Development of a reliability program for adjusting aircraft functional check task intervals

The study evaluates an alternative for collection, monitoring and data analysis of functional check tasks during aircraft operation, analyzing new possibilities for adjusting (and extending) their intervals. A system of data collection and storage for a functional check task is proposed and ways to guarantee the quality, integrity, transparency and composition of the information is discussed. Methods to analyze the data are evaluated. Statistical models to monitor and provide subsidies are developed to aid decisions based on confidence level. The information is presented considering adaptation to approved formats and standards such as ATA SPEC 2000 (Chapter 11). Criteria for evaluating effectiveness of tasks and possible cases for extension / adjustment of tasks are developed. A case study is presented showing results that will bring economic benefits to airlines.
