Download or read book Insights on Aircraft Programmed Depot Maintenance written by Edward Geoffrey Keating and published by Technical Report (RAND). This book was released on 2008 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This technical report describes the F-15 programmed depot maintenance (PDM) process as performed at the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center (WR-ALC) in FYs 2004-2006. The average WR-ALC F-15 PDM visit runs behind schedule and lasts about four months. Also, PDM can wait a long time for parts; aircraft move through PDM steps out of sequence, with missing parts catching up with the aircraft when they become available, or cannibalize other aircraft.
