04 Jul 2012 – Copernicus Technology Ltd, Europe’s leading innovators in the field of No Fault Found and in solutions to defeat downtime, has previously publicised information on its website about the formation of a UK No Fault Found Working Group (NFF WG) and played an enthusiastic and proactive role in supporting the arrangement of the its first meeting, which was held successfully at Shrivenham on the 3rd of July.

The NFF WG has been established by the ADS MRO&L Network with a view to cutting across organisational boundaries in pursuit of a joined-up approach to solving NFF across the industry.  The decision follows a strategic review of the UK MRO sector in March by  members of ADS (the UK trade association for aerospace, defence and security industries) and the Aerospace, Aviation & Defence Knowledge Transfer Network.  It was recognised that there was an opportunity to strengthen the UK MRO sector's capabilities and competitive edge by making step-change improvements to solving NFF problems, which are estimated to affect the commercial aviation sector to the tune of approximately $200k per aircraft per year.

The first meeting was an outstanding success and is described in more detail in this article  on the ADS website.
