Gives a procedure that can be used to predict maintainability parameters of avionics, ground & shipboard electronics at the organisational, intermediate and depot levels of maintenance. Coverage includes: basic parameters of measurement; correlation between predicted and observed values; corrective maintenance task time analysis; total maintenance task time analysis; replacement concept definition.
