Abstract:

The Qualitative Experience Handbook presents an assessment of the qualitative maintainability features of selected component installations in Navy fighter and attack airplanes. Rather than being an evaluation of the different airplanes, this survey identifies desirable and undesirable features evident in the various installations of the same component. In essence, it offers an opportunity to review the design treatment of components with significant maintenance histories. This data can therefore be used to apply the aggregate experience gained over a spectrum of designs and a broad span of years, when making decisions concerning future designs of similar components. It represents the qualitative impact of installation design on the man who must maintain the airplane.
