Both aircraft operators and manufacturers will benefit from FERMS. With this data, operators can evaluate the reliability and maintainability of their own aircraft compared to industry averages. FERMS gives small-fleet and single-aircraft operators access to accurate, real-time maintenance data that will help reduce costs and increase aircraft reliability by identifying emerging trends regarding component and system failures. This impartial, factual data can be used to support aircraft acquisition and operational management decisions. Manufacturers will be able to review event data to quickly identify areas of improvement, and compare the reliability and maintainability of their aircraft compared to their competitors’ products. The ultimate goal is to have tangible data to influence future aircraft designs. The FERMS program will offer participants improved communications among operators, OEMs, suppliers and service providers.
