What we do

As part of our basic fixed-fee service, SAMM's technical team will:

• Assist you in selecting the best service center and/or maintenance technician for the job.
• Arrange for your aircraft to be ferried to and from the maintenance location (if necessary).
• Establish a three-phase protocol (inspection-approval-repair) for each maintenance transaction to ensure that you stay in control of the process, have the opportunity to review and approve all maintenance decisions, remain "in the loop" throughout the process, and have no surprises when the invoice arrives.
• Give specific written direction to the service centers and maintenance technicians doing the work.
• Use the proven methodology of reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) to achieve the required levels of safety and dispatch reliability and the lowest possible cost.
• Employ condition-directed maintenance (CDM) wherever feasible, rather than time-directed maintenance (TDM).
• Implement a state-of-the-art condition-monitoring program, including regular borescope inspections, spectrographic oil analysis, and digital engine monitor data analysis.
• Minimize expenditures for replacement parts by evaluating lower-cost alternatives (e.g., repairs, PMA equivalents, salvage yards, discounts).
• Minimize unnecessary expense by ensuring that systematic troubleshooting is performed before authorization is given to perform repairs or replace parts.

We do all of this and more for a surprisingly affordable fixed annual fee. And since SAMM’s professional management will almost always result in a reduction of your annual maintenance cost that is substantially greater than SAMM’s annual subscription fee, it’s a win-win situation.
