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

PROGRAM MANUAL

3.1 OPERATION OF RCP


During aircraft maintenance, data is generated and this becomes the source of reference
to evaluate the reliability of the aircraft, its system, structures, components, and
powerplant.
Selected data indicating maintenance performance is collected, segregated,
categorized, and analyzed. The results are then displayed in the form of statistical
reports or charts. The displays provide the means to identify adverse trends and
measurement of current operational experience compared to the past performance.
Hence, effectiveness of the current Maintenance Program is determined.
The displays are produced and included in the monthly Fleet Reliability Reports that
consist of systems, components, and power plant.
Pilot reports, in-flight shutdowns, delays / cancellations, unscheduled engine and APU
removals and unscheduled component removals are tallied and/or charted and/or
assessed to judge the current performance. Control limits together with Performance
Standard are established to trigger the signal to undertake intensive investigation once
these are exceeded.

(MSG) decision logic in all maintenance processes, intervals and program changes.
VJC shall observe the following MSG decision processes:
3.14.1 MSG – 2 DECISION LOGIC PROCESS
The decision logic in MSG-2 observes three (3) maintenance processes in maintaining
the aircraft design reliability as follows:
a) Hard-Time (HT) Process
1) Hard Time is a primary preventive maintenance process that requires an
assembly, subassembly, or a component to be periodically overhauled in
accordance with the applicable overhaul or component maintenance manual.
2) The removal of aircraft component is compiled before it exceeds any specific
Time-Since-Overhaul (TSO) has been reached.
3) After any component has undergone an overhaul following this process, the
same unit time is reset back to zero.
4) Any aircraft components classified as Life Limited Parts under this process are
discarded upon reaching a specific time.
5) Further, the removal of any time schedule aircraft component under this process
may be performed even if it has not yet reached its time limit when any
applicable airworthiness directives.
b) On – Condition (OC) Process
1) This is a preventive maintenance process that will require an aircraft component
or unit to undergo periodic and repetitive checks according to a suitable standard
to determine the condition of the affected unit and to decide if this can continue in
service until the next scheduled check.
2) The periodic check interval may be adjusted based on the operating experience
and under the regulations of the Reliability Program.
3) This process includes the removal of the unit from service prior to experiencing
failure.
4) Checks under this maintenance policy must provide reasonable assurance that
the item will continue to function satisfactorily until the next scheduled check.
5) Aircraft components or units adapting this maintenance process may age in
service until removed due to inability to pass their checks or for other reliability
related reasons.
6) The requirements for an aircraft component to adopt the OC maintenance policy
are as follows:
i. Satisfactory OC check that can determine the deterioration of the component

while in service must be carried out.


ii. The aircraft component concerned does not have a predictable rate of
deterioration prior to its failure.
c) Condition Monitoring (CM) Process
1) CM process is employed in the reliability program or processes when either HT
or OC is not applicable to an aircraft component.
2) CM will first allow component failure to occur first and will rely on substantial
operating data and thorough analysis in order to identify the suitable corrective
action.
3) CM process will only be applied to aircraft units or components if:
i. Failure will not cause any adverse effect on airworthiness of the flight.
ii. Any component failure is immediately detectable by the flight crew.
iii. The component by its inherent design may be operated until failure in-service
without significantly affecting delay rates, operational safety, and/or system
condition.
4) Condition monitoring of an aircraft component is accomplished as follows:
i. Through In-service data such as (but not limited to) flight hours/cycles, time
since new, time since installed, time since last shop visit, etc. The information
should be obtained from the entire population of a component or unit
in the fleet
ii. Through an in-depth analysis conducted to accurately positively determine
the corrective actions to be undertaken.
5) CM monitored components require repair as required only so as to correct
malfunctions as they are encountered in service and then to return these into
service after rectification.
6) CM component removals are analyzed to determine adverse trends. The adverse
trends are then evaluated to ascertain whether a more appropriate maintenance
process is applicable and more effective to be adopted.

a) Most of the time, a factor of 2.0 is used as multiplier on Standard Deviation to
determine either Upper Control Limit (UCL) or Lower Control Limit (LCL).
b) However, in the event that too many Alert Notices are facilitated as a result of
dispersed monthly rates, the multiplying factor can be flexibly adjusted from 2.0 to
3.0 and the UCL and LCL can be recalculated.
c) As a recommended method, it is better to set the multiplying factor so low that it
generates a surplus of Alert Notices, than to set it so high that it misses critical failing
components.

