Abstract
The wear/failure data of brake assemblies of a commercial type airplan e (Fokker F-27) is statistically analyzed, and interpreted in a reliab ility framework. A three parameter Weibull model is used for reliabili ty characterization of the brake assemblies. A spreadsheet format of a nalysis is proposed to analyze the data. This reliability model can be effectively integrated into an aviation facility computerized materia l requirement planning system to forecast the number of brake assembli es needed for a given planning horizon.
