    • Mean time to repair (MTTR)

    • Mean time between critical failure (MTBCF)

    • Mean time between downing events (MTBDE)

    • Mean time between maintenance actions (MTBMA)

    Correct Answer
    A. Mean time between critical failure (MTBCF)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Mean time between critical failure (MTBCF). This mission performance indicator is used to measure the average time between failures of mission-essential systems. It focuses specifically on critical failures, which are failures that significantly impact the mission. By measuring the time between these critical failures, organizations can assess the reliability and effectiveness of their mission-essential systems. The longer the MTBCF, the more reliable and robust the systems are considered to be.

    What maintenance events are included when computing for the mean time between maintenance actions (MTBMA)?

    • Scheduled only

    • Unscheduled only

    • Both scheduled and unscheduled

    • On-equipment and off-equipment

    Correct Answer
    A. Both scheduled and unscheduled
    Explanation
    The mean time between maintenance actions (MTBMA) is a metric used to calculate the average time between any maintenance events. This includes both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance events. Scheduled maintenance refers to planned maintenance activities that are performed based on a predetermined schedule, while unscheduled maintenance refers to unexpected or unplanned maintenance actions that are performed as a result of equipment failure or other unforeseen circumstances. By considering both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance events, the MTBMA provides a comprehensive measure of the reliability and availability of equipment or systems.

    Which of the following gives the average time for end items and is an indication of component overall performance?

    • Mean time to repair (MTTR)

    • Mean time between failure (MTBF)

    • Mean time between critical failure (MTBCF)

    • Mean time between maintenance actions (MTBMA)

    Correct Answer
    A. Mean time between maintenance actions (MTBMA)
    Explanation
    Mean time between maintenance actions (MTBMA) gives the average time for end items and is an indication of component overall performance. MTBMA measures the average time between two maintenance actions, which includes both preventive and corrective maintenance. This metric helps to assess the reliability and availability of the component or system. A higher MTBMA value indicates better overall performance, as it means that the component or system requires less frequent maintenance actions, resulting in increased uptime and productivity.

    The two cornerstones of maintenance metrics are fleet availability and

    • Maintenance capability

    • Deployment execution

    • Program execution

    • Airlift capability

    Correct Answer
    A. Program execution
    Explanation
    Program execution is one of the cornerstones of maintenance metrics because it refers to the successful implementation and completion of maintenance programs. This metric focuses on how well maintenance programs are executed, including factors such as adherence to schedules, completion of tasks, and overall effectiveness of the program. By measuring program execution, organizations can assess the efficiency and effectiveness of their maintenance operations, identify areas for improvement, and ensure that maintenance tasks are carried out in a timely and effective manner to support fleet availability and maintenance capability.

    Which of these is a lagging indicator under fleet availability?

    • Mission capable rate

    • Code 3 break rate

    • 8-hour fix rate

    • Air abort rate

    Correct Answer
    A. Mission capable rate
    Explanation
    A lagging indicator is a measurement that reflects past performance and is used to assess the effectiveness of actions taken. In the context of fleet availability, the mission capable rate is a lagging indicator because it indicates the percentage of time that a fleet is available to perform its intended missions. It reflects the historical performance of the fleet in terms of its ability to be operational and ready for missions. Other indicators such as code 3 break rate, 8-hour fix rate, and air abort rate may provide real-time or more immediate information about specific issues or events, but the mission capable rate provides a broader and more comprehensive view of overall fleet availability.

    Which fix rate time interval is reported for all aircraft other than fighters?

    • Four

    • Eight

    • Twelve

    • Fourteen

    Correct Answer
    A. Twelve
    Explanation
    For all aircraft other than fighters, the fix rate time interval reported is twelve. This means that the aircraft's position is reported every twelve seconds.
