U.S. Army Helicopter Hydraulic System Reliability and Maintainability Investigation. Volume 1. Document Deficiency Analysis

Abstract

The investigation was performed in order to identify deficiencies in military specifications and standards concerning hydraulic systems in U.S. Army helicopters. The three areas of concern that impact on helicopter reliability and maintainability are: design requirements, qualification test requirements, procedures and practices, and quality assurance provisions and requirements. Documents were collected from DOD sources, supplemented by information from manufacturers' drawings, and Army maintenance manuals. They were analyzed for application to the documentation tree and whether they required major revision, minor revision, deletion, or rewrite. Areas which lacked design documentation were identified for new documentation requirements.
