Description

Remedial Action

Lack of Maintenance Managed Items needed during the rebuild of modified aircraft has led to an impact on schedule, cost, and performance.

Renegotiate Maintenance Managed Items critical need dates with installation contractor. Negotiate Maintenance Managed Items provision with Item Managers. Cannibalise Maintenance Managed Items from other aircraft in work.  

This is a realised risk from 2009-10 in that a Long-term Hornet aircraft availability may be affected by Ageing Aircraft issues beyond the scope of the modification, leading to an impact on performance.

Business case developed under Hornet Structural Assurance Consolidation Program (HSACP) detailing immediate remediation requirements and assessment of further Ageing Aircraft issues.
