Asiana Airlines power plant engineer engine maintenance, Seahee Cho, said last month: “As a customer who shared opinions from the initial introduction of RTI, I found this procedure to be a very efficient and realistic alternative.

“The advantages of RTI are various and it is possible to manage the engine history through video recording and shorten the engine repair rotation.

“In addition, live streaming technology can be used for issues not limited to table inspection that require further discussion. I expect this process will enable more convenient and mutual cooperation.”

For airline customers, RTI minimizes customer waiting times, reduces travel time and associated costs and eliminates bottle necks in the engine MRO chain. All results are documented and available in real time to customers.

COVID-19 was the impetus for SR Technics’s development of RTI. The company’s innovation team designed a virtual RTI solution, live from April, that allows the MRO’s customers to follow work on their engines, parts and modules from their home bases.

SR Technics vice president engine services, Owen McClave, said “given the great reduction in travel and face-to-face interactions in recent months, this is another example of how our company has rapidly adapted to market demands while prioritizing the health of our customers and personnel”.
