What is the induction time limit for Non-RFI engines?

The induction time limit for Non-RFI (Non-Ready for Issue) engines is set at 10 working days to ensure the efficient management of aviation assets and maintenance operations. Adhering to this timeline helps streamline the repair and maintenance processes required to bring engines up to a ready-for-issue status.

Inducting engines beyond this time frame could lead to delays in operational readiness, increased backlog, and potential deterioration in serviceability. The 10-working-day limit also helps maintain an organized flow in maintenance schedules, allowing for better resource allocation and prioritization of tasks. This ensures that the aviation units can maintain their operational capabilities and meet mission requirements effectively.

Having a designated time limit prevents engines from being retained too long without attention, which might lead to unnecessary complications in their repair and readiness. Therefore, the policy of 10 working days underscores the importance of timely maintenance actions within aviation support structures.
