Estimating Reliability and Validity of On-Wing End Play Measurement in Aerospace Components

This study evaluates the reliability and validity of the on-wing end play measurement methodology for jackscrew assemblies in aerospace applications. An analysis of 852 paired measures indicated a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.553, suggesting moderate reliability. Furthermore, comparisons with bench-check measures revealed an even lower correlation (r = 0.442), highlighting issues with validity. These findings led to recommendations for revising measurement procedures to minimize errors and enhance reliability, emphasizing the need for empirical validation against accepted standards.

  1. Jana Price, Ph.D. Statistical End Play Data Study

  2. Estimating Reliability of The On-Wing End Play Measure • Reliability: the ability of the on-wing end play measurement to yield repeatable results • Measures taken on consecutive occasions were correlated • The analysis data consisted of 852 paired measures (Time 1 and Time 2)

  3. Measures of Reliability • Correlation coefficients (r) range from –1.0 to 1.0 • An r value near 1.0 would suggest high measurement reliability • Lower r values indicate less measurement reliability

  4. Plot of Raw End Play Data at Time 1 and Time 2 r = 0.553

  5. Time 2 Smaller than Time 1 Time 2 Equal to or Larger than Time 1 End Play Differences Between Time 1 and Time 2

  6. Estimating Validity of The On-Wing End Play Measure • 157 jackscrew assemblies were returned to Integrated Aerospace (IA) • IA performs a “bench-check” • Measures of on-wing end play and bench-checks were available for 63 jackscrew assemblies • NTSB analysis correlated on-wing and bench check end play measures

  7. On-Wing Less than Bench Check On-Wing Equal to or Greater than Bench Check Differences Between On-Wing and Bench-Check End Play r = 0.442

  8. Conclusions • Repeated on-wing measures show low reliability • Reliability is a necessary condition for an accurate measure • Validity analysis using on-wing and bench-check measures showed low validity • Based on these conclusions, NTSB recommended changes to measurement procedures

  9. Recommendation A-01-042 Revise the end play check procedure … to minimize the probability of measurement error and conduct a study to empirically validate the revised procedure against an appropriate physical standard of actual acme screw and acme nut wear. This study should also establish that the procedure produces a measurement that is reliable when conducted on-wing
