Qualitative Maintenance Experience Handbook. P-3C/S-3A Supplement.

Abstract

The Qualitative Maintenance Experience Handbook presents an assessment of the qualitative maintainability features of selected component installations in Navy fighter and attack airplanes. This supplement makes the same assessment for the Navy/Lockheed P-3C and the Navy/Lockheed S-3A patrol and search aircraft. Rather than being an evaluation of the different airplanes, this survey identifies desirable and undesirable maintainability/maintenance significant features evident in the various installations of the same functional component. In essence, it offers an opportunity to review the design treatment of components with significant maintenance histories. This aggregate of experience gained over a spectrum of designs and a broad span of years can be used when making decisions concerning future designs of similar components. This handbook documents the qualitative impact of installation design on the person who must maintain the airplane. (Author)
