ABOUT ТНЕ EXPERIENCE OF CONDUCTING METROLOGICAL EXAMINATION OF TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION FOR AIRCRAFT: CRITERIA, METHODOLOGY AND RESULTS
Article is the first scientific publication on air transport on the question of metrological expertise of technical documents on aviation equipment. Developed and used in the practice of carrying out of metrological examination of a set of criteria selection measuring instruments that meets such requirements as adequacy, efficiency, divisibility, convenience, and compactness. A set of criteria applicable to the selection and of other elements of the system for ensuring the uniformity of measurements with metrological characteristics such as measurement techniques, testing or technological hardware, software special measuring instruments and information-measuring systems, standard samples and other. On example the retrospective results of metrological examination of operating and maintenance documentation for some aircraft types shows the most common shown on the basis of the system approach their analysis and classification. Cause of inconsistencies is the lack of suitably qualified drafter technical documentation on aviation equipment what is a need to conduct initial and periodic trainings of the personnel in the metrological examination. To establish uniform requirements for qualification of personnel exercising metrological examination, there is a need for the development and implementation of appropriate professional standards, taking into account the specifics of aviation activity at air transport. Implementation of measures on elimination of discrepancies identified during metrological expertise, and qualifications of personnel allows reduce the metrological risks of negative situations when conducting aeronautical activities on air transport.
