Support for maintaining and extending operational life.

Support for maintaining and extending operational life is arranged by sending Sukhoi representatives to audit the aircraft and produce the required paperwork. Sukhoi will arrange for compiling and processing of data on the aircraft's reliability and failure rate (airframe, equipment, etc.). Sukhoi will develop a programme to maintain the aircraft in flying condition and ensure adequate service life.

List of jobs and replacements to extend operational life

A list of tasks and replacements to extend operational life will be developed based on Sukhoi Design Bureau specifications.

Recommendations for updating RE, avionics, flight manual.

Sukhoi will develop recommendations and introduce amendments into the aircraft maintenance programmes based on the Customer's operating environment.

Assessment of accrued time equivalent

The aircraft accrued time equivalent is assessed using a TESTER flight information gathering and processing system.

Extension of operational life in order to arrange for the aeroplane's optimal maintenance schedule

To prolong aircraft life and optimise the maintenance schedule, Sukhoi can develop a maintenance plan for the Customer’s aircraft and arrange for the aeroplane to be audited.
