Pulse MRO

PULSE MRO · PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE

Catch the failure before it grounds the aircraft. Airplanes and eVTOLs, one capability.

Pulse MRO predicts failures, optimizes spares and tracks battery and component health across traditional aircraft and eVTOLs. Agentic for root cause, anomalies and fleet rotation. Deterministic for airworthiness, audit and the regulatory clock. Customized to your fleet.

WITH PULSE MRO

Every tail, part and battery pack tracked, with the failure flagged before it grounds the aircraft.

  1. 1Senses the fleetQAR, FOQA, ACMS, ADS-B, motor controllers and BMS, normalized through Conduit.
  2. 2Predicts the failure30/60/90-day probabilities from your FRACAS and telemetry.
  3. 3Plans the responseSpares, rotation and an audit trail that exports to FAA and EASA formats.

PREDICTION

Failure prediction trained on your own fleet history.

  • 30/60/90-day failure probabilities from your FRACAS, sensor telemetry and maintenance events
  • Anomaly detection flags LRUs whose real failure rate is drifting from the predicted curve
  • Per-LRU digital twin: age, cycles, accumulated stress and remaining useful life against MTBF
  • FRACAS and CAPA feed straight back into the prediction loop
EVTOL

Battery-native for distributed electric propulsion.

  • Battery cycle accounting per pack: every flight, VTOL phase and thermal event
  • Predicts pack replacement weeks in advance
  • Redundancy analysis: which motor, inverter and fan combinations remain safe after a failure
  • Maintenance scheduled across a network of vertiports
SPARES AND ROTATION

Spares and rotation balanced against AOG risk.

  • Weighs inventory cost against AOG risk per station, part and supplier lead time
  • Fleet rotation: when to ground which tail to keep the network available
  • Direct Maintenance Cost per LRU, system, tail and flight hour, with confidence intervals
  • AD and SB impact on DMC, modeled as each one arrives
AUDIT

An evidence chain for every prediction and override.

  • Every prediction, spare order, decision and override logged, immutable and exportable
  • MSG-3 maintenance program document set per the ATA taxonomy
  • Evidence packs drafted against DO-178C, DO-254, 14 CFR Part 194 and EASA SC-VTOL
  • 3D fleet heatmap: predicted failures and DMC overlaid on the CAD model
Quantified outcomes

The numbers the industry is already paying for — without the multi-year platform rollout.

Aviation has spent fifteen years validating what predictive maintenance is worth. Pulse MRO targets the top of that range — on day one, customized to your fleet — and extends the playbook to the parts of an eVTOL traditional tools were never built to handle.
