Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RAND Project AIR FORCE'S long term interest in the topic of aging aircraft was rekindled in 1994, when we participated in the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board Summer Study that raised technical concerns about the viability of retaining certain aircraft past their original design lives. In 1997, the National Research Council's report on aging USAF aircraft reinforced those concerns. At that time, we initiated a modest Air Force sponsored research effort focused on emerging technical challenges for aircraft maintenance activities. Last summer we built on that technical background to examine the potential effects that aging aircraft would have on the costs of programmed depot maintenance (PDM) and engine support. The results of that work are documented in the annotated briefing that has been made available to the subcommittee. This year, we have broadened our review to cover other support and modernization activities where aircraft age may affect costs and readiness.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This technical report describes the F-15 programmed depot maintenance (PDM) process as performed at the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center (WR-ALC) in FYs 2004-2006. The average WR-ALC F-15 PDM visit runs behind schedule and lasts about four months. Also, PDM can wait a long time for parts; aircraft move through PDM steps out of sequence, with missing parts catching up with the aircraft when they become available, or cannibalize other aircraft.

Download or read book The Maintenance Costs of Aging Aircraft written by Matthew C. Dixon and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Air Force is grappling with the challenge of aging fleets and the optimal time to replace them. This monograph examines commercial aviation data to draw inferences about aging aircraft that may be relevant to the Air Force. It focuses on "aging effects"-i.e., how aircraft maintenance costs change as aircraft grow older. Although commercial aircraft clearly differ from military aircraft, the aging-effect estimates might help the Air Force to project changing maintenance costs over time.

Download or read book Aging of U S Air Force Aircraft written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-09-30 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the aircraft that form the backbone of the U.S. Air Force operational fleet are 25 years old or older. A few of these will be replaced with new aircraft, but many are expected to remain in service an additional 25 years or more. This book provides a strategy to address the technical needs and priorities associated with the Air Force's aging airframe structures. It includes a detailed summary of the structural status of the aging force, identification of key technical issues, recommendations for near-term engineering and management actions, and prioritized near-term and long-term research recommendations.

Download or read book The Effect on Aircraft Readiness and Sustainability of Depot Maintenance Funding written by and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 1987, the Air Force was faced with large cuts in Depot Purchased Equipment (DPEM) appropriations, which support depot overhaul of airframes and engines, component repair, and other maintenance activities. Recent Program Objective Memorandum (POM) estimates of DPEM requirements have been overstated compared to actual obligations, and that overstating diminishes confidence in the requirements estimation process. Contributing to this crisis of confidence is the observation that previous cuts in DPEM funding have had no discernible effect on peacetime readiness as measured by mission capable (MC) rates. Consequently, the Air Force wishes to quantify the effects of the cuts in DPEM appropriations on peacetime readiness and on wartime sustainability. In this report, we provide preliminary information on that issue. In the event of a shortage of serviceable spare parts, the maintenance and repair personnel of an Air Force squadron have the option of withdrawing the needed parts from its War Readiness Spares kit (WRSK). When a part is withdrawn from the WRSK, it is used to support peacetime operations and the WRSK is not fully capable of serving its intended purpose - at least until a like part in serviceable condition is returned to it. In this case, peacetime MC rates do not decrease, but wartime sustainability does because of the withdrawal of the asset. (jhd).

Download or read book Estimating Aircraft Depot Maintenance Costs written by Kenneth E. Marks and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1981-01-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes a series of parametric equations for use in estimating the depot maintenance cost of new Air Force aircraft, particularly for the five major maintenance categories: airframe rework, engine overhaul, airframe component repair, engine component and accessory repair, and avionics component repair. The equations are intended to provide cost estimates for Defense Systems Acquisition Review Council Milestone II, at which point some design details of major aircraft subsystems (airframe, engine, avionics) are available. The report presents a single set of equations that are the most representative and applicable to the widest range of estimating situations, but presents alternative equations and supporting data and analyses for use by the interested reader.