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

4.5.2 Component Reliability


a) MTBUR based Performance Standard
1) The Mean Time between Unscheduled Removal (MTBUR) factor is calculated by
dividing the total unit flying hours of a part number in a fleet by the number of
unscheduled removal of that component within a certain period of time.
𝑈𝑛𝑖𝑡 𝐹𝑙𝑦𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐻𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠
𝑀𝑇𝐵𝑈𝑅 =
𝑈𝑛𝑠𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑑𝑢𝑙𝑒𝑑 𝑅𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑠
2) Or, in the event the Unit Flying Hours is not available or difficult to obtain, the
Aircraft Flying Hours (FH) of fleet wide accommodate with Quantity Unit per
Aircraft (QPA) can be used as equivalent method to calculate MTBUR
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐴𝑖𝑟𝑐𝑟𝑎𝑓𝑡 𝐹𝐻 × 𝑄𝑃𝐴
𝑀𝑇𝐵𝑈𝑅 =
𝑈𝑛𝑠𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑑𝑢𝑙𝑒𝑑 𝑅𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑠
3) For example, in July 2016, the flying unit hours of all the Air-turbine Starter PN
3505582-28 is 435 842 hours, whereas there are 3 unscheduled removals during
that months. Therefore, MTBUR of PN 3505582-28 is 145 281 hours per
unscheduled removal.
4) The MTBUR shall be used to compare with world-wide fleet MTBUR data from
other airline to see if VJC is doing better or worse than others component-wise.
b) TBI/CBI based Performance Standard
1) In the past, the MTBUR factor was used as a main element in determining the
reliability of aircraft components in an airline organization. Due to the lack of
computing power at the time, this number was used as a mean to get an
overview of component well-being in a fleet as it is estimated by using fleet total
utilization and quality per aircraft.
2) As computer processing units have been advancing recently, they now capable
of tracking down utilization time of each component every time they are removed.

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.
4) As an example for aircraft wheel-assembly removals, the average landed cycle
from the last 12 months are used:

Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec

C20500100 213 320 246 - 243 311 223 128 289 214 276 319

5) As calculated similarly to Section 4.5.1, picking multiplying factor k = 2.0, the


Lower-Control limit for PN C20500100 wheel-assembly is 136.58, while the last
average 3 months is 270. August is the only month with the average CBI lower
than LCL, but the average CBI of 3 months is still higher than LCL, therefore
Alert shall not be triggered.
6) Months with no removals shall be omitted from the sample pool. In the sample
case April has no wheel assembly removal, so our sample size is down to 11.
Both MTBUR rate and Average TBI/CBI methods can be used to calculate
component reliability. Depend on situation, Reliability Analyst / Engineer can use one
of those methods for calculation to support triggering alert. But regardless
circumstance, the result of those methods shall be reviewed by Reliability Manager
or Reliability Deputy Manager or higher level.

a) Alert Level severity will be classified based on the number of defects or failure
recurrences as follows:

ALERT FACTORS
LEVELS

0 No repetitive defect or failures reported

When 2 consecutive defect or failure recurred with the same nature


1 during 10 previous consecutive flights regardless any trouble shooting
action had been done.
When 3 consecutive defect or failure recurred with the same nature
2 during 10 previous consecutive flights regardless any trouble shooting
action had been done.
When 4 consecutive defect or failure recurred with the same nature
3 during 10 previous consecutive flights regardless any trouble shooting
action had been done.
When equal or more than 5 consecutive defect or failure recurred with
4 the same nature during 10 previous consecutive flights regardless any

