The influences of aircraft size and technology are discussed. It is suggested that the maintainability is affected by the philosophy of the aircraft manufacturer and the design and by the following factors: size of the aircraft; technology used in the aircraft and their systems; age of the aircraft (e.g., hours since new/cycles since new); complexity of the installed engines and systems; qualification of maintenance personnel and inspectors required; special tools and their availability; sophisticated test equipment; size of hangars and other facilities; choosen maintenances systems; reliability monitoring; product and material support by manufacturers; product improvement by manufacturers; and feedback of operator's experience to manufacturers.
