Abstract

Manufacturer recommendations and compliance with airworthiness regulator directives are base for the development of aircraft maintenance programs. The regulator obliges aircraft operators to follow guidelines that, in some cases, are inconsistent with the actual use of the aircraft. This results in more or less frequent maintenance work, which is costly. Aimed at efficient and cost-effective aircraft maintenance, this article presents a statistical model for analyzing the reliability of aircraft functional systems. The input data for the simulations were reports from pilots and maintenance personnel. The model was tested for adequacy to confirm its accuracy.
