MAINTENANCE AS A FACTOR OF PERFORMANCES

 Effect of maintenance on operations concerns:

◦ safety
◦ service
◦ economy

Technical and economical results are the main concerns

 What is Maintenace?
Maintenace is the perpetuation of design
requirement.
 What is Airworthiness?
Fitness for Fly. “ the plane received a
certificate of airworthiness”

 Two type of Maintenace.

Earlydays-Airplane/systems are quite simple
Take several Hr. of Maintenace time for
every Hr. of Flying
Modern Airplane – More sophisticated Design for
Safety,Airworthiness,Maintainabilty

“ AIRWORTHINESS” Fit To Fly

 (A) Maintenace - Hands-on ‘Nut and Bolt’ labor required to
 accompalish the actual work
 (B) Engineering - Design,Analysis,and Technical assistance
 required to support maintenace work
 (B) Management – Organization,Control,Administration of
 Maintenace Operation
 ENTROPY CONCEPT “ unavailable energy”

 Engineer’s responsibilty - To design the system with high degree

 of perfection ( Low Entropy) as
possible
 within resonable limits
 Mechanics’ responsibilty –The continual increase in entropy
 during the operational lifetime of
equipment

 Two Type of maintenace

 SHEDULE
 UNSHEDULE
 Curve begin to turn downward with time
 -Natural increase in entropy of system
 -Natural deterioration of the system overtime
 System deterioates to some lower level of perfection
 Perform some corrective action; Adjusting,Servicing or some
other form of maintenace to restore the system to its design-
in level of perfection.

 Reduce Entropy--- Preventive Maintenace

 -Usually performed at regular interval

 prevent deterioration to unusable level and keep it in

operational
Condition.
Sometime referr to as “ Scheduleed Maintenace
eg. Daily inspection, Preflight Inspection,200 FH, 100FC
 Curve begin to turn downward with time
 -Natural increase in entropy of system
 -Natural deterioration of the system overtime
 System deterioates to some lower level of perfection
 Perform some corrective action; Adjusting,Servicing or some

Condition.
Sometime referr to as “ Scheduleed Maintenace
eg. Daily inspection, Preflight Inspection,200 FH, 100FC
 ALTHOUGH REDUCE THE ENTROPY, THE SYSTEM
WILL DETERIORATE.

 RATE OF DETERIORATION CHANGE

 SLOPE MAY INCREASE ,DECREASE ,OR SAME

 Preventive( Scheduled)/Unscheduled
 Need to perform corrective action: adjusting,
tweaking, servicing or some other form of
maintenance to restore the designed –in level
of perfection.
 Reduce entropy of its original level.
 Called preventive maintenance and is usually
performed at regular intervals.
 Sometime referred to as scheduled
maintenance.
 Could be daily, every flight, weekly,
200FH,400FH……..
 Curve ‘c’ : the system breakdown rapidly in
low level of perfection.
 Curve ‘ d’: the system breakdown completely
( unpredictable intevals)
Maintenace action necessary to restore the
system are more definite,often requre
extensive testing,
troubleshooting,adjusting,replacment,
restoration or complete overhaul
( Unsheduled maintenace)
 Develop three management techniques:

1.Equipment redundancy( Primary,and back

up)

2.Line Replaceable Units ( LRU)

3.Min. aircraft despatch requirement ( MEL)

 Most commonly fail can be quickly replace on
vehicle.

 Allow the aircraft to be returned to schedule

service without undue delay

 Failed parts can either discarded ,or repaired

This list allows aircraft to be despatch into
service with certain item incorporative
provided that the loss of function does not
effect and safety and operation.
 Process oriented approach

 Task oriented approach

 Use three primary maintenace process to
accomplish the scheduled maintenace action

