one to 10, one being worst and 10 the highest rating. To arrive at the averages for the categories, each FBO’s ratings for each of the four categories are added, and the resulting sum is divided by the number of responses received for that FBO. The overall average for that FBO is com- puted by adding the FBO’s four category scores and dividing that sum by the total number of responses received in all four categories. AIN received 1,963 properly completed survey returns, for a return rate of 13.3 percent, down from last year’s 22.6 percent and 2,634 completed sur- veys. According to Forecast International, which designed and administered the survey in collaboration with AIN, “This response is still a quite valid basis Tac Air Denver for determining subscriber opinion.” Readers provided a total of 33,725 evaluations for facilities worldwide and added 185 via write-in opinions.

    Engine vibration and health monitoring systems Engine Vibration Monitoring Systems EVM System benefits Engine Vibration Monitoring (EVM) Systems measure rotor out of balance with high indication reliability, and they also provide further functionality that brings large operational and commercial advantages: • Significant reduction of engine balancing costs through the storage of in-flight data for “multi-plane cold trim balance”. • Lower ownership costs via the introduction of digital algorithms to dramatically improve indication reliability. • Use of vibration trending techniques (outside the EVM) to allow condition based maintenance. • Reduction in spares holding costs to airlines with Vibro-Meter’s “universal” EVM. Total system responsibility: Sensing – Signal transmission – Processing Vibro-Meter is in a unique position to provide the total system capability from one source and thus ensure that the complete system is well integrated and functions correctly and reliably. Sensing: Signal transmission: Processing: Vibration sensors capable of operating Range of high performance, low noise EVMs provide vibration indication, up to 650°C with MTBFs upward of engine- and airframe- mounted cable allow airlines to trend vibration data 250’000 flight hours. Vibro-Meter is assemblies. We work closely with and perform condition based one of the few companies worldwide engine and aircraft manufacturers to maintenance decision making. that has the know how to develop and optimise architecture decisions They also record data continuously manufacture such technology. The involving parameters such as: weight, during normal flights, allowing to issue of “where and how to integrate” routing and signal quality. balance engines in a matter of the sensors on the engine is a minutes.
