Abstract

At the majority of enterprises running aircrafts a considerable part of documentation is prepared in paper copies: maintenance schedule, units data, service bulletins, updating information, technical servicing manuals, spare parts and units lists, their certificates, logbooks, aircraft operating time information etc. With such immense information volumes in the form of bulky paper copies the process of search, selection, filing and adding new data represents a time-consuming operations. Solving the above-mentioned problems requires development of a software and its practical application in the system of technical servicing of aircrafts. As a whole, implementation of a software in the field of provision of technical servicing will significantly enhance the efficiency of aircraft utilization. The paper presents the developed software allowing carry out in full the recordkeeping of all aircraft failures in electronic format and issue scheduled reports on detected failures and their processing in accordance with domestic regulatory documents. Its distinctive feature consists in realization of 3D model of an aircraft in mobile application synchronizes with identical model allocated in the server. It is very easy to mark on it the damages revealed during the inspection. A photo of this damage together with its characteristic is transferred to the server, and logged in trouble record log.

The developed software — is a mobile Android application encompassing all main steps of aircraft failures control: from failures journalizing to accompanying documents generation. In general, implementation of such software in the area of servicing provision will significantly increase the efficiency of aircraft utilization and servicing, which will contribute positively to flight safety level.

The developed software was realized in ASYPOLA system. It is consisted of two subsystems: Android_part and Personal_Computer_part solving the following problems: automated failures recordkeeping, gathering, storing and filing of information, substituting paper copies.
