Abstract :
The reliability of fuel filter element in KT-1B airplane with engine
turboprop PT6A owned by the indonesian airforce is one of triner airplanes in
military operated to train aviator candidates in adisutjipto Indonesia Airforce and
in acrobatic. Fuel filter element is part of (fuel distribution system) the function is
to distill fuel. Based on the information above, it is needed to repeat the analysis.
Through the airplane realibility during the opertion, especialy in fuel filter element.
The analysis method weibull distribution. The first step is to collect the
data for the damage, then performe the calculations of data in order to know the
failure, the rate of failure and the effectiveness of maintenance and suitable with
the components to be analyzed.
The result analysis and computation in KT-1B airplane can be seen that
the rate of failure is increased with type gradual, while value of ? is 1,76908029,
so ?>1. The reliability of fuel filter is 165 hours 25 minutes and fell in line with the
increase in hours or the miles, so failure is in wear-out.
