Aircraft Maintenance
Aircraft need effective maintenance. RAF maintenance organisation covers, aircraft, survival equipment, weapons, flight simulators and synthetic trainers, communication and control systems, motor transport, and servicing equipment for all of these. We will concentrate on aircraft maintenance.
Aircraft Maintenance - Policy
RAF maintenance policy balances „preventive‟ and „corrective‟ maintenance. Maintenance organisation has both operational and maintenance objectives to meet.
Aircraft Maintenance – Operational Objectives
Generate aircraft needed to counter surprise attack Support intensive flying over sustained period in NBC environment Support NATO and National commitments Satisfy contingency plans Provide aircraft and equipment needed for peacetime roles (e.g. training and humanitarian aid
Aircraft Maintenance – Maintenance Objectives Minimise costs (manpower and resources) Minimise faults that would have major safety, operational or cost implications Continuously improve reliability and maintainability
Aircraft Maintenance - Preventive
Aim is to reduce the probability of failures, maintain aircraft reliability, and ensure that time and use do not affect aircraft performance.
4 types of maintenance –
Servicing Scheduled Maintenance Condition-based Maintenance Out-of-phase Maintenance
Preventive Maintenance - Servicing
Flight Servicing – between flight replenishment of fuel, oil, oxygen Checking for obvious signs of unserviceability – leaks, cracks, corrosion, excessive oil consumption Check wheels, brakes and tyres Analogous to weekly checking on a car
Preventive...
