AIRCRAFT COMPONENTS LIFE CYCLE MONITORING AS A TOOL FOR IDENTIFYING INAUTHENTIC AVIATION EQUIPMENT ITEMS

The article discusses the aircraft components life cycle monitoring issues as a tool for identifying inauthentic aviation equipment items. The issues of solving the civil aircraft components authenticity both abroad and in the Russian Federation have been considered, definitions and concepts of an inauthentic aircraft component have been provided. The experience of solving this problem in FSUE “The State Scientific and Research Institute of Civil Aviation” which is based on obtaining the updated information about technical state of aircraft components and comparing it with reference information delivered by manufacturers of such aviation items. The solution of this problem is based on the works assessing authenticity of aircraft components in accordance with technology and procedures of “Methodology of assessing authenticity of AC components” (Edition 2) No. 24.10-966ГА at all stages of the component life cycle. The goals, objectives, structure and functionality of aircraft component life cycle monitoring information analysis system (ACCLCMIAS) developed by FSUE “The State Scientific and Research Institute of Civil Aviation” as an operating mechanism for carrying out the aircraft component life cycle monitoring have been specified.
