Abstract:
During the last years, military budgets have been
dramatically reduced and the services have been unable
to acquire sufficient new systems. Military aviation
is one of the areas that have been severely impacted.
The result is that the current fleet faces significant
aging aircraft problems. Aircraft wiring is one of
the areas that have severely affected by the aging
process. Recent accidents involving aging wiring problems
and reduced operational readiness due to aging wiring
have made clear that aging aircraft wiring presents
a difficult and complicated problem for the military
aviation. However, current maintenance practices fail
short in successfully inspecting and maintaining wiring.
The purpose of this thesis is to provide a proactive
management plan to deal with aging wiring. The objective
is to come up with a systematic process in order to
identify and prevent serious failures caused by electrical
faults of wiring systems. This process will be based
on the principle of Reliability Centered Maintenance
(RCM).
