When should you consider adopting an aircraft wire life extension program? Part VII

December 13, 2011 Michael Traskos

Through this series of articles, we have gone over all of the components that are necessary to perform a full risk assessment to maximize wire life extension. In this article, we will examine what a comprehensive risk assessment entails. Read more

When should you consider adopting an aircraft wire life extension program? Part IV

July 17, 2011 Michael Traskos

Subtopic: Applying Technology to your Fleet – Step #1 For purposes of aircraft wire life extension, start with identifying what wires are on the aircraft (see Lectromec’s When should you consider adopting a wire life extension program? Part III article article). It is then necessary to perform a selective sampling of the aircraft. Obviously, the […] Read more

When should you consider adopting an aircraft wire insulation assessment program? Part VI

September 22, 2011 Michael Traskos

SubTopic: Determining the Severity of Failure for wire life extension. A wire insulation assessment is a significant step forward in understanding the condition of the wire system and the topic of aircraft wire life extension for aerospace. However, to achieve a full system risk assessment, the assessment of probability of failure must be combined with […] Read more

When should you consider adopting an aircraft wire life extension program? Part V

August 5, 2011 Michael Traskos

Subtopic: Applying Technology to your Fleet – Step #2 The next step after determining the operating conditions within the aircraft is to review the aircraft from the fleet level. This is if you are considering an aircraft wire life extension program. This fleet level assessment examines utilization; basically, it evaluates the fleet’s variability (age, service […] Read more

When should you consider adopting an aircraft wire life extension program? Part III

July 4, 2011 Michael Traskos

This is the third article in a series addressing the concepts associated with wire life extension and an Electrical Wire Interconnection System (EWIS) analysis of aging aircraft. The When should you consider adopting an aircraft wire life extension program? article addressed some of the fundamental concepts behind risk and risk assessment and how they are […] Read more

When should you consider adopting an aircraft wire life extension program? Part II

June 22, 2011 Michael Traskos

This is the second in a series of articles addressing the concepts associated with an Electrical Wire Interconnection System (EWIS) analysis of aging aircraft. In other words, when to consider an aircraft wire life extension program. The last article addressed the reasons to consider implementing EWIS assessment as part of a wire life extension program. This article […] Read more

When should you consider adopting an aircraft wire life extension program? Part I

June 6, 2011 Michael Traskos

Editor’s Note: This is the first part in a series of articles that addresses the needs of EWIS analysis and aging aircraft. In the course of planning for your aircraft wire life extension program, eventually it becomes necessary to considering the wire system health. Like all other system components, wires (particularly the wire insulation) degrade […] Read more