 Hard Time , On Condition and Condition

Monitoring

 HT& OC : used on components or system

have definite life limits or detectable wear-
out period.
 Is also applied to item having a direct adverse
effect on safety and item subjected to
reliabilty degradation with age.
 Having no maintenace check for that
condition
 Eg. Structure inspection,landing gear
overhaul, replacement of Life Limited
Parts,engine parts.
 Failure prevented process
 Failure prevented process
 Periodically inspected or tested against some
appropriate physical standard ( wear or
deterioration limits)
 Eg. Tyre tread and brake linings,scheduled
borescope of engines
 Engine oil analysic
 In flight engine analysic ( ECTM )
 Measure degradation from norms
 is used to monitor system and components
that cannot utilise either the HT or OC
processes.CM items are operated to failure
and failure rate are tracked to aid in failure
prediction efforts “ operate to failure”
 Involves the monitoring of failure rates,
removal of individual components or system
that do not have definite life times or
noticeable wear-out period.
 Not failure preventing process
 There are no maintenace tasks suitable for
life expectacy
 No requirement to replace the item before it
fails
 Therefore , CM components are operated
until failure occurs and replacement of item is
an unsheduled maintenace action
 CM item usually have no adverse relationship
between age and reliablity
 They exhibit a random failure pattern
 Complex system such as avionics, electronic
components,
 Other system or component for there is no
way o predict failure
 Navigation/ communication equipment,
lights, instrument
 No serious effect on safety or airworthiness
due to redundancy
 Coffee makers, lavatories, IFE
 Uses predertermined maintenace tasks to
avoid in service failure.Equipment redundancy
are sometime used to allow in-service failure
to occur without adversely effecting safety
and operation.
- Reliablity programme is usually employed
( similar to , but more elaborate than , CM
process)
- these component or system whose failure
rates are not predictable and for those
component that have no scheduled tasks.
 MSG-3 technique, failure analysis is
conducted at the highest manageable level of
system instead of at component level in
MSG-3
 MSG-3 logic is used to identify suitable
schedule maintenace tasks to prevent failure
and to maintain inherent level of reliability of
the systems
 There are 3 category: Airframe System
task,Structural task,Zonal task
 1. Lubrication : Replenishing oil , grease
( Reducing friction and/or conducting
away heat)
 2. Servicing : Attending to basic needs of
components and/or system for the
purpose of maintaining the inherent
design capability
 3. Inspection : Exmining and comparison
against specific standard
 4. Functional check : Quantitative check to
determining if function of item performace
within specified limits. This check may
require use of additional equipments.

 5. Operational check : Fulfilling its intended

purpose / failure finding task,does not
require quantitative tolerances or any
equipment other than the item itself.
 6. Visual check: Observation to determine
failure finding task,does not require
quantitative tolerance.
 7. Restoration: Return the item to a specific
standard may vary from cleaning the unit or
replacing the single part up to and including
complete overhaul
 8. Discard: Removal from service at specified
life limit
 1. Environmental Deterioration: The physical
deterioration of an item’s strength or
resistance to failure as a result of chemical
interaction with its climate or environment.
4- MSG-3 Analysis Procedure – Environmental Deterioration

INTERGRANULAR
CORROSION

Chemical action along grain

boundaries, often with little
surface indication.
Can lead to fatigue cracking
in high strength alloys.
4- MSG-3 Analysis Procedure – Environmental Deterioration

EXFOLIATION
CORROSION
Type of Intergranular
corrosion.
Swelling and flaking at
exposed end grain,
particularly extrusions.
4- MSG-3 Analysis Procedure – Environmental Deterioration

UNIFORM CORROSION
Proceeds at a uniform rate over the metal surface.
Produced by micro anode and cathode areas.
Titanium and stainless steels are not sensitive to this corrosion.
4- MSG-3 Analysis Procedure – Environmental Deterioration

GALVANIC
CORROSION

Contact between dissimilar

metals (or metal and CFRP)
in presence of moisture.
4- MSG-3 Analysis Procedure – Environmental Deterioration

MICROBIOLOGICAL
CORROSION
Growth of micro-organisms
in presence of heat and
humidity.
Bacteria, fungi and algae
produce acidic waste
products, leading to
galvanic attack of structure.
4- MSG-3 Analysis Procedure – Environmental Deterioration

FILIFORM
CORROSION Paint damage leading to
spidery traces below the
paint.
Often starts from
discontinuities such as
fastener heads, panel
edges or paint scratches.
Occurs particularly on clad
sheets.
4- MSG-3 Analysis Procedure – Environmental Deterioration

STRESS CORROSION
(form of intergranular
corrosion)
It occurs when tensile
stresses and corrosive
environment occur
concurrently.
Failure can occur well below
the yield point for the material.
Failure can be of the brittle
type (without warning) and
can occur under internal
stress only.

