Just make it user friendly to do maintenance, so new people know why in the world the electrical system just shut off on the 172 and can't get it working again.

>Hi!

>How about a log that records running time for each system (electrical, static,
>vacum etc.) and for the instruments and possibly the controls and ... This
>log can be stored in the users home directory as a simple text file (XML).
>There would be different logs for each individual aircraft.

>Now, one could calculate a failure probability for for example the electrical
>system based on the time that it has been operative. And as that probability
>becomes higher the system will fail. Fixing the system, or should I call it
>performing maintenance, would be as simple as resetting the running time in
>the log file to zero. You don't even have to get your fingers dirty :-)
