A typical reliability program collects
and analyzes data from the following sources:
- Unscheduled removal rates
- Confirmed failure rates
- Pilot reports
- Sampling inspections
- Shop findings
- Functional checks
- Bench checks
- Service difficulty reports
- Mechanical interruption summaries
- In-flight shutdown rates
- Other sources the operator considers appropriate
While all of the above-listed sources of information may not be part of every reliability program, the availability of this data provides the operator with a wealth of information that can be used to improve safety of flight and aircraft reliability and to reduce maintenance costs.
