	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2023 answer text <p>The average length of time that an RAF aircraft is unable to fly due to needing maintenance is not a metric which is recorded. The time required for repairs of individual airframes can range from hours to months. Types of repairs include:</p><p>1) short-term unserviceable aircraft which undergo minor works, unforeseen rectification or technical inspection that can arise on a day-to-day basis and can often be rectified between planned flights;</p><p>2) repairs which are deferred to be undertaken during periods of planned maintenance inspections or periods of upgrade;</p><p>3) complex repairs which require specialist long-term rectification or detailed technical advice from the manufacturer, which can take many months.</p> answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge question first answered 21/12/2023 16:24:09 answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge
