While there are theoretical operational benefits in fleet commonality, the strategy shows fragilty in the real world when systemic effects lead to Airworthiness Directives. This paper presents a system of systems analysis of the mitigating straegies enacted by airlines, OEMs and MRO. The analysis focuses on the response by Mexican airlines on the PW1100G AD and identifies risks and consequences.
