Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for assessing risk to an aircraft electrical wire interconnect system (EWIS). Information describing an aircraft EWIS, historical failure information, and expert opinion information is populated in a database. The EWIS risk assessment tool performs an EWIS risk assessment based on analytic techniques performed using information stored in the database.

Abstract: To provide an evaluation of the remaining life (level of insulation degradation) of wire in an installation, a kit-based approach avoids the need for technical personnel to visit a customer location. The kit includes equipment and instructions for selecting specimens for removal, capturing pre-removal information, removing the specimens, and sending the specimens for evaluation. A round form padded with protective material simplifies packing of the specimens while avoiding customer damage to the specimens. Accelerated aging testing and comparison between results for specimens from zones particularly susceptible to aging and one or more reference specimens permits an evaluation of remaining wire life.