CRITERIA FOR MAIN MAINTENANCE
RELIABILITY CONTROL PROCESS CHANGE
10 Nov 2017
PROGRAM MANUAL

5.3 CRITERIA FOR MAINTENANCE PROCESS CHANGE


a) Check Interval Change is permitted ONLY IF 20% of the fleet has undergone the
check.
b) Airplanes that are used as samples must have utilized 90% of the interval for that
check.
c) The ratio of non-routine to routine task data gathered is not more than 10%.
d) If the ratio is within limits, then the interval maybe escalated or de-escalated.
e) Repeated absence of non-routines during the accomplishment of scheduled or
routine task cards is an indicator that the task might not be applicable and effective,
and hence may be a candidate for deletion in the maintenance program.
f) If PIREP and Vendor shop/teardown reports and findings shows repetitive problems,
and deficiencies exceed alert levels, adding a task to the maintenance program is
generally considered until a permanent solution is found.
g) When any OC tasks on the other hand exceeds alert levels on several events, and
then such task maybe escalated to HT until a permanent solution is available.
h) MSG-2 and MSG-3 is utilized in order to support decision for HT-OC-CM; failure
effect category (FEC) and task selection process.
i) The RCP can provide data to implement task modification resulting in either addition
or reduction of such maintenance tasks.

PROGRAM MANUAL

5.4 MAINTENANCE PROCESS CHANGE CATEGORY

5.4.1 Category 1: Fleet Check Interval Escalation


VJC shall observe the following criteria when considering an interval escalation of heavy
checks (‘C’ or higher):
a) Review of non-routine data from a sample of 10% of fleet size of previously
accomplished checks.
b) Aircraft that are used as samples must have been accomplished at least 90% of the
specified interval for the check.
c) For escalation checks that are phased (i.e., P1, P2, P3, etc.) where a full cycle of the
phases is required to complete the basic check, a 10% sample of each phase must
be included in the non-routine data review.
EXAMPLE: Assume a 20 aircraft fleet size on which the “C” check is phased into
four phased check packages (P1, P2, P3, and P4). Two P1, two P2, two P3, and two
P4 phased check packages (20 aircraft x 10% sample) must be reviewed during the
routine check results review. Note: All decimals will be rounded off to the next higher
whole number.
d) For interval escalation of checks that include AMS items with intervals expressed as
a multiple of the check (i.e., 2C, 3C, etc.), the non-routine data review must include
at least one sample of all such items if these items are to be escalated with the basic
check. This may be obtained either by selecting specific sample checks that include
such items work package, or by conducting an individual review of these items.
e) The maintenance provider shall summarize the escalation proposal in a report for
review and approval of the RCB.
f) Retention of existing check intervals or reduction in check interval will be considered
for those items that should not be extended based from the analysis conducted.
g) The check interval may not be increased greater than 10% at any one time unless
approved by CAAV.
h) Check intervals may be increased again after the sampling requirements have been
attained under the new interval.

5.4.2 Category 2: Individual Maintenance Schedule Item Interval Changes


Any AMS item interval may be increased when:
a) Evaluation of check findings from a representative sample of 10% confirms
acceptable performance. The samples used must have executed 90% utilization of
the current check interval.
b) Removal rates of time monitored components must currently be in clear status and
the time increase must not be in conflict with the corrective action programs resulting
from previous reliability analysis.

2) Evaluation of shop findings relative to wear or deterioration versus the operating
hours since last overhaul or since the last check, as applicable, must confirm
acceptable performance.
c) The shop visit interval for time monitored components may not be increased more
than 10% at any one time without concurrence of CAAV.

5.4.3 Category 3: Short Term Escalations


a) Under normal operating conditions, an established AMS interval cannot be
exceeded.
b) However, an unavoidable condition may eventually exist that may justify a short-term
escalation of an interval for an individual unit or airplane maintenance check.

