An Evaluation of the Effects of Depot Maintenance on the Reliability of F-4C and F-106 Aircraft.
Abstract
One of the objectives of the Air Force Depot Level Maintenance program is to maintain and increase aircraft reliability through depot preventive maintenance and repair. The results of this study are based on statistical tests and show that depot maintenance increases the reliability of F-4C and F-106 aircraft for approximately six months or 150 sorties. However, the beneficial affects of depot maintenance diminish thereafter so that aircraft reliability is not increased in the long run. Further, aircraft entering depot maintenance were found to be as reliable as other aircraft not entering depot maintenance. (Author)
