The repair of catapult is a complicated engineering. In this paper, the method of Condition Based Maintenance is applied into the repair system based on the catapult maintenance of system analysis. In view of the application of Condition Based Maintenance in the modern aviation equipment, the catapult availability is the final goal. The structure of catapult maintenance system is analyzed. The structure model of system dynamic feedback is established by using system dynamics method. Simulation is based on the "Nimitz" actual data of the Surge operation in 1997. The results prove the effectiveness and rationality of the proposed method. Through the analysis of the simulation evaluation results, the method applying Condition Based Maintenance into catapult repair system can improve catapult availability.
