3. Synergistic maintenance strategy for
enhancing maintenance and logistics
performance

(1) Assurance of aircraft maintenance quality:

Daily contract performance supervision based
on the maintenance contract and contract
performance plans for each aircraft type were
Fuselage Maintenance on a Blackhawk Helicopter
conducted by the crew chiefs of each duty
station every day. Dedicated personnel were

dispatched each month to inspect every duty station, and a quality assurance audit team was set up
every quarter. Inspections were carried out in accordance with the supervision plan during the year,
and the quality of aircraft maintenance met the standards set out in the technical documentation.

Training for maintenance specialists on each type of aircraft were conducted 613 times to im-
prove maintenance skills and quality.

(2) Promotion of a synergistic maintenance strategy:

Self-supported fleet: The maintenance and management of four Blackhawk helicopters were
conducted at Taichung Station, in order to maintain in-house aircraft maintenance capabilities.

Contractor-supported fleet: The fleet consisted of aircraft assigned to supporting missions at the Tai-
pei, Taichung, Tainan, Kaohsiung, Hualien, and Taitung Stations. “Air Asia Company Ltd.” was con-
tracted to support ten Blackhawk helicopters and one fixed-wing aircraft; “Airbus Helicopters South-

east Asia Pte. Ltd.” provided maintenance and management support for eight Dauphin helicopters.
Availability: The average mission availability rate for all types of aircraft last year was 66.84%,

meeting the mandatory target of 65%.
(3) Diversification of the component supply chain:

Domestic: Aircraft components and materials required for each aircraft type were commercially
purchased through public tenders in accordance with the Government Procurement Act. Sup-

port agreements were also signed with the Army, Navy, and Air Force for the sharing of aviation
materials; 85 items in 24 categories were borrowed, and 729 items in 99 categories were loaned
during the year. The sharing of government aircraft maintenance resources enhanced aircraft

availability for aerial disaster response and emergency rescue missions.
