AVMG 3600 Exam 1
Nowlan and Heap's research for United Airlines in 1978 revealed the fallacy two existing
airline maintenance paradigms underlying traditional scheduled preventative
maintenance, including - ANS-useful life of components can be established statistically
so they can be retired before failure
Servicing - ANS-Restore materials intended to be consumed under normal operating
conditions
Reliability in design will result in - ANS-more availability over time as the system is
operated
Partially Mission Capable - ANS-some but not all of intended purposes
Design for Maintainability creates a system that - ANS-can easily be restored to design
specifications while in operation
Design for Manufacturing creates a system that - ANS-can be easily manufactured to
design specifications
Reliability Centered Maintenance is developed for what type of maintenance program? -
ANS-preventative
Nowlan and Heap's research for United Airlines in 1978 revealed the fallacy two existing
airline maintenance paradigms underlying traditional scheduled preventative
maintenance, including - ANS-a components reliability is a function of its age
Maintenance describes actions taken to - ANS-prevent failure of a component or system
Maintainability is the characteristic of a system that refers to - ANS-the ease with which
the system functionality can be restored
"Reliability Centered Maintenance" (RCM) is a philosophy that considers the _____ and
_____ of a component failure; and categorizes ________ accordingly. - ANS-probability,
severity, maintenance on the component
Under "Reliability Centered Maintenance" (RCM), the items classified as "Repair Low"
require a strategy focused on - ANS-on condition approaches
, Matteson and Nowlan's decision-tree approach to preventative maintenance considers
the functional failures that are of most interest to be those that affect: - ANS-safety and
economics
Reliability and Maintainability (R&M) are - ANS-designed-in" by engineers during the
development of the system
What are the two types of aircraft maintenance?
Group of answer choices - ANS-Preventative (Scheduled) and Restorative
(Unscheduled)
_________ focus on minimizing a system's entropy, while _____________ combat the
increase of entropy - ANS-Design engineers; mechanics
An MEL - ANS-Allows deferral of maintenance
Convention piston-driven engines are divided into two categories: - ANS-Horziontally
opposed and radial
What is the role of the mechanic? - ANS-To combat the continual increase in entropy
during the life of the equipment
General Electric is testing its new GEnx engine. Among the various technological
advances, GE boasts the GEnx will - ANS-Have emissions as much as 95% below
regulatory limits
The combination of_______&_________ is responsible for the necessity of
maintenance. - ANS-Entropy and cost
The time of failure can only be predicted on - ANS-11% of the time
Who determines which systems are not required to fly safely? - ANS-PIC
89% of aircraft components must be operated to failure before replacement or repair is
done. This results in the need for - ANS-Scheduled Maintenance
DDG - ANS-Dispatch Deviation Guide