SHORT TERM ESCALATION PROCEDURE
RELIABILITY CONTROL 10 Nov 2017
PROGRAM MANUAL

5.5 SHORT TERM ESCALATION PROCEDURE


a) Maintenance program time limits or maintenance intervals established by VJC under
the provisions of an approved reliability control program are based on VJC’s and TC
Holder’s periodic statistical analysis of operating performance. These limits tend to
be somewhat conservative since a single value is applied to all aircraft in a fleet or all
components in service in the fleet. In addition, the inability to establish scientifically
precise limits tends to keep these values conservative.
b) Individual STE within a calendar year of a specified time limit for an individual aircraft
or component may be permitted, under controlled conditions, without compromising
safety. One-time extension within a calendar year shall be permitted only when the
interval prescribed cannot be complied due to circumstances which could not have
been reasonably foreseen. The decision to extend must not be influenced by
marketing or financial motivations.
c) Short Term Escalation shall not be applied to the following:
1) Intervals established by an Airworthiness Directive.
2) Life limits specified by Type Certificate Data Sheets, Flight Manuals, or
Manufacturer’s Publications.
3) Certification Maintenance Requirement (CMR) imposed by Maintenance Review
Board Report.
4) Emergency and safety component or equipment.
5) Special Structural Inspection Program or damage tolerance requirements.
6) Transit and Pre-flight Checks.
7) Individual task on a basic check package.
d) The procedure must not be abused or used indiscriminately to cover up maintenance
program implementation shortcomings or poor management.
e) Although the need for a short-term time escalation is the emergence of some
unforeseen shortage or deficiency, its use must be based solely on technical
analysis.
f) Escalation can be authorized only after the history of the affected aircraft or unit has
been carefully analyzed to ensure a knowledgeable decision. In this regard, all
requests shall be supported by a technical justification and that all Airworthiness
Directives or equivalents that are due or will expire during the requested extension
are accomplished prior to the due date before extension
g) Request for short-term time escalation on a maintenance limit due to non-availability
of a replacement part or tooling shall be supported by information on when the
required part or tool was ordered and its expected delivery.
h) For short-term escalation and all justification and supporting documents shall be
submitted to the Head of Engineering/Technical Director and/or Deputy Maintenance

Director before the affected maintenance limit is due unless due to unplanned
operational requirement, with the concurrence of the TQAM.
i) The decision to vary any of the prescribed periods shall be taken only by the Head of
Engineering Department or Technical Director.
j) If the short-term time escalation is applied to a letter check or aircraft maintenance
check composed of maintenance tasks with intervals in the multiple of the basic
check (such as equalized or A check) the next scheduled check interval shall be the
regular check interval less the approved amount of escalation or the amount utilized
thereof whichever is lesser. This is to ensure that all maintenance tasks are in
accordance with the approved maintenance interval.

5.5.1 Short Term Escalation Process


a) VJC Engineering / Planning Management shall evaluate proposed extension
(together with the reliability engineering group if necessary) and provide a technical
justification to the TQAM. If an aircraft/system check limit extension is requested,
attach list of all outstanding carry-overs or deferred items.
b) If extension is requested due to non-availability of a part, support the evidence
shows the non-availability of spare or item (Ex: function Stock Information in AMOS)
and/or submit information on when the required part or tool was ordered and its
expected delivery.
c) If extension is needed for any scheduled aircraft maintenance requirement (letter
check or periodic inspection), review Engineering Publications, maintenance check
package and other applicable maintenance requirements for all related mandatory
Engineering Publications or Airworthiness Directives that have to be complied prior
to the granting of the request.
d) Consolidate all requirements if any, from steps 3 and 4 that must be complied prior to
approval of the requested extension.
e) Include in aircraft workload all pre-condition requirements identified.
f) Perform pre-condition work included in workload.
