MPC 3: MSG-3 Aircraft Maintenance Program Creation Software Tool

An MSG-3 compliant maintenance program creator

Click to see a picture of the software interface...ReliaSoft's MPC 3 software tool is an MSG-3 compliant maintenance program creator for the aircraft / aerospace industry. The software has been designed to assist engineering teams to accurately and efficiently complete aircraft systems and powerplant analysis in accordance with the guidelines of the "MSG-3: Operator/Manufacturer Scheduled Maintenance Development" publication of the Airlines for America (formerly known as the Air Transport Association), which has been accepted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as a guideline for the development of Maintenance Review Board (MRB) reports.

The MPC 3 software was developed in conjunction with Honeywell Aircraft Engines & Systems and based on Honeywell’s MSG-3 Creator 2.0 tool.

Software Features

The MPC 3 software guides you through the entire process for MSG-3 aircraft systems and powerplant analysis —  from the identification of maintenance significant items (MSIs) through the analysis of functions, failures, effects, causes and tasks, to the generation of the final report document.

Applications and Benefits

Some of the benefits from using the MPC 3 software to facilitate the analysis and reporting for MSG-3 aircraft systems and powerplant analysis include:

  • Guides analysts through the process to implement the MSG-3 logic and highlights possible omissions or errors (e.g., failure to categorize an effect, failure to define a suitable maintenance task for a safety issue, etc.).
  • Provides centralized data storage that allows multiple users to cooperate on the analysis and makes it easy to reuse relevant information from prior analyses.
  • Automatically generates the complete maintenance program report document in Microsoft Word®. This report can be generated in a fraction of the time required to manually prepare a report.
