Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The maintenance problems faced by the operators of civil helicopters that result in high costs are documented. Existing technology that can be applied to reduce maintenance costs and research that should be carried out were identified. Good design practice and application of existing technology were described as having a significant impact on reducing maintenance costs immediately. The research and development that have potential for long range reduction of maintenance costs are presented.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Naval aircraft, the largest portion of Operating and Support (O & S) costs is consumed by maintenance. The effort to reduce O & S costs is part of a Naval Air Systems Command initiative termed Affordable Readiness. Innovative programs are being implemented under Affordable Readiness to maintain safety, sustain readiness, and reduce costs. One program, Integrated Maintenance Concept (IMC), is being developed for the Navy H-60 helicopter. IMC calls for depot-level artisans to be collocated at each squadron facility rather than at a central facility. Integrating appropriate organizational level maintenance tasks with germane subsets of the depot level tasks is the essence of the H-60 IMC. Reduced aircraft maintenance costs and out-of-service time are the major benefits of IMC. As part of the transition to IMC, current organizational, intermediate and depot maintenance requirements are being reviewed for applicability and effectiveness. The result of this review will be a new listing of justified preventive maintenance tasks. The tasks will then be grouped into admissible maintenance evolutions that attempt to minimize total aircraft out-of-service time. This thesis explores the potential synergism inherent to certain preventive maintenance task groupings that can lead to an overall reduction in aircraft out-of-service time. A prototypic optimization-based decision support model is developed. The solution presented is in terms of total cost in hours to perform all required tasks over a given time horizon. Additionally, the optimal task groupings are identified. Together, these results are insightful for developing a preventive maintenance program.

This book was released on 1997-09-01 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the depot maintenance processes of naval H-6O helicopters. Budget and political climate issues are discussed. Aircraft Service Period Adjustment (ASPA) deferral rates, Standard Depot Level Maintenance (SDLM) turnaround time, depot maintenance direct labor and material costs, and projected backlog using depot requirements and funding are examined. Data analysis indicates a need for significant process improvements or radical changes to depot processes. The Integrated Maintenance Concept (IMC) will consolidate organizational and depot level maintenance at fleet locations. IMC offers several advantages over traditional depot maintenance methods. Using regression analysis, the direct costs of SDLMs conducted at the Pensacola Naval Aviation Depot from 1987 to 1995 were used to estimate direct costs of depot maintenance based on: aircraft age, the projected level of depot maintenance, and employment (operational versus training). Within the scope of this research, a weak correlation existed between the direct labor costs and aircraft age and employment as explanatory variables; direct material costs showed a higher correlation: for total direct costs, these two variables explained 34.4 percent of the variation. Incorporating additional explanatory variables, such as flight hours prior to SDLM, may improve the model. Finally, recommendations are made to facilitate the transition to Integrated Maintenance, emphasizing data collection requirements and data analysis techniques to better estimate maintenance and funding requirements.
