The document discusses methods for extending maintenance check intervals for aircraft to increase availability and reduce costs. It proposes using reliability data from aircraft systems to determine if check intervals can be safely increased through analytical approaches like Weibull analysis. A case study models extending a check C interval from 1600 to 2000 flight hours for a hydraulic system. Statistical tests of reliability parameters from the system's data over several years would need to support the interval extension without adversely affecting safety.

GO, NO GO DECISION The Previous Steps should be repeated for all ATA Systems Go Decision if all systems analysis are support positive results. Systems, those are not satisfied the conditions, should review carefully, by issuing service difficulty reports.
SUMMARY Small Carriers can implement these techniques. Weibull Analysis is a powerful approach which can be used for Non-Group Data and Group Data. To avoid type II error The Previous Steps are subjected to Kolomogrovo Test.
