On-Condition Parts Versus Life Limited Parts : A Trade off in Aircraft Engines

• Maintaining an aircraft engine is both complex and time consuming since an aircraft is an advanced system with high demands on safety and reliability. Each maintenance occasion must be as effective as possible and the maintenance need to be executed without performing excessive maintenance. The aim of this paper is to describe the essence of aircraft engine maintenance and to point out the potential for improvement within the maintenance planning by improving the remaining life predictions of the On-Condition parts, i.e. parts that are not given a fixed life limit.
