Abstract
This paper brings out estimation of Average Service Life (ASL) and Mean Life of a turboshaft engine powering a single engined helicopter. This has been carried out through reliability analysis over defect investigation, repair and overhaul data for a period of 5 years. The implication of ASL and Mean life are deliberated. Critical areas for availability improvement for different operators are also highlighted in the paper.
