Maintenance costs, which account for a significant percentage of operational costs, largely depend on the reliability of aircraft systems. This study explores the optimization of maintenance task intervals of aircraft systems using the average operational cost per unit time as a measure of efficiency. Efficiency was determined using the exponential and Erlang probably density functions. Analytical and simulation results show that for the Erlang model, there is a minimum that corresponds to an optimal aircraft maintenance task interval while for the exponentials model the maintenance interval tends to infinity.
