WORK HISTORY
Aircraft Condition Engineer @Lufthansa Aviation
Munich, DE
Building the Aircraft Health Monitoring program from the ground up for a regional fleet of ~50 aircraft. This involves designing the analytical frameworks, processes, and tooling needed to move from reactive to predictive maintenance operations.Key focus areas- Operational impact reduction — identifying and monitoring fault patterns that drive delays, cancellations, and unscheduled maintenance events- Maintenance cost optimization — translating aircraft data signals into actionable intelligence for engineering and planning teams- Program development — establishing the AHM function as a structural capability within the organization, including tooling, workflows, and stakeholder alignment

ABOUT SANDER VAN LOCHEM
Aircraft don’t fail randomly — the data tells you what’s coming. My work is making sure airlines actually use that data.I build Aircraft Health Monitoring programs from the ground up: the processes, the tooling, the analysis frameworks, and the organizational buy-in needed to turn raw aircraft data into decisions that reduce delays, cancellations, and unnecessary maintenance cost. Currently doing exactly that at Lufthansa Aviation for a regional fleet of ~50 aircraft.My background spans the full aviation engineering spectrum — from EASA Part-21 certification and avionics engineering to aircraft data management and operational reliability. That breadth means I understand both what the data is telling you technically, and what it means operationally for an airline.Besides AHM, I spent several years in Avionics and Human Factors engineering — including eVTOL cockpit certification at Lilium and involvement in Eurocae WG-112. That work sharpened how I think about the interface between complex systems and the people operating them — a perspective I bring directly into how I design monitoring workflows and present findings to operational teams.I’m interested in connecting with others working at the intersection of aircraft data, predictive maintenance, and operational efficiency.
