CPFH is calculated as the ratio of an aircraft fleet's operating-and-support (O&S) costs divided by its flying hours. Subsets of an aircraft fleet's total annual O&S cost are budgeted in DoD for the flying-hour program used to achieve and maintain flight-crew proficiency and used to calculate hourly rates when DoD aircraft are flown on a reimbursable basis. In addition, other aggregations of costs are used to calculate CPFH and compare O&S costs of different aircraft for various other reasons, including informing decisions on aircraft acquisition and force structure. This report examines usages of CPFH in DoD, including its use to compare O&S costs of different aircraft. The report recommends a definition of CPFH to be used when comparing aircraft and recommends several ways the cost and usage data should be normalized. The report also recommends a cost-per-aircraft metric (where primary aircraft inventory [PAI] is used for the number of aircraft) as an alternative metric for comparing the O&S costs of aircraft."--Page 4 of printed paper wrapper. 650 0 $a Airplanes, Military $z United States $x Evaluation. $x Evaluation. 650 0 $a Airplanes, Military $z United States $x Maintenance and repair. 610 10 $a United States. $b Air Force $x Costs. $x Costs. 700 1 $a Keating, Edward G. $q (Edward Geoffrey), $d 1965- $e author. 700 1 $a Wallace, John, $e author 700 1 $a DeBlois, Bradley, $e author. 700 1 $a Blum, Ilana, $e author. 710 2 $a Rand Corporation, $e issuing body. $4 isb 710 2 $a National Defense Research Institute (U.S.), $e researcher. $4 res 710 1 $a United States. $b Office of the Secretary of Defense, $b Office of the Secretary of Defense, $e sponsoring body. $4 spn 830 0 $a Research report (Rand Corporation) ; $v RR-1178-OSD. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826045951.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=136F06FC6B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
