GRAND PRAIRIE TEXAS January 30, 2008  - Imagine another flight delay because the in-flight coffee maker or cabin intercom doesn't work? It's happened. With seat-back video, on-demand movies, more audio channels and pending in-flight WiFi access, passenger cabin electronics are rapidly becoming more complex than cockpit systems. Add in the already vital flight systems and communications systems needed to deliver passengers and crews safely to their destinations, airlines and their suppliers face intense pressure to keep their electronics running with virtually no margin for error.

That's why Airbase Services, A Division of Regent Aerospace, the world's largest independent aircraft interior reconfiguration, restoration, refurbishing and refreshing company, purchased a PinPoint II test system from DiagnoSYS Systems. The new test system reduces the time needed to repair or refurbish faulty or outdated electronics on circuit boards controlling on-board communications, in-flight entertainment, galley and avionic systems.

"The PinPoint II brings a level of technology that continues to push our business forward and provides tremendous opportunity in aircraft interior electronics," said Ian Charters, Director, Sales and Marketing, Airbase Services. "It opens up a number of new areas of service that we can offer to our customers that improves our ability to add value, while lowering cost."

Before implementing the PinPoint II tester, technicians in Airbase Services' 130,000-square foot facility swapped good boards for faulty units as a diagnostic tool until they identified the cause of the failure. Since a number of these boards are no longer in production repair/replacement options were becoming a major challenge for turn-time and customer service. Technicians now connect the suspect board to the PinPoint II, run the appropriate Test Program Set (TPS) and get the results within minutes that allow new repairs methods that were previously not available.

Initially, technicians used the PinPoint II in an R&D phase to assess the testers' capabilities and qualify PCBs that would be diagnosed by the system. Using the system this way also provided Airbase Services' technical staff the opportunity to learn how to program the PinPoint II and categorize the failure modes in the replacement inventory stream.

Testing and repairing a control board for the in-flight coffee makers opened Air Services' eyes to possible savings. That operation yielded significant cost savings compared to sending failed boards out for repairs. The company realized a further gain when a good board was rotated back into active inventory in hours instead of weeks.

Energized by its success with the coffee-maker control board, Airbase Services is using the PinPoint II to find faults in onboard telecoms systems, for which it is the OEM provider. Even though the system is no longer manufactured, it continues to be a staple as an in-flight customer service and aircraft to ground communication that will need continued support for the foreseeable future.
