MTUPlus ETM – Capabilities & advantages
• Common platform for all engine and aircraft types

• Graphic interface
• Full thermodynamic model
• Monitoring of different operations (TO,climb,cruise)
• ESN related calibration (also “re-calibration”)
• Automated alerts and reports
• Engine performance analysis and management
• Individual alert levels

• Alarm flag indication based on free rules
(logical and/or arithmetical calculation)
• Free combination of parameters allows early failure detection
• Free adjustable sensitivity allows „Expert mode“

service levels
ECM - Customer service levels
• Automatic data collection & processing (24 hours / 7 days)

• WEB-based MTUPlus ETM system access, including alerting, trending and
Service diagnostic tools, alarm notification
Level I
• Operator performs monitoring and keeps full responsibility
• ECM service provider performs trend monitoring & engineering support incl:
- Watchlist management
- Performance reports
Service - Fault diagnostic and troubleshooting support
Level II
• ECM service provider does the monitoring on behalf of the operator,
but the operator keeps full airworthiness responsibility
• Service Level I and Service Level II in combination,

providing also operator access to the MTUPlus ETM system
Service
Level III
Agenda
• Introduction
• Summary
Summary
ECM operational benefits
• Gives predictive information about engine

abnormal behavior and helps to avoid
unexpected failures
• Supports early line maintenance decisions

to avoid secondary damages and AOG’s
• Supports performance prediction

& optimum aircraft operational planning
• Allows better engine removal planning

& optimized spare engine management
• Leads to early known damage pattern
• Allows optimized off-wing maintenance planning
ECM financial benefits
• Optimized usage of engine fleet
• Minimized unscheduled downtime, and

optimized on-wing times
• Reduced spare engine level requirements
• Increased fuel efficiency and overall fuel

consumption thanks optimized core engine wash
timing
• Lower maintenance cost
MTUPlus ETM benefits
• One single ECM system - for all engine types
• No additional cost for IT & software
• Complete real-time visibility thanks to a 24/7 web-

access via secure customer log-in
• Customized trend analysis based on engine type

and history
• Immediate automatic alarm notification when

performance trend shifts detected, not when OEM
limits are exceeded
• Adjustable “sensitivity” for expert-mode
Thanks you for your attention!
