IFS Maintenix

In aviation, we need to do month FMS database uploads. They come out every 28 days :May 29th, 2026 June 26th, 2026 July 24th, 2026 August 21st, 2026 etcIn MXI, to set up a task to track it like this, will need a different REQ for each month.That takes a long time to manage the fleet to put a new task for every month to be able to track the FMS Database with the correct release dates and due dates.How do other airlines who use MXI set up their FMS cycles per month? 

We have been notified from our client that they are expecting to phase out client-side XSLT from browsers where we running Maintenix (we are also currently working through the ICAM upgrade though it will not be done by the time of the phase out). Is there any impact to Maintenix/ICAM with this phase out that we need to raise? My research on Jasperserver implies that it is not impacted.

when i am trying to Login the Maintenix folder in Cloud … getting ‘Internal Server Error’ … any setup we have perform 

Hi Community,We are currently refining our APU life tracking and maintenance deadline control (Requirement Management) process in IFS Maintenix (CAMO).To ensure strict deadline compliance and avoid over-running our limits, we maintain system values on the conservative/safe side (Calculated Value >= Actual Value). To achieve this, we model our APU life tracking by applying a coefficient (APU Ratio) to the incoming flight cycles/hours via a CalculatedUsage Parameter.Our Current Data Flow & Dilemma:We have an "APU RDG" parameter that stores the raw, actual usage values uploaded automatically from ACARS data in real time. We have an "APU Cycle" parameter that utilizes a Calculated Parameter (similar to the CFM56 thrust rating constants) to multiply incoming flight data by the defined APU Ratio constant. Our Production Planning department periodically reviews "APU RDG" and manually adjusts the "APU Cycle" parameter via "Usage Corrections" to align the records.The Challenge:APU operat

IFS Maintenix already have developed API for AeroBuy from AeroExchange few years ago (pre-Covid). Do you know if there is on IFS agenda to add API for AeroRepair ? I know there are Maintenix customer is already using AeroRepair module from AeroExchange and each one is using their internal method of trying to automate processes between Maintenix and AeroRepair.

PPC often has unrecoverable errors without the detail required to troubleshoot further.Often it is not possible to save when this occurs therefore PPC must be closed completely and reopened. Has anyone in the community using PPC experienced this and if so kindly provide feedback. 

Hello, I would like to know among this Maintenix community users, the ones who work with PP&C. I would like to figure if you face same issues or not. The purpose will be to share some workarounds. Many thanks for your replies. Kind regards Djamila

Hi All.I am wondering how other businesses routinely handle a Partial Fail (Reject) of Independent Inspections.Some of our Job Cards contain a mix of rebuild which is not part of the Independent Inspection and parts that are ‘Critical Maintenance Tasks’ which are subject to Independent Inspection.If for whatever reason the Independent Inspection is Rejected, all Steps on the Job Card are Failed. Although it may only be one Step of the Critical Maintenance Task the whole JIC is Failed and a new JIC is required.Our old practice was the new Labour Row added as a result of the Reject was used to record the Barcode of the new Job Card where the New Independent Inspection will be carried out. Which may involve marking some steps in the New JIC as N/A and referring to the old JIC.Our current practice is raising a Found Fault for the discrepancy and not Reject the Independent Inspection. Then assign a specific or Ad Hoc Corrective Task to rectify the discrepancy. This corrective contains a new

Hello,Can someone please share case studies on Production planning and control such as the one on Aircraft IT MRO eJournal  • SPRING 2024 (CASE STUDY: CHINA AIRLINES)?Thank you.

Is it permissible to use HTML Coloured Text  in large text fields, such as JIC Steps?Example<span style="color: #FF0000;"> Red Text Here </span>or <b> <span style="color: #FF0000;"> BOLD Red Text Here </span> </b>It appears to work in our ‘Pre Production’ instance but wondering if there are any side affects. (Jasper Report Work Capture, etc).We are aware of the issue of non-printable characters when copy and paste from MS Office into fields (Unicode errors for apostrophes).Is Html Colour Text likely to create similar errors? Mx Ver 8.3 SP5ThanksRD 

Hi all, I’m currently researching the processes of guarantees and warranties at an airline, in the position as a trainee. The department I work for doesn’t have direct touch with the Maintenix application itself so I’ve come to here to ask my question.Is there any API or other solution available to track guarantees/warranties on part numbers of consumables/rotables/expendables? I’m including all of them, since all of them are affected by contractual agreements and thus need to be monitored for adequate compliance with OAM/OEM.Thanks in advance! 

