Methods used in controlling dispatch reliability of 727 jet transport during design by Boeing Co; dispatch delays experienced by airlines on 707-120B and 720B fleets through 82,187 departures were categorized by ATA systems and individual components; by comparison of each 727 system component or subassembly with its 707/720 counterpart as to parts per component, duty cycle, design, operating environment and accessibility, delay factors were computed which expressed expected 727 delays as fraction of 707/720 delays; overall 727 delay factor was found to be 0.43 relative to 707/720 delays, and 727 dispatch found to be 0.43 relative to 707/720 delays, and 727 dispatch reliability 98.02%.
