Field Evaluation of UH-1H Helicopter Inspection Systems. Project Inspect - Phase II.
Abstract
Project Inspect was established to analyze aircraft maintenance scheduled inspections and to design an improved schedule inspection scheme that will function effectively in the era of the volunteer Army. Various priorities associated with preventive maintenance scheduled inspection systems of Army aircraft were studied, and the resulting restructuring of these systems is based on the analysis of historical data and the modeling results of a developed computer program, MAVIS (Model for Analysis of Vehicle Inspection Systems). The output of this effort indicated that proper scheduling of individual component inspections based on failure and failure detection historical data permits an increase in inspection intervals, resulting in increased efficiency and maintenance cost savings. Project Inspect then developed a phased checklist for the UH-1H Helicopter. The implementation of a scientifically derived phased inspection schedule with opened intervals should result in greater inspection efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, and increased operational readiness.
