Description / Abstract:
1. SCOPE:
The study shall be directed to commercial aircraft service and include
engine experience in both
fixed wing aircraft and helicopters covering the time period from 1962
to the present.
1.1 Purpose:
To gather and analyze available service data on aircraft propulsion
turbine engine rotating part
non-contained failures on public record, assess the resulting aircraft
damage, and determine rate
of past occurrences based on these data.
In addition, classify incidents by cause and consequence to identify
areas of greatest concern and
recommend areas for greatest potential improvement.
Finally, evaluate or determine means for evaluation of the penalties
imposed on aircraft systems
to achieve greater levels of containment or recommend alternatives to
containment.
