The article presents the results of analysis of failures of the main functional systems units of aircraft Boeing 737 during the last 10 years of its operation in the national airline of Latvia ‘Air Baltic Corporation’. Total flight time was T∑ = 322,529 h and 184,538 cycles [1]. These data were obtained from daily reports of defects and unplanned consumption of spare parts for these systems. Failures of instrumental equipment of avionic systems were investigated in detail. Based on calculations of their failure probability and component replacement frequency, a comprehensive system including measures and their technical and instrumental support has been developed to improve maintenance productivity. Such a system requires relatively inexpensive components, is simple and can be used in the operation of this type of aircraft.
