    This document defines key terms used in an aircraft maintenance program. It defines terms like environmental deterioration, failure, failure cause, failure effect, fatigue damage, and functional failure. It also defines concepts like hidden functions and the inherent level of reliability and safety in an aircraft's design. The glossary is included in the aircraft maintenance program to clarify technical language and ensure consistent understanding of important concepts.

    Program Glossary and Definitions

    ENVIRONMENTAL DETERIORATION (ED)


    Physical deterioration of an items strength or resistance to failure as a result of chemical interaction
    with its climate or environment.

    FAILURE
    The inability of an item to perform within previously specified limits.
    FAILURE CAUSE
    Why the functional failure occurs.
    FAILURE EFFECT
    What is the result of a functional failure.
    FATIGUE DAMAGE (FD)
    The initiation of a crack or cracks due to cyclic loading and subsequent propagation
    FATIGUE RELATED SAMPLING PROGRAM
    Inspections on specific aircraft selected from those which have the highest operating age/usage in
    order to identify the first evidence of deterioration in their condition caused by fatigue damage.

    FUNCTION
    The normal characteristic actions of an item.
    FUNCTIONAL CHECK
    A quantitative check to determine if one or more functions of an item performs within specified limits.
    FUNCTIONAL FAILURE
    How an item failed to perform its function.
    HIDDEN FUNCTION
    1. A function which is normally active and whose cessation will not be evident to the
    Operating crew during performance of normal duties.
    2. A function which is normally inactive and whose readiness to perform, prior to it being
    needed, will not be evident to the operating crew during performance of normal duties.

    INHERENT LEVEL OF RELIABILITY AND SAFETY


    That level which is built into the unit and therefore inherent in its design. This is the highest level of
    reliability and safety that can be expected from a unit, system, or aircraft if it receives effective
    maintenance. To achieve higher levels of reliability generally requires modification or redesign.
