Abstract
This study proposes a system modeling method for aircraft maintenance program development that adopts condition-based maintenance using aircraft health management (AHM) based on a systems engineering approach, which considers AHM as a system of systems. The metamodel is tailored on the basis of the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) and the NASA Systems Modeling Handbook for Systems Engineering. It is described using the modeling tool "Balus 2.0" (Levii, Inc). The applicability and effectiveness of a maintenance program adopting AHM is analyzed on the basis of the Maintenance Steering Group-3 (MSG-3), and its effectiveness is evaluated using the proposed system modeling method. The proposed method considers the uncertainty of the aircraft maintenance environment related to airline operations in addition to the uncertainty of the aircraft system. The effectiveness of the proposed system is investigated through a sample problem that considers a tire system using a pressure monitoring system as AHM based on the MSG-3 approach. Finally, the limitations of the proposed method are discussed.
