Abstract:

The Aircraft Maintenance Experience Design Handbook was developed for the Maintenance Policy and Engineering Division of the Naval Air Systems Command. This Handbook presents guideline procedures for evaluating new aircraft quantitative maintainability parameters, establishing weapon system requirements and analyzing component designs. The Aircraft Maintenance Experience Design Handbook is organized into three parts. Parts I and II addressing maintenance at both the Organizational and Intermediate levels while Part III is primarily a discussion of component installations at the Organizational level. Part I contains a description of the technical analysis leading to the development of the Maintainability Index Model MIM. Part II provides the instructions for the application of the model for establishing maintainability requirements and evaluating maintainability predictions. Part II also provides maintainability data on various aircraft and their systems which will aid the user in making procedure adjustments for special aircraft applications. Part III presents quantitative and qualitative information concerning the maintainability attributes of selected maintenance significant component installations. Those installation characteristics that have proven to be effective in expediting or simplifying maintenance are highlighted.
