Objectives:
-
To identify factors for where engineering data is insufficient, assess parameter ranges that provide acceptable performance for typical aircraft and engine components, and document results for use in revision of industry specifications
- To develop a self–assessment
tool and protocol for use by airline and overhaul shops for performance
verification compared against industry–accepted performance
-
To complete assessment of process control and monitoring tools and provide needed improvements
- To develop/validate FPI guidance materials
Approach:
- Define factors
for which engineering data is deficient
- Design engineering
study that provides quantitative assessment of performance and complete
study using either lab or shop facilities as appropriate
- Transition process
to airlines for internal, self-assessments
- Distribute results
through use of web and support changes to industry specifications as
warranted
- Utilize results
to update/create guidance materials
In cooperation with the FAA-NDE-NRS, CASR staff have worked with industry to define a comprehensive program to provide engineering data, performance verification tools, and guidance materials in response to industry definition.
Products:
- Engineering data
and FPI resource website
for publication of data
- Guidance materials
for use by industry
and FAA
- Development of
a self assessment tool
and protocol
