A key element of exploitation processes constitutes maintenance operations and tasks. While being conducted in the proper way, they have a crucial effect on achieving the assumed by aircraft designer and operator goals. Properly conducted maintenance operations allow to meet all the technical objects readiness requirements as well as to achieve desired acceptable risk level. Maintenance system effectiveness might be generally a crucial task for company or entity responsible for the maintenance. In this context, particularly relevant become technical object maintenance procedures and tasks developed by their manufacturers. Experience of the article authors quite early shows the need of the mainte-nance programmes modification. Aircraft manufacturers usually are not so eager to develop and implement mainte-nance programme modifications. Presented situation is very much the case in aviation transport. This was the reason why authors of this article decided to prepare and develop this elaboration which might constitute the assistance and supports complex technical objects users in maintenance decision. The main purpose of this article is to present maintenance decisions’ supporting method for the aircraft operators. This article provides guidelines which include a description of risk in the context of aviation maintenance and introduction of some methodologies, tools and criteria that support identification, analysis and evaluation of risk. Authors included idea, how the aircraft preventive maintenance could be used to mitigate aircraft failure risk during flight operations. It also shows how to adopt and develop effective maintenance program using tools for adequate risk analysis, optimal interval assignments, and selection of the most effective maintenance task. Authors presented methodology and de-scribed steps of the logic diagram analysis for the aircraft systems and their components, in order to manage and adopt aircraft maintenance program to fulfil aircraft airworthiness requirements and operational availability. The whole methodology was described on the basis of the F 16 aircraft maintenance system and with reference to the maintenance data.

Maintenance is one of the most important thing in aviation. Maintenance is the process where a systems designed-in level of failure resistance is restored to or as close as economic viable to the most adequate level of the design. In order to conduct maintenance in the right way, each aircraft is required to have a Maintenance Program (MP). There are three main actors relating to the initial development of the MP, which are the manufacturer, the Industrial Steering Committee (ISC) and the Maintenance Review Board (MRB). In the manufacturers, PPH (Policies and Procedures Handbook) process for developing the initial MP is clearly described. The PPH is prepared by the manufacturer and presented to the ISC (Industrial steering committee) for review and approval. ISC then forwards it to the MRB chairpersons and other regulatory authorities for acceptance.Based on MRB review, the manufacturer develop Maintenance Review Board Report (MRBR) and Maintenance Planning Document (MPD). When introducing a new fleet of aircraft into the operator, there is no experience and the organization must follow the MRBR (Maintenance Review Board Report) and MPD (Maintenance Planning Document) when setting up their own MP. It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that their MP is up to date. When a new revision of the MRBR and MPD is released the operator should incorporate the alterations into their MP and update their maintenance system and make the revision active at next suitable opportunity. The next suitable opportunity would be before next major base input or c-check.Perawatan pesawat udara merupakan salah satu unsur penting dalam penerbangan. Perawatan adalah semua kegiatan yang dilakukan untuk mempertahankan pesawat udara, komponen-komponen pesawat udara dan perlengkapannya dalam keadaan laik udara termasuk inspeksi, reparasi, servis, overhaul dan penggantian part. Untuk dapat melakukan perawatan dengan benar, maka setiap pesawat udara diharuskan memiliki Program Perawatan. terdapat 3 (tiga) pihak yang terlibat dalam penyusunan awal Program Perawatan, yaitu pabrikan pesawat udara, the Maintenance Review Board (MRB), dan the Industrial Steering Committee (ISC). Pabrikan berkewajiban membuat Policy and Procedures Handbook (PPH) yang berisi informasi lengkap dan jelas tentang proses penyusunan Program Perawatan Pesawat Awal. PPH kemudian diserahkan kepada ISC yang berkewenang untuk melakukan peninjauan terhadap PPH dan apabila telah memenuhi persyaratan maka ISC mengeluarkan persetujuan terhadap PPH (approval). Selanjutnya, ISC menyerahkan PPH kepada MRB untuk evaluasi dan analisis lebih lanjut. Berdasarkan evaluasi dan analisis MRB, pabrikan membuat Maintenance Review Board Report (MRBR) dan Maintenance Planning Document (MPD). MRBR dan MPD merupakan panduan bagi operator pesawat udara untuk melakukan perawatan pesawat udara dan membuat Program Perawatan pesawat udara sendiri. Namun, operator berkewajiban untuk memperbahatui Program Perawatannya apabila terdapat perubahan MRBR dan MPD dari pabrikan.

