quick question that I hope one of you maintainers can answer. from what I understand the airplane goes into 'Phase' about every 400 flight hours. Question is... is that more often than other aircraft that are used in a CAS role? I mean flying at lower altitudes and the stress of manuvering etc. does the way the jet gets used mean that it needs to go into a more serious inspection regemin earlier than say... an F-15E or F-16. I know all three aircraft are constructed differently. I just don't want to say... "the hog goes through Phase inspection more frequently than other jets because of the environment it flies in...etc." Besides I can't remember what the number is for the Viper. Thanks |

The F-16's phase time is 400 hrs as well. Can't speak on the F-15 as it has been over 20 years since I have worked that jet. "face it....perhaps your only purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others!" |

sounds like a standard then... I was thinking that maybe the hog goes thru phase quicker but I guess not. Thanks tho... |

Isn't phase time set by the inspection concept the unit falls under and, what is inspected (-6 requirments) set by the aircrafts FSMP?? Ugly But Well Hung |

Thanks to all. the basic premise was a thought in my head that A-10s needed to be inspected more/or less than other jets doing a similar job... 'more' meaning that they are flying them hard and often. 'less' meaning that other jets are more liable to 'break' in that environment. |

Is it headed that direction? |

A-10 Phase inspections are based on -6 requirements that have changed as the airframe has matured (quite gracefully), and maintenance data has been accrued. When I started working hogs there were 8 Phase inspections at 100 hour intervals (Dice, correct me if I'm wrong). Then it went to 6, 4, and then 2 at 400 hours. It really doesn't have to do with the type of mission it flies at it does the with the maintenance repair data collected. Cheesehead |
