98% / 35.7%100% / 42.1%what does the second % mean? and how can I increase it?is there a way to increase % condition of the plane, or does it stay the same forever 9or does it go down, and how/when)?
I think the 35.7 and 42.1 are your maintenance ratio:

If you have a maintenance ratio below 100%, your plane will (sooner or later) break down and flights will be cancelled until the cond # is back above 50%
So 98% / 35.7% is cond/maintenance ratio. Sooner or later, cond will drop below 50%....
You must delete some flights from your schedule (not just cancel them) to get the maintenance ratio above 100%....you can also get it to exactly 100% and it will be OK.

edited: I removed some flights, and now the maintenance condition is at 104%. So that should take care of it.
But it has 7 hours of total "blue" downtime to reach that condirion.
My question is: does the age of aircraft affect how much time does it need to spend on the ground to reach 100% or more of maintenance condition?
For example,
which one of the following scenarios it would be?
a ) A new A320 will need 4 hours to reach 100% and 10-year olf A320 would need 6 hours to reach 100%;
or
b ) Both A320 would need 6 hpurs to reach 100% ???
thx.
As far as I know the airplanes in AS getting with each flight "damage points". Older planes get more damage points then younger Airplanes. With a new 737 and A320 (all my planes are less then 10 Years old) I plan with 4,5 hrs downtime (3-4 Flights and Avia Maintanance Provider). Other Mainatance Provider may need more or less time therefore if you have a Daily Mantanance window of 4,5-6 hrs and a Maintanance Ratio ob 140-100% you should not get any Problem regardless of the Age of the plane. The Only time the age might be a factor is if you do Maintanance in an uneven pattern with different timings. You need at least more then 2 hrs of downtime that maintanance will be done. so if you do 4 flights and then 2hrs5 min downtime and then 6 flights 3 hrs downtime and so on then you will find out that your plane will not get back to 100% Condition. If the Condition reach 50% and below the flights will be canceled and the plane will be doing maintanance at the nearest Airport. So best thing is to plan every day a window of 4-6 hrs for Maintanance and you will be fine all the time.............

Be careful if you have 7 hours total for the week, there is a chance that the maintenance ratio will drop below 50%!
Try having an even schedule each day with the following amount of time for about 100%:
4 segments/day 2.2 hours of maintenance (blue time)
6 segments/day 3.5 hours of maintenance (blue time)
8 segments/day 4.2 hours of maintenance (blue time)
10+....you better be flying short hops! I can do 10 segments DME-LED

No, that's 7 hours per DAY! Going under 5.5 hours per DAY brings it to less than 100%.
That is with 8 segments... question: the maintenance ration goes down with flight time, or with the segment numbers? Or with both?

Well, if you need more hours in the day you could always try to go with another maintenance company (one that works faster). Increases your maintenance cost, but gives you valuable flighttime. It´s up to you to determine what fits better.
What does the maintenance category mean on the model info page? It doesn't seem to make much sense.
737-900 ER BGW: 1
787-8: 83
767-200: 7
E95: 84
What do those numbers mean?
It is - as named - a category. All aircraft with the same number are one aircraft category. Starting with the 4th aircraft category in fleet, the cost for maintenance are increasing. You haven't read the Wiki, don't you?
It´s just a number to indicate different maintenance categories. For example, an antique 737-200 will have the same maintenance category as any classic 737 (-300, -400, -500) or even 737NG (-600, -700, -800, -900), while the entire 767 family has maintenance category 7.
You can have up to three different maintenance categories in your fleet without it affecting your maintenance costs. For every additional category you add, your maintenance costs rise by 15%. Therefore it is always a good idea to deploy aircraft "families" that cover a large number of sizes like for example the 737 family, which gives you a very nice flexibility size wise.
The maintenance category is not to be confused with the typerating of the pilots. While a pilot can fly both the 757 and the 767, because that particular typerating covers both airplanes, they have different maintenance categories.

Sorry, my hours/day assumed a brand new plane. You must have a clunker 727 or Tu-134 :ph34r:

A 16 y/o 733 actually
The ration needs to be maintained at a minimum of 100%. A maintenance ratio of above 100% does ensure the smooth functioning of the unit. It somewhat also depends on the age of the aircraft. You need to carry out the tasks of ac repair and maintenance after regular periods.
