I think large parts of the maintenance system are absurd.
It is true that all parts are listed somewhere.
But it is completely WRONG that EVERYTHING wears out.
That is not the case at all.
Only WEARING PARTS should wear out and not all systems.
Tires and brakes are wearing parts.
But the engine is not. It would be a horror if that were the case.
Why should I buy a new engine every few days???
Completely absurd.
Why does an oil tank wear out??? I suspect that there are planes out there that have never had to have an oil tank replaced.
Lightbulbs do not wear out, at least not in a way that can be measured, except that the brightness decreases or then no longer works at all.
There are maintenance intervals and things that should be replaced, such as oil filters, fuel filters, engine oil and hydraulic oil.
Or that you have to top up the oil. A valve is not a wear part and does not cost 10,000 Cr or more.
This is also completely absurd. A valve can break and then have to be replaced during maintenance. But it doesn’t wear out so that I have to keep replacing it.
Electronic systems wear out??? Good Lord.
As I said, everything can break SOMETIMES, but it doesn’t wear out so that I have to keep replacing it.
The way the maintenance system is at the moment, I have to replace the entire aircraft every few days or weeks.
So let’s be honest, who comes up with something like that…
And why do almost all parts in a category cost the same???
Absolutely ridiculous for the most part.
