The benefits of on-board in-flight checkout (OBIFCO) as a maintenance technique were evaluated using a computer simulation. OBIFCO represents on-line performance monitoring of aircraft subsystems by means of digital data techniques. Tactical fighter and transport operations were evaluated in both wartime and peacetime environments. Typical squadron operations, including mission requirements, scheduled maintenance, and unscheduled maintenance, were represented. OBIFCO characteristics were imposed in the form of early warning of impending failures, reduced diagnosis time, and improved diagnosis reliability. A parametric analysis was performed. (Author)
