The requirement analysis of aviation equipment maintenance and supportability under the two-level maintenance system

Abstract

Based on the data of specific airborne equipment, PRICE model is adopted to analyze the impacts of different maintenance concepts for maintenance and supportability costs and operational availabilities. The costs of different maintenance concepts differ a lot with the result of calculations, which will also place a great impact on the equipment operational availability. To further cost estimate and analyze the three-level (level-III) and two-level (level-II) maintenance concepts, the program under a two-level Maintenance System has an advantage on using economics. © 2014 Springer-Verlag.
