C E M 5-2 Reliability Monitoring Programme For Aircraft / Aircraft Components
5-2.1 PURPOSE
5-2.2 PROCEDURE
a) General
To maintain PIA aircraft fleet in continued state of airworthiness, it is ensured that all PIA
aircraft / aircraft components shall be maintained in accordance with approved
maintenance schedule. Such schedule necessitates accomplishment of scheduled and
as well as unscheduled maintenance tasks to maintain inherent design reliability levels
for aircraft / aircraft component.
i. Hard Time
ii. On-Condition
On-condition is also preventative method, but in this case, aircraft system / component /
structure is inspected / tested at specified intervals to determine condition. such an
inspection may reveal need for servicing action. Basic reason for such maintenance is to
remove an aircraft system / component / structure before its failure in service.
Reliability data is collected for aircraft / aircraft components for overall surveillance.
Analysis of collected data shall also indicate performance and effectiveness of PIA
maintenance schedule. Information collected under Reliability Programme shall vary
All collected data is sorted and analysed by Deputy Chief Engineer (Maintenance
Program & Reliability). It shall be assured that any adverse defect rate, trend or apparent
failure is identified. Such aircraft / aircraft components data shall be summarized for
review by Deputy Chief Engineer (concerned) as per allocation of such aircraft / aircraft
components.
Deputy Chief Engineer (concerned) shall then prepare and submit a report against each
investigation providing reasons / justifications and recommended corrective action to
Reliability Review Board (MRB).
Deputy Chief Engineer (Maintenance Program & Reliability) shall prepare instructions for
actions to be taken on identified aircraft / aircraft components, finalized by PIA
Maintenance Review Board. The instructions shall then be despatched to Deputy Chief
Engineer (concerned) for follow-up of the corrective action implementation.