 2. Accidental Damage: The physical
deterioration of an item caused by contact or
impact with an object or influence that is not
a part of the airplane, or damage as a result
of human error that occurred during
manufacture, operation of the vehicle,
performace of maintenace
 3.Fatigue Damage: The initiation of a crack or
crack due to cyclic loading and subsequent
propagation of such cracks.
 MSG-3 process define 3 types of Inspection
Technique
1. GVI : A visual examination that will detect
obvious,unsatisfactory conditions or
discrepancy.
May require removal of fillets or opening or
removal of access door or panels
Workstand , ladders, may be required to
facilitate acces to some components.
 General Visual Inspection
(GVI)

A visual examination of an interior or exterior area, installation or

assembly to detect obvious damage, failure or irregularity. This level
of inspection is made under normally available lighting conditions
such as daylight, hangar lighting, flashlight or drop-light and may
require removal or opening of access panels or doors. Stands,
ladders or platforms may be required to gain proximity to the area
being checked.
 2.Detail Inspection : An intensive visual
inspection of specified detail, or installation.
It is a searh for evidence of irregularity using
adequate lighting, and where necessary,
inspection aids such as mirriors, hand lens,
etc. Surface cleaning and detailed access
procedures may also be required.
 Detailed Visual Inspection
(DVI)

An intensive examination of a specific structural area, system,

installation or assembly to detect damage, failure or irregularity.
Available lighting is normally supplemented with a direct source of
good lighting at an intensity deemed appropriate by the inspector.
Inspection aids such as mirrors, magnifying lenses, etc. may be
used. Surface cleaning and elaborate access procedures may be
required.
 3. Special Detail Inspection : An intensive
examination of a specific location.It is similar
to the detailed inspection but with the
addition of special techniques. This
examination may required technique such as
NDTs… dye penetrant, high powered
magnigication , magnetic particle, Eddy
current etc…
 May require the disassemble of some units
 Special Detailed Inspection
(SDI)

An intensive examination of a specific item(s), installation, or

assembly to detect damage, failure or irregularity. The
examination is likely to make extensive use of specialized
Inspection Techniques and/or equipment. Intricate cleaning and
substantial access or disassembly procedure may be required.
 Ensure that all systems, components, and
installation contained within a specified zone
on aeroplane received adequate surveillance
to determine the security of installation and
general condition. The program packages a
number of general visual inspection tasks,
generated against items in the maintenace
progarme ,into one or more zonal
surveillance tasks.

The Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) / European Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA) requirements
and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations
require the A/C Type Certificate holder (…)
to prepare, revise as necessary and submit for approval
to the relevant Airworthiness Authorities the

initial minimum scheduled maintenance

requirements
that are applicable to a dedicated aircraft family
 Initial scheduled maintenance requirements establishment
requires collaborative work, in order to combine knowledge
and experience, between :
• Customer airlines
• Aircraft manufacturer
• Regulatory advisors

The final aim is to compile a

MRB Report PROPOSAL (or DRAFT)
that is acceptable to the Maintenance Review Board
(MRB)
Once approved by the MRB,
this proposal becomes the MRB Report (MRBR).
“Airline and manufacturer experience in developing scheduled
maintenance for new aircraft has shown that more efficient
programs can be developed through the use of logical decision
process”

The MSG-3 method is a tool

to develop scheduled maintenance tasks

MSG-3 Document
Objective = To present a means for developing the scheduled
maintenance tasks and intervals which will be acceptable to the
regulatory authorities, the operators, and the manufacturers

“A reasonable standard of eyesight is needed for any

aircraft engineer to perform his duties to an acceptable
degree. Many maintenance tasks require a combination of
both distance and near vision. In particular, such
consideration must be made where there is a need for the
close visual inspection of structures or work related to small
or miniature components. The use of glasses or contact
lenses to correct any vision problems is perfectly acceptable
and indeed they must be worn as prescribed. Frequent
checks should be made to ensure the continued adequacy
of any glasses or contact lenses. In addition, colour
discrimination may be necessary for an individual to drive in
areas where aircraft manoeuvre or where colour coding is
used, e.g. in aircraft wiring. Organisations should identify
any specific eyesight requirement and put in place suitable
procedures to address these issues.”
 The CAA, UK makes the following
recommendations regarding hearing:
“The ability to hear an average conversational
voice in a quiet room at a distance of 2 metres (6
feet) from the examiner is recommended as a
routine test. Failure of this test would require
and audiogram to be carried out to provide and
objective assessment. If necessary, a hearing aid
may be worn but consideration should be given
to the practicalities of wearing the aid during
routing tasks demanded of the individual.”
 Centralization of all the documents
