NASDAC EADM

Secondly, we offer the “Cube” View

Metadata about the data set

There are two strategies to approaching the database:

One is the query approach.

November 2002 EAPAS AW Briefing 10

Simple Query Illustration

This field is for text searches of the SDR

narrative.

This active field is used to select a manufacturer.

This active field is used to specify the model of interest.

Query Purpose:• Which parts/components are failing,• Where (aircraft make, model, location)• When (aircraft age, hours, cycles), and • How (poor design (chafing)) (poor technique (incorrect attachment, abrasion))?

November 2002 EAPAS AW Briefing 11

Results of Query

This size of the database in records.

The number of records matching the query .

This is a copy of the SQL Code in the query.

This link will take you to the specific

record.

Trend Analysis Illustration

The Pareto principle describes a phenomenon in which 80 percent of variation observed in everyday processes can be explained by a mere 20 percent of the causes of that variation.
