Introduction of the on-condition and condition monitoring concepts will permit a drastic reduction in the number
of scheduled component overhauls. The number of components may have required scheduled overhaul, be for instance
reduced to a figure in the order of 40:1. Other components could remain on-condition, if suitable inspections could
be accomplished to determine the continued serviceability of the component, until the next scheduled
inspection.
An example of a condition based requirement could be to evaluate the component state by comparing a measurement
taken with condition reference data. This can be done by ordering the vehicle to maintenance on a set schedule or
by automatically monitor the component using built-in test equipment (BITE).
