Chairman: Mitch Klink, FedEx
The objective of the FCM Subcommittee is to foster the development
of maintenance concepts for digital avionics equipment, promote
the use of BITE and central maintenance concepts.
This includes the development of test equipment system standards
that will allow airlines to achieve commonality of test programs
and transportability of test programs between avionics, airframe
and airline ATE.
A priority is to minimize the impact of No Fault Found (NFF)
and to reduce the cost of routine maintenance. This is achieved
through the development of maintenance tools and improved avionics
maintenance strategies.
