The Navy's logistics support planning for the F/A-18 aircraft is comprehensive; however, its operational and support costs could be substantially reduced if the Navy would adopt the following alternative concepts: use multiport avionics test equipment; consolidate avionics repair facilities; buy initial spares concurrently with aircraft installed units; make more effective use of pilot simulators; consolidate F/A-18 squadrons into larger size units; use the reliability centered maintenance concept to determine the need for depot maintenance and pipeline aircraft; and eliminate unneeded facilities improvements.
