Business aviation FERMS up maintenance surveillance

摘要

The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) has established a Web-based centralized information clearinghouse of aircraft maintenance and performance data that will create an "ap-ples-to-apples" comparison between manufacturers' data and that of real-world flight operations. NBAA believes that the Forum for Enhanced Reliability and Maintainability Standards (FERMS) will do for quantifying aircraft reliability and maintainability what NBAA's Range Formats (NBAA IFR reserves) do in standardizing aircraft performance.
