An Analysis of the Phased Inspection System for B-52H Aircraft.
Abstract
Analysis of a phased aircraft inspection system indicated a wide interval variability between inspections for various aircraft, when the interval was measured in flying hours, calendar days, or sorties between phases. Certain performance measures were identified, such as code 2 and code 3 system malfunctions, late take-offs, mission cancellations, inspect and repair manhours, and aircraft nonavailability. Based on the analysis, costs of phased inspections could apparently be reduced, without a loss of reliability, by increasing the number of flying hours between inspections. (Modified author abstract)
