The effectiveness of Engine Life Usage Monitoring and Parts Management systems is largely determined by the aircraft-specific requirements. This document 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
It primarily examines the requirements and techniques currently in use, and considers the potential impact of new technology to the following areas:
- 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
