Aircraft Reliability Analysis and Monitoring Program

Covering the requirements of airworthiness authorities and auditing programs, this course is designed to provide the participants with the fundamental principles, knowledge, and engineering expertise required to model, predict, and evaluate aircraft systems’ reliability and implement a reliability program for maintaining an effective and airworthy maintenance program. After completion of the course, the participants will be able to:

• Demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the fundamental concepts, principles, and process knowledge of reliability engineering and surveillance program
• Implement a proper reliability program for maintaining an effective maintenance program,
• Employ appropriate reliability techniques and methods to identify and protect against dominating failure modes;
• Apply parametric and non-parametric techniques to analyze failure data, select proper models, estimate relevant model parameters, and predict the failure patterns,
• Apply a basic Failure mode effect and consequence analysis,
• Analyze the failure behavior of a typical aircraft multi-unit system
• Assess related risks of a failure,
• Define the building blocks of an airline reliability program within CAMO and associated tasks
• Design and plan for implementation of an effective reliability program
• Establishing a proper reliability review board, and setting a decision making system
• Acquire understanding about Failure Reporting Analysis and Corrective Action System
• Gain knowledge about the fundamentals of equipment warranty and warranty claim

The students will work on a number of extended group projects, case studies, and individual exercises and assignments to strengthen their understanding of each topic. The student needs to give a group presentation in order to receive comments and suggestions for improvement from the other students. Students will receive constructive feedback and guidance from their teachers on their individual assignments. It is expected that students will interact for the purpose of solving a problem, explaining, analyzing, or identifying a feature of the subject.
