The invention claimed is: 1. In a system for dynamically planning a maintenance check of an aircraft, a method for recording and analyzing reliability data for the aircraft, the method comprising: obtaining and logging warranty-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of routine and non-routine maintenance tasks, and which pertain to rotable parts of the aircraft; obtaining and logging maintenance program-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of non-routine maintenance tasks; identifying for each non-routine maintenance task, a routine maintenance task whose performance resulted in the generation of the non-routine maintenance task; obtaining and logging maintenance program-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of the identified routine maintenance tasks; and analyzing and reporting the warranty-based reliability data and the maintenance program-based reliability data. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the warranty-based reliability data is reported for use in generating warranty reports for the rotable parts of the aircraft. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the maintenance program-based reliability data is reported for use in generating reports on modifications to an Maintenance Review Board document. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the method is operated over a communication medium operably connected to a plurality of input/output devices each having means for inputting and outputting information. 5. The method of claim 4 wherein the communication medium is the digital communication network. 6. A system for recording and analyzing reliability data for an aircraft during a dynamically-planned maintenance check of the aircraft, the system comprising: means for obtaining and logging warranty-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of routine and non-routine maintenance tasks, and which pertain to rotable parts of the aircraft; means for obtaining and logging maintenance program-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of non-routine maintenance tasks; means for identifying for each non-routine maintenance task, a routine maintenance task whose performance resulted in the generation of the non-routine maintenance task; means for obtaining and logging maintenance program-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of the identified routine maintenance tasks; and means for analyzing and reporting the warranty-based reliability data and the maintenance program-based reliability data. 7. The system of claim 6 wherein the warranty-based reliability data is reported for use in generating warranty reports for the rotable parts of the aircraft. 8. The system of claim 6 wherein the maintenance program-based reliability data is reported for use in generating reports on modifications to an Maintenance Review Board document. 9. The system of claim 6 wherein the system is implemented over a communication medium operably connected to a plurality of input/output devices each having means for inputting and outputting information. 10. The system of claim 9 wherein the communication medium is the digital communication network.
