Features

Issuing Committee: E-32 Aerospace Propulsion Systems Health Management

Scope

Content

The effectiveness of Engine Life Usage Monitoring and Parts Management systems is largely determined by the aircraft-specific requirements. This AIR addresses the following areas:

a
Safety.
b
Life-limiting criteria.
c
Life usage algorithm development.
d
Data acquisition and management.
e
Parts life tracking.
f
Design feedback.
g
Cost effectiveness.

This AIR primarily examines the requirements and techniques currently in use, including:

a
Parts classification and control requirements.
b
Failure causes of life-limited parts.
c
Engine life prediction and usage measurement techniques.
d
Method validation.
e
Parts life usage data management.
f
Lessons learned.
g
Life usage tracking benefits.
