Abstract:
Availability is the measure of the degree of fitness of an aircraft round the clock to perform its
mission. Factors affecting aircraft availability must be carefully understood and monitored in
order to obtain highest possible availability level.
The most influencing factors are: reliability, maintainability, maintenance types and factors
influencing them, reparability, choice and contract, TQM, management, and aviation safety.
We conclude that availability factors, if applied, will lead to higher aircraft availability.
And recommend continue development and modification to enhance availability in the future.
