(617) Which of these is a lagging indicator under fleet availability?
- A.
Mission capable rate.
- B.
Code 3 break rate.
- C.
8-hour fix rate.
- D.
Air abort rate.
Correct Answer
A. Mission capable rate.Explanation
The mission capable rate is a lagging indicator under fleet availability because it measures the percentage of time that an aircraft is available and capable of performing its intended mission. This metric is calculated based on the number of aircraft that are fully mission capable divided by the total number of aircraft in the fleet. It provides a retrospective view of the fleet's availability and takes into account factors such as maintenance, repairs, and operational readiness. Lagging indicators like the mission capable rate are useful for evaluating past performance and identifying areas for improvement in fleet availability.Rate this question:

(618) Which fix rate time interval is reported for all aircraft other than fighters?
- A.
Four
- B.
Eight.
- C.
Twelve.
- D.
Fourteen.
Correct Answer
C. Twelve.Explanation
The correct answer is Twelve. This means that for all aircraft other than fighters, the fix rate time interval reported is twelve. This indicates that these aircraft have a specific time interval at which they are fixed or maintained. The question is asking for the duration of this fix rate time interval, and the correct answer is twelve.Rate this question:

(618) By consolidating feasible cannibalizations (CANN) to a few aircraft when practical, maintenance can keep which mission capable rate low?
- A.
Fully mission capable (FMC).
- B.
Partial mission capable (PMC).
- C.
Total not mission capable both (TNMCB).
- D.
Total not mission capable supply (TNMCS).
Correct Answer
D. Total not mission capable supply (TNMCS).Explanation
By consolidating feasible cannibalizations to a few aircraft when practical, maintenance can keep the Total not mission capable supply (TNMCS) rate low. This means that by using parts from non-mission capable aircraft to repair others, the supply of spare parts is maintained, reducing the number of aircraft that are not mission capable due to lack of necessary supplies.Rate this question:
