Aircraft Components Life Cycle Monitoring System as an Element of the State Control of Aviation Equipment Operation Maintenance

Abstract

The article reviews issues of the aircraft components life cycle monitoring as a tool for identifying inauthentic aviation equipment items. It reviews also the issues of problem-solving with regard to the civil aircraft components authenticity both abroad and in the Russian Federation, gives definitions and concepts of an inauthentic aircraft component, and includes the experience of solving this problem in the “State Research Institute of Civil Aviation” Federal State Unitary Enterprise (hereinafter referred to as “the State Research Institute of Civil Aviation”), which is based on obtaining the updated information about technical condition of aircraft components and comparing it with reference information delivered by manufacturers of such aviation items. The solution of this problem is based on performance of works on assessment of aircraft components authenticity in accordance with the technology and procedures given in the “Methodology of assessing authenticity of AC components” (Edition 2) No. 24.10-966?? at all stages of the component life cycle. The goals, objectives, structure and functionality of the information analysis system of aircraft components life cycle monitoring (IAS ACLCM), developed by the State Research Institute of Civil Aviation, as an operating mechanism for monitoring the aircraft component life cycle have been specified. Within the framework of this problem, the solution with regard to development of state control of air technical materials supply to the civil airlines with use of the Voluntary Certification System of Civil Aviation Objects developed by the State Research Institute of Civil Aviation has been reviewed.
