An Analysis of Information Sources for the Estimation of Life Cycle Operating and Maintenance Costs of Turbine Engines.

Abstract

This study is an attempt to locate, analyze and evaluate data bases which contain operation and support (O and S) cost data for aircraft engines. The search for these data bases was primarily conducted at Headquarters, Air Force Logistics Command. The study focused upon the Increase Reliability of Systems (IROS) data base, the HO36B DOD Cost and Production Report, the AFM 400-1 actuarial data system, the cost and planning factors in AFR 173-10, aerospace ground equipment data located in the Tables of Allowance, and Component Improvement Program data located at the Deputy for Propulsion, Aeronautical Systems Division. The study of these data bases led to the conclusion that data bases in the Air Force are not well designed for cost data collection and that many data bases are necessary to obtain the total operation and support cost of an aircraft engine.
