Mean corrective maintenance time (Mct)
When determining the mean corrective
maintenance time Mct for a specific sample
population of maintenance repair actions, the use
of the equation above is appropriate.
However the following equation has a wider
application

Where:
•fpti is the frequency of the individual (ith) pm
action per system operating hour, and
Mpti is the elapsed time required for the ith
maintenance action.
Median active corrective maintenance time
(Mdct)
The median maintenance time is that value which
divides all of the downtime values so that 50%
are equal to or less than the median and 50% are
equal to or greater than the median.

Achieved Availability (Aa)
probability that a system when used under
stated conditions in an ideal support
environment will operate satisfactorily at any
point in time.
This definition is similar to the definition for Ai
except that PM is included.
It excludes logistics and administrative delay
time and is expressed by:

Operational Availability (A0)
probability that a piece of equipment,
when used in actual operational
environment under specified conditions
will operate satisfactorily when called
upon.
