Abstract
In order to achieve the required level of system safety, it is often n ecessary to specify scheduled single system check periods for duplicat ed or triplicated systems, where failure of one system is neither indi cated nor evident to the pilot or ground crew. This paper presents the techniques used in the analysis of the A300 tailplane trim actuator s ervice data, for the purpose of identifying a check period and overhau l life, consistent with continued safe economic operation.
