The Effects of Large-Scale Maintenance Actions on the Availability of the Air Force’s Aircraft

Author

  • Congressional Budget Office

Abstract

This report examines the availability of six Air Force aircraft fleets after large-scale maintenance that has occurred since the mid-1990s. CBO focused on modifications that changed the aircrafts’ Mission Design Series designation. Those types of changes usually focus on improving an aircraft’s performance and reliability so as to keep it in the force for an extended time. In most of the cases that CBO examined, aircraft were more available after the maintenance action than would be expected without it.