This article is dealing with airline industry standards regarding reliability reporting and with practical aspects of reliability program deployment within an operator’s organization. Reliability program is a tool for monitoring the effectiveness of aircraft maintenance program. Apart from being an effective tool for maintenance program development, the reliability program can bring to light flaws in aircraft design, discrepant operational procedures, discrepancies in line and base maintenance. Reliability program is also considered to provide very valuable means for achieving better operational performance (through decreased maintenance-related problems in operation) and increased flight safety. For this reason, reliability programs are mandated by the regulations for all commercial operators. Even though there is a general industry standard regarding maintenance reliability programs, it still has to be customized and optimized by each operator in order to gain the most out of it. Organizational procedures will vary significantly from one operator to another, reflecting the size and structure of the monitored fleet, size of the operator and its engineering power. As maintenance reliability program involves the application of statistic methods in finding systematic negative trends, the bigger the size of the fleet, the more accurate and reliable results can be achieved. This work is outlining the existing airline industry standards and good practice in carrying out maintenance reliability program. KEY WORDS: aircraft maintenance program, maintenance reliability program, flight safety, small airline operator

The Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) is the largest archipelagic country in the world, two thirds of which are is seas, requiring the presence of the KRI in maintaining its sovereignty. Continuity of attendance in carrying out its main duties, the Navy depends on the readiness of the KRI (Indonesian Republic Warship). The Navy's strength development program is bound to the MEF (Minimum Essencial Force), the basic development policy of TNI AL towards minimum principal strength. The main target of MEF is a limited amount but can operate optimally. So we need a program to overcome these problems by maximizing the defense system maintenance program called SPT (Planned Maintenance System). To maximize the planned maintenance system that supports the MEF program requires prioritization in selecting the KRI that will carry out Depo level improvement (Hardepo). The selection of KRI determination that will implement Hardepo has several factors that need to be considered so that it is categorized in a multi-criteria decision environment, then the proposed model becomes an appropriate methodology to accommodate the criteria with the Fuzzy MCDM (Multi Criteria Decision Maker) approach. In this study there are six alternative KRI namely KRI Keris-624, KRI Rimau Island-726, KRI Kerapu-812, KRI Badau-841, KRI Jakarta Bay-541 and KRI Arun-903 where the first priorities obtained are KRI Rimau Island- 726 with a weight value of 0.1778. After the priority is obtained then schedule the duration and availability of Docking at PT PAL Indonesia where all KRI can carry out docking every TW (Tri Wulan) except KRI Arun-903 which cannot carry out docking on TW I 2019.

Quick-and-accurate decision is a primary requirement for achieving a mission’s successfulness in many organizations whether they are militaries or civilians.  The larger and more complex the scope of a mission the longer the time will be needed to perform decision-making. A complex mission such as retaining a sustainable mission of aircrafts deployed in certain remote bases will require a 24-hour of standby on-site or off-site maintenance teams. The most common problem arisen from humans in such situations is the fatigue that can occur anytime to any of them during a continuing mission and of course, it can affect the continuity of the mission and delay or disappoint the mission achievement. In this paper we address the concept of the utilization of Multiagent Collaborative Computation (MCC) paradigm in supporting the decision-making process in aircrafts maintenance during a sustainable mission in remote bases. The ultimate goal of the MCC-based aircraft maintenance system is comprehensive information regarding the maintenance procedures in order to keep the aircrafts serviceable during the mission implementation. In this paper we also present the technique to obtain the comprehensive information as the basis for decision-making called A3S (Arwin-Adang-Aciek-Sembiring) information-inferencing fusion method
