Aircraft maintenance design aims to identify strategies that render the aircraft reliable for flight in a cost-efficient manner. These are often conflicting objectives. Moreover, existing studies on maintenance design often limit themselves to only one type of maintenance strategy, overlooking other poten...
2.2.1. Aircraft maintenance routing Aircraft maintenance routing (AMR) is to design flight routes for every aircraft to meet the maintenance requirements set by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and individual airline companies. Extensive research works have contributed to AMR through flight schedule...
Inspection and Maintenance 11.3.2.3New rules for small UAS (sUAS) In February 2015, the Department of Transportation and the FAA released aSmall UAS Notice of Proposed Rulemaking(NPRM), a set of regulations that will pave the way for small UAS – those under 55 pounds – to enter the mains...
Operating behind the scenes, aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) is one of the airline industry’s most essential functions. Without it, airlines couldn’t achieve the remarkable feat of safely moving nearly ten million people some 13 billion air miles around the world each day.1 ...
Dogru et al. [24] proposed a hybrid approach combining a pre-defined classifier with a MASK recurrent CNN to improve prediction performance and automate the aircraft maintenance visual inspection process. Tang et al. [25] adopted a CNN for defect detection in composite laminates to improve inspect...
2.7.2. Processing The software tool will use an algorithm to assess all the potential scheduled maintenance scenarios; for each scenario it will calculate the value of the criterion 'lowest total maintenance cost/average reliability outcome'. The lowest value of the criterion will determine the ...
Another advantage is that the engine can be down-rated for low speed conditions, which has a positive effect at maintenance and allows shorter take-off field lengths (TOFL). The explained reduced difference between MTOM and MLM is also the reason why the wing loading based on MTOM is lower...
scheduling, real-time analytics, and improving performance. Currently, companies like C3 AI (Redwood City, California) and Honeywell International Inc. provide software that are working on the fleet of the US Air Force and commercial aircraft carrier companies to provide data for timely maintenance ...
As mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), there are some upper limit restrictions for the cumulative flying hours, number of consecutive flight days and the total number of take-off for an aircraft. Beyond this limit, a number of predetermined maintenance checks of the aircraft mu...
