When an airline finds itself in trouble with an engine because of high cost or poor reliability, or both, decisions frequently must be made long before a complete picture is available to the decision makers. Experience and judgment play a major role in selecting the course of corrective action. This paper reviews these difficult decisions in a specific case history. The results of those decisions are analyzed quantitatively and the significance of the results discussed qualitatively. A relationship is then drawn between the operators’ experiences and the design criteria established by the engine manufacturer in the design of new engines.
