ADS-79A-HDBK, AERONAUTICAL DESIGN STANDARD: HANDBOOK FOR CONDITION BASED MAINTENANCE SYSTEMS FOR US ARMY AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS (17 DEC 2009)

ADS-79A-HDBK, AERONAUTICAL DESIGN STANDARD: HANDBOOK FOR CONDITION BASED MAINTENANCE SYSTEMS FOR US ARMY AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS (17 DEC 2009)., This document, an Aeronautical Design Standard (ADS) Handbook (HDBK), provides guidance and defines standard practices for the design assessment and testing of all elements of a Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) system, including analytical methods, sensors, data acquisition (DA) hardware, signal processing software, and data management standards necessary to support the use of CBM as the maintenance approach to sustain and maintain systems, subsystems, and components of Army aircraft systems. This includes the process of defining CBM Credits (modified inspection and removal criteria of components based on measured condition and actual usage) resulting from CBM implementation as well as Airworthiness Credits.
