Abstract :
Provides the reader with information about a software model designed to predict availability of an in-flight entertainment (IFE) system. The paper discusses the structure of the model, concept of operations, and future opportunities. The IFE availability prediction model has been designed to assess IFE system availability for a fleet of aircraft using a predefined flight schedule. This assessment is accomplished by simulating IFE unit failures and the time and resources required in restoring IFE system based on a specified maintenance and logistics support system
