MMIR
Read Access
is useful for anyone who is interested in aviation safety. You can search
existing MMIR reports from the entire database, either by aircraft model
or by part number. MMIR lists summaries of all reports for a specific
aircraft model or part. All references to the reporting company, aircraft
registration, and individuals have been removed.
Once you are registered,
you may use your e-mail address and password to start searching reports
immediately. Remember, with Read Access MMIR, you may look at reports,
but you cannot enter or change any information. If you are an operator,
repair station, or a certified technician, consider registering for MMIR
Full Access. This will allow you to submit warranty claims, service difficulty
reports, and mechanical interruption summaries on-line. SDRs automatically
forwarded to the FAA; there's no redundant paperwork or mailing involved.

Parts Analysis Reports
MMIR
contains tens of thousands of files on thousands of aircraft parts. Type
a part number (or a partial number, at least 3 digits) in the text box,
and click Search. Note that the "Start Date" and "End Date"
automatically default to a one-year search. Change the dates to your preference.
!
Tip
Partial numbers provide a broader search. MMIR will display all reports
for part numbers that begin with the numbers you enter.
!
Tip
Punctuation marks, such as hyphens ( ) and slashes ( / ), are automatically
removed for search purposes, so there is no need to include them when
typing the part number.

Model analysis reports
Want
to search all the reports on parts for a specific aircraft model, such
as the Bell 206 or the Eurocopter AS350? Easy! Just use the pull-down
menus provided to select an aircraft manufacturer and model, and a date
range. While MMIR contains predominantly helicopter information, there
is some data available for general aviation fixed-wing aircraft. Note
that the "Start Date" and "End Date" automatically
default to a one-year search. Change the dates to your preference.

Sometimes, aircraft
model designations are precise to the point of exclusiveness. For example,
within MMIR there may be hundreds of reports for the "B" model,
but none for the "D7." Certainly there are important distinctions,
but the sub-models also share many parts. MMIR gives you the option to
search for reports based on an aircraft model series.
