PROGRAM MANUAL
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Reliability Control Program Manual is issued in order to meet CAAV and ICAO
requirement and review and revise to ensure that this Manual accurately describes the
reliability control procedure, instructions and policies that are currently in use by VJC.
This manual is constantly attended to reflect the new changes that improve the
procedures, instructions and policies. The management supervision must keep abreast
for the time and conditions. Improvement of this reliability control program continues in
order to consistently measure and monitor airplane systems and components
performance to maintain the over-all dependability of airplane systems and components
within the acceptable level of economics.

PROGRAM MANUAL
2.1 INTRODUCTION
a) The Reliability Control Program is an event reporting system that monitors and
provides a means of measuring the performance of airplane systems and
components. It also maintains the dependability of airplane systems and
components within the acceptable levels of economics.
b) The event reporting system and data analysis within the program permits swift
identification of adverse trends. If the performance of the systems and components
do not meet established levels or corresponding standards, an alert is issued and
an appropriate investigation is initiated to evaluate and subsequently correct the
problems or deficiencies encountered.
c) VJC shall utilize the MSG2 / MSG3 analysis to determine the effectiveness of the
correct maintenance interval and processes.
d) The approved third party maintenance provider is responsible for data collection and
together with VJC, performs analysis of the data collected, and identifies all
significant problem areas and determines possible corrective actions.
e) VJC, together with the approved third party maintenance provider, shall ensure that
in-depth investigation, analysis of the problem areas, resolving the problems are
identified and implementation of the resolution are performed.
f) The Technical Reliability Group presents the reliability data and proposes
recommended/corrective actions to the Reliability Control Board for review. After
approval by the board, these recommended/corrective actions are implemented.
g) All reliability policies shall be administered by VJC.
h) VJC is fully responsible for the Reliability Program and shall ensure that the
maintenance provider strictly follows the reliability control program policies and
procedures.
i) The Reliability Control Program is a tool to measure the effectiveness of the
Maintenance Program adapted for each aircraft fleet. It is also a tool for adjusting the
same Maintenance Program to its optimum and subsequently reduces maintenance.
RELIABILITY CONTROL
POLICY

PROGRAM MANUAL
2.2 POLICY
a) The Reliability Control Program is designed to provide means of recognizing
deficiencies in maintenance and this renders the controls to correct the problem. In
effect, the Reliability Control Program continuously measures the effectiveness of
the Maintenance Program.
b) Pertinent data from all involved maintenance provider information/data collection
offices are required to be regularly submitted for information purposes.
c) The types of Reliability Program handling which will be integrated into one common
reporting system shall be as follows:
1) Historical Reliability – Looks at the aircraft performances previous history
2) Event Reliability – Focuses on every occurrence of an event, such as Dispatch
Reliability, for recurring defects, etc.
3) Statistical History – Looks at previous events with the aid of statistical analysis
tools
4) Either the VJC or the approved maintenance provider may perform assessment
to determine problem areas.
5) After precisely determining the problem areas as evaluated from the collected
data, VJC and the maintenance provider analyzes and performs the appropriate
corrective or preventive maintenance actions.
6) The maintenance provider tenders notice to the RCB concerning the determined
problem areas.
7) VJC and the approved maintenance provider shall submit the official report
concerning their analysis and corrective or preventive actions performed to the
RCB.
8) RCB shall decide for the approval of the recommended corrective or preventive
actions when such action calls for the revision of maintenance intervals on any
systems or components.
9) VJC engineering department and the approved maintenance provider shall
monitor the effectiveness of the preventive or corrective maintenance actions
taken.
10) The application of this Reliability Program is not intended to yield any reliability
greater than the actual design of the aircraft, its systems and components, but it
shall prevent maintenance practices that may degrade the reliability of the
aircraft, its systems and components.

also called as chargeable flight interruptions.
Any technical flight delays or cancellations
caused by faults in maintenance procedures,
NON-MECHANICAL processes, wrong execution of maintenance actions
and other technical issues that are not mechanical.

b) Procedure
1) As an aircraft system, component, structures or engine experience failure during
operations, it will be determined if such failure is observable or evident to the
flight crew during ground or flight operations.
2) When a failure in any of aircraft system, component, structures or engine is NOT
evident or NOT observable by flight crew during operations and such failure
poses threat or adversely affects aircraft safety during operations then such

failure or defect has a direct adverse effect on operating capability. The flight
crew shall write down the failure or defect into Technical Logbook. The License
Engineer of VJC Maintenance Department and/or Approved Maintenance
Providers by then refer to Technical Logbook and take corrective action to
rectify the defect or failure in accommodated with approved Aircraft or
Component Maintenance Document. All the maintenance action shall be
recorded in Technical LogBook for monitoring and tracking purpose.
6) ECONOMICS effect exists when a failure or defect of any system or component
is observable or evident to flight crew during operations, but such failure or
defect has NO adverse consequence to the SAFETY OF FLIGHT and NO direct
adverse effect on operating capability. If applicable, the flight crew/cabin crew
shall write down the failure or defect into Technical Logbook/Cabin Logbook for
VJC or Maintenance Provider’s License engineers take action if necessary. The
impact by then may be take into evaluation of VJC’s Engineering Department for
future prevention.

For example:
Given the sample monthly number of Pirep of ATA 21 in the year of 2016 and VJC fleet
respective total monthly flight hours:
Pirep 25 33 42 59 37 40
Pirep 44 34 16 31 34 26
First, the monthly rates of Pirep are calculated by dividing the number of Pirep by the
monthly hours, multiplied by 1000

Picking k = 2, our UCL for 12 months in 2016 is:
𝑈𝐶𝐿 = 𝑋̅ + 𝑘 ∗ 𝜎 = 3.9 + 2 ∗ 1.259 = 6.5
Since April is the only month with rate larger than the UCL (6.99 > 6.5), it is the month
over passing limit.
On the other hand, the latest 3 month-rates of ATA 21 Pirep is:

Since 3.85 is also smaller than UCL (6.5), the alert shall NOT be triggered. Below is the

RCP shall take advantage of computing power in order to narrow down precisely
on the failing components. For every month and each part number, the average
Time/Cycle between Installation (TBI/CBI) will be calculated, the Lower Control
Limit (LCL) for each part within specific period of time shall be established. If the
average TBI of a certain part number in 3 consecutive months’ underpass the
LCL, meaning they have short life-time, an Alert shall be triggered.
3) TBI and CBI are time (hours) and cycles of utilization from when the part is
installed until it is removed. RCG shall determine whether a component is time-
sensitive or cycle-sensitive.
