Reactive maintenance
Maintenance activities that are performed to correct identified issues or defects, such as replacing a worn-out belt or a defective valve.
Corrective maintenance
Inspections that are performed due to unexpected issues or defects, such as a malfunctioning sensor or a damaged part
Unplanned inspections
Repairs that are performed to fix a specific problem or fault that is identified during equipment operation or testing.
Fault repairs
Maintenance activities that are performed in response to unexpected equipment breakdowns or failures.
Breakdown maintenance
Shutdowns that are initiated due to safety concerns or equipment malfunctions, such as a fire or a gas leak
Emergency shutdown
refers to the planned and routine maintenance activities that are performed on equipment or assets in order to prevent breakdowns, ensure equipment reliability, and maintain optimum performance.
Scheduled maintenance
Regularly ___ equipment with the correct type and amount of ___ to reduce friction and prevent wear and tear
Lubrication
Conducting regular ___ of equipment to identify wear and damage, such as worn belts, loose bolts, and damaged components
Inspections
___ equipment to ensure accurate measurements and readings
Calibration
___ equipment, such as filters and screens, to prevent clogging and maintain optimal performance
Cleaning
___ parts that wear out over time, such as air filters, oil filters, and spark plugs
Replacement of consumable parts
___ equipment at regular intervals, such as engine ___, to ensure that it is in good working condition
Overhaul
___ equipment with new technology or ___ it with new parts to improve performance and extend its useful life
Upgrades and retrofits
Performing maintenance tasks at set intervals to prevent equipment failure, such as cleaning ducts or changing fluids
Preventive maintenance tasks
Conducting ___ of equipment to detect defects and ensure that it is functioning correctly
Regular testing
Types of unscheduled maintenance
- Corrective maintenance
- Emergency maintenance
- Reactive maintenance
- Predictive maintenance
This type of unscheduled maintenance is performed to address unexpected equipment failures or malfunctions. It aims to restore the equipment to its operational state as quickly as possible.
Corrective maintenance
This is done in response to urgent situations that require immediate attention, such as a safety issue or critical system failure. It aims to mitigate the risks associated with the issue and restore the equipment to its operational state.
Emergency maintenance
This type of unscheduled maintenance occurs when repairs are needed as a result of equipment damage or deterioration. It aims to restore the equipment to its optimal condition and prevent further damage.
Reactive maintenance
This type of unscheduled maintenance involves monitoring and analyzing data to predict and prevent potential equipment failures before they occur. It aims to detect issues early and prevent costly downtime or repairs.
Predictive maintenance
Types of scheduled maintenance
- Preflight checks
- 50-hour inspection
- Annual inspections
- Progressive inspection
includes walking around the plane and inspecting any flight control surfaces and tuselage components for wear and tear and detects. Before the aircraft ever takes to the air, the pilot uses a checklist to ensure every aspect of the aircraft is in safe working order.
Preflight checks
Unlike 100-hour inspection ___ are not required by the FAA. However, because an oil change is necessary at 50 hours, it is generally recommended to pertorm at least a cursory inspection of the aircraft at the same time to prevent any issues trom arising. Preventative maintenance is otten simpler, less expensive, and less time-consuming than emergency, unscheduled maintenance for an issue that could have been prevented with a routine check.
50-hour inspection
are detailed inspections performed every 12 months and are required for any aircraft used for hire, recreational, or flight instruction purposes. An annual inspection is similar in scope to the 100-hour inspection which includes a review of all the aircraft logbooks and testing and inspecting the engine, flight surfaces, flight controls, and avionics. If any issues are discovered, maintenance is performed.
Annual inspection
are also known as phase inspections, and they are typically utilized when an aircraft can t afford to spend a lot of time in the maintenance hangar due to its flight schedule. Specific components of an aircraft are tested and examined for efficiency and safety during each continuous inspection session.
Progressive inspection
Key elements of a successful maintenance management system
- Preventive maintenance program
- Predictive maintenance program
- Corrective maintenance program
- Inventory management
- Work order management
- Performance measurement and reporting
- Continuous improvement
Risks and consequences of neglecting Maintenances
- Safety hazards
- Reduced equipment reliability
- Increased downtime
- Increased repair cost
- Reduced efficiency
- Compliance issues
Benefits of a Well-Executed Maintenance Plan
- Increased equipment reliability
- Decreased downtime and repair costs
- Improved safety
- Better compliance
- Increased efficiency
- Longer equipment lifespan
- Improved maintenance planning
refer to the various inspections and procedures performed on an aircraft to ensure its safety, airworthiness, and reliability. These checks are performed at different intervals and can vary in complexity and scope.
Aircraft maintenance checks
is the most basic type of maintenance check and is
typically performed every 400 to 600 flight hours, depending on the aircraft type.
A check
also known as a light maintenance check, is a more
extensive check that is performed every 6 to 8 months, depending on the aircraft type and usage.
B check
also known as a heavy maintenance check, is a
comprehensive check that is performed every 1 to 2 years, depending on the aircraft type and usage.
C check
also known as a complete overhaul check, is the most
extensive type of maintenance check and is typically performed every 6 to 10 years, depending on the aircraft type and usage.
D check
This type of engine lifetime monitoring only affect parts will undergo maintenance
On condition
Continuous standard engine and instrument monitoring without additional equipment
Engine condition monitoring
it is important to protect an aircraft from long term storage
preservation
The process of bringing preserved equipment out of storage and
black into working order
Depreservation
can include inspecting the engine for wear and tear and gapping, cleaning, and examining the spark plugs. If the
aircraft maintenance crew finds any excessive wear and tear, the
damaged components are replaced to restore the airworthiness of a
plane before it flies.
50-hour inspection
is to ensure that the aircraft is
safe to fly and that all systems are operating as they should. During this
inspection, all major components of the aircraft will be inspected,
including the engine, airframe, control surfaces, and electrical syste
100-hour inspection
