Corrosion Tracking and Prediction for C-141A Aircraft Maintenance Scheduling

Abstract

Analysis of corrosion maintenance and utilization histories of C- 141A aircraft has shown that these records can be used to develop a corrosion- prediction model. Exploitation of such a model could result in better efficiency in the use of aircraft, maintenance facilities, and manpower, since corrosion maintenance could be scheduled at the optimum time with respect to repairability, need, and available resources. The USAF Maintenance Data Collection System does not generate sufficiently accurate and consistent records, however, to base a prediction model on existing data. A number of changes to the System would improve the quality of the data sufficiently so that an effective model could be developed. Potential cost benefits are far larger than those needed to effect the changes, hence the recommended changes should be implemented at an early date.
