Service Based Failues - What exactly happens when you service the Aircraft?

Featured Replies

Hey Team, 

 

You can guess my question from the topic title.

 

Last night I had my first 250hr service in the NGX. I took the step of making a copy of the .ini for the airframe before and after the service and one that had not been flown.

 

Most if not all of the failure items were different for all three.

 

Now I know that the service based failures are based of Boeing's MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) data, so I was just wondering if anyone knows:

 

1. What when the numbers are changed (in the .ini file) after pressing service is exactly done / covered in the 250hr service, is it a timer reset for some but not others etc?

 

2. Is there somewhere that we can find out exactly is done, what parts of the airframe are looked at and what's done about it?

 

3. What is the service schedule that the Service based failures is based off, is it only just at 250hr intervals or is it based of the A, B, C, D checks etc.

 

As yet the aircraft has been flying fine, to be assumed it would but never guaranteed. 

 

Just curious if anyone else is keeping up with this stuff?  PM me if you want to look at the .ini files to see the differences.
