Aircraft Maintenance Management Part 3

Abstract

MAINTENANCE of military aircraft presents a different set of parameters, for example, the aircraft flying rate is much lower with only a few hundred hours per annum compared to airliners which are expected tofly up to 4,000 hours per aircraft per annum. The peacetime military requirement is to meet training objectives whilst maintaining the aircraft ready for war. Civil airlines need to make as much profit as possible — this is not achieved when the aeroplane is on the ground.