AF/KL recently experienced different alteration of the IETM link in the IETM page.Typo error in the protocol Linking shutdown the entire document access Created attachement and link incorrect to the documentWe saw that note field synchronized in the Actual and are hold when the Actual is completed.This requires IETM revision process to dispatch Révision Note after each Manual revisionDoes Operators uses this field and IETM protocol linking Are you happy with this feature?The IETM Page / révision process is only covered by EDIT  and there no history log of the change done in the VERY IMPORTANT DATA dispatched over all the Task Card.Following an Authority audit a deviation in the process to maintain and update the IETM link was not robust enough to ensure traceability and control.  What is your experience and how traceability may be improved over this page? 

Hello All MTX users and designer.  How do you proceed when a Technician need to order a Part in MTX which is unknown from the data base?Do you use a Create Part and add Part Requirement (create a MPN in Build in a PART GROUP Batch or Ser only) ? Other solution ?What is the IFS advisory in that process? Thanks 

What could be the underlying reasons for the significant increase in memory usage across all Jasper/Maintenix instances following the recent upgrade to Jasper 9 and Maintenix, and what steps can be taken to diagnose and resolve this issue effectively?

AF/KL is trying to better use ietm protocol,the IETM allow several definition and adapted to the context.Default ContextTask DefinitionContextTask Context However when using the protocol in the jobcard step the Task context is not applied, Is there a technical limitation in the Job Step?Is there a way to write the IETM to make it working?

Southwest Airlines would like to know how other carriers have met item 6 of MNT 1.8.1 y, specifically the deletion of records in Maintenix.  IOSA MNT 1.8.1The Operator shall have a system for the management and control of maintenance records to ensurethe content and retention of such records is in accordance with requirements of the Authority, asapplicable, and to ensure operational records are subjected to standardized processes for:(i) Identification;(ii) Legibility;(iii) Maintenance;(iv) Retrieval;(v) Protection, integrity and security;(vi) Disposal, deletion (electronic records) and archiving.

Hi All, Looking for data model ideas that other operators are using for the Advanced Part Search Feature.When an AMT is assigning Part Requirements to a task, they are likely working from approved data (Non-routine Activity)The OEM data materials generally only specify specifications. How does an operator model their consumable Materials so that the AMT can add them to task by simple adding the specification number only. Qantas has been only a recent adopter of the advanced part search but found this to be a limitation as the search only looks at part name and part number. Our Data model in current sees the OEM Spec as the Part Group code.  

Does anyone assign licenses to Task definitions? I can see some functionality around filtering work and resource/capacity planning, is there any other useful functionality that comes with the application of licenses?

For monitoring and cleanup, We would like to create a list of users that haven’t logged into Maintenix for the last X period. Possibly a query all users of department Y last login before date X.We cannot find historic login for users. 

HelloWhen I buy used parts, some have the Time Since New written as ”UNK”.TSN : UNK　,　CSN : UNKHow do you register parts whose time information is unknown?

For audit purposes, is there a way to determine any Labour Row changes on ACTIVE JICs.  i.e. adding an additional Labour Row,  removal of a complete Labour Row, or removing of Certification/Inspection. Currently this detail is not shown on the Task History Tab. (8.3 SP5 u25.)Or is it possible using a Custom Jasper Report? If so which tables should be included.

Looking to see if any sort of guide or “how-to” manuals exist for how to use Maintenix as a first-time user. Thanks for any help anyone can provide - appreciate it!

We, the ET MRO Planning section, are in need of a long-range Gantt chart generator to support our slot availability analysis. The tool should ideally include: Indicators or warnings when plans exceed available capacity Labels or alerts when overlapping work package plans exist We have reviewed the following options: Long Range Planner (from the Heavy Planner to-do list) Fleet Planner Planning Viewer (From Line Planner to-do list) We would like to request the IFS team’s recommendation or insights:Which of these tools-or any others-would best meet our needs for long-range planning, slot management, and overlap detection?

Southwest Airlines is currently does not track wheel and brake inventory within Maintenix.  We are exploring the possibility of adding the inventory.I am reaching out to other Maintenix users on if they manage their wheel and brake tracking within Maintenix?  And any pros and cons you may have on it.
