Abstract:

Although largely focused on illustrating the impact ofAverage Sortie Duration ASD changes on Cost per Flying Hour CPFH calculations, this study was also an effort to broadly examine the variety of component failure modes and their influence on aircraft break events during sorties. In conjunction with a notional CPFH calculation moded, correlation and regression techniques were used to examine historical PACAF F-15CD maintenance data, to include Break Rate, Pilot Reported Discrepancies PRD and Total Non-mission Capable for Maintenance TNMCM time. The findings of this research indicate that CPFH will increase as ASD decreases, irrespective of the amount of sorties or hours flown.
