CAMO – Aircraft Reliability Outcome / Reports & Meeting

An aircraft reliability programme will result in publication of a report. The report will demonstrate the tracking metrics such as defect rate per ATA or per Aircraft Type for example. The reliability report will be considered at a reliability meeting, which would cover many varied factors such as:

Repetitive defects.

Unscheduled component removals.

Deferred defects that require additional input from engineering or functions.

Any other maintenance issues noted or apparent.

CAMO – Aircraft Reliability – The value of information.

We have looked previously at some of the considerations with regards to items you may and may not want to include in your reliability programme; of course, the purpose of all the data we gather is to create information we can use to improve reliability of the aircraft.

The reliability programme can be used to monitor the effectiveness of the maintenance plan for the aircraft but can also help us in identifying trends that might come to light.

CAMO – Aircraft Reliability; omitted items from consideration

When we review aircraft reliability we cover a large scope, for example you are considering component reliability, engines, technical delays, repetitive defects and many more.

As we saw last week in our post, we mentioned there are some components that you would not want to consider as a reliability issue – such as a worn tyre as we expect these items to wear, and we expect to replace them.
