A Model of Interconnection Between Aircraft Equipment Failures and Aircraft “States” in Flight

Andris Vaivads, Jevgēnijs Tereščenko, Vladimirs Šestakovs

Abstract


The article presents a semiotic model of “aircraft conditions” in flight and multilevel structures of an aircraft. The hierarchical structure of abstract models is divided into blocks and levels that make them more compact by applying a mathematical apparatus corresponding to the goals sated. The above models were tested on the basis of statistical data on TU-154 aircraft failures for 10 years. Various aircraft functional system failures in flight were examined. The state of the aircraft is identified by normative indicators recorded in the “Aircraft Technical Operation Manual”.

Keywords:
Aircraft; failure; faulty condition; flight delay; flight safety; management
