АНАЛІЗ НАДІЙНОСТІ ШАСІ РЕГІОНАЛЬНОГО ПАСАЖИРСЬКОГО ЛІТАКА АН-140 НА ПОЧАТКОВОМУ ЕТАПІ ЕКСПЛУАТАЦІЇ

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the reliability of the chassis of the regional passenger aircraft AN - 140 at the initial stage of operation, as well as general information about the aircraft, front and main supports of its landing gear. The average failure rate and the total number of failures over a period of time are used as reliability indicators. The calculation of reliability indicators is based on failures detected during periodic maintenance (PM) of aircraft on planned forms 1H - 4H in the maintenance organization Part - 145 and entered into defective statements in accordance with the Management Maintenance Organization. These forms are made in accordance with the Aircraft Maintenance Manual of AN - 140 with a frequency of 500±50 flight hours. To analyze the reliability of the chassis selected a fleet of six aircraft AN - 140 and AN - 140 - 100 with a total flight of 12,000 hours and is divided into three groups by the date of their manufacture and the improvements made on them - "Leader Planes," "Refined Aircraft" and "Serial Aircraft". The condition of sampling the fleet of aircraft is the flight time of 2000 hours for each instance and the execution of four forms of PM on a swoop to form 4N. The dependence of the number of failures of the landing gear of each aircraft on the shape of the PM, the average flight of failure of the fleet and each aircraft individually, the total number of failures of the landing system for each instance of the aircraft, the most denied elements of the main and front landing gear of the aircraft are presented.Based on the results of the analysis of these reliability indicators, both generalized conclusions on the distribution of the number of failures by groups and aircraft instances, and on the specific most denied elements of the chassis system as a whole are presented. The tendency to reduce the number of failures and increase the average flight to failure, depending on the duration of aircraft operation and the manufacture date, has been revealed.
