Course # 28335
Reliability & Probability Course
This Reliability and Probability training is designed for aviation Engineers, Technicians and Inspectors. It covers both basic and advanced aircraft and equipment reliability using statistical and probabilistic analytical methods. The course starts with giving the student an understanding of basic statistics then moves on to the introduction of various statistical distributions including Binomial, Poisson, Exponential, Normal, Hyper Geometric, and Weibull. With this foundation, the course applies these statistical methods to aircraft reliability with respect to design, inspections, preventive maintenance, and flight worthiness. Reliability applications include failure modes, effects, and criticality analysis (FMECA), fault tree analysis (FTA), function hazard analysis (FHA), risk determination, fail safe design, redundancy, and zonal analysis. Examples involve real world situations and students will have the opportunity to perform calculations and make decisions using exercises reflective of real world situations.
Course Objectives
