Laboratories of the Aircraft Continuing Airworthiness Department

TRAINING LABORATORY FOR THE OPERATIONAL RELIABILITY AND DIAGNOSTICS OF AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING
Designation.
Organization and carrying out of training sessions, during which the students personally under the guidance of the teachers of the department carry out full-scale or imitation research with the purpose of practical confirmation of certain theoretical provisions of the academic disciplines, acquire practical skills of working with server and multimedia equipment, computation equipment, planning methodic, and experimentation conduction in a specific subject area.
Disciplines taught in the laboratory:
1. Fundamentals of Applied Engineering Technologies.
2. Technical Operation of Aircraft.
3. Reliability of Aeronautical Engineering.
4. Fundamentals of Engineering Diagnostics.
5. Fundamentals of Scientific Research.
6. Diagnosis and Control Systems of Aircraft Technical Condition.
7. Information Technologies of Aeronautical Engineering Maintenance Processes Ensuring.
In the field of reliability the calculations of reliability of the systems and products of aeronautical engineering are carried out for all types of aircraft of the registry park of Ukraine.
At the same time, higher education applicants use the methods of information gathering and accounting developed by the staff of the department and the proposed methods of constructing mathematical models of reliability of aviation products based on statistics coming from all operating enterprises of Ukraine.
To substantiate the relevance of the research, the results of the reliability analysis are used in carrying out the qualification work of the candidate of the “Master’s Degree”.
The Laboratory for the Operational Reliability and Diagnostics of Aeronautical Engineering is equipped with the complexes of equipment such as:
­ ИКУ-1 (indicator of ultrasound vibrations);
­ endoscopes of a wide variety of purpose by type;
­ installation БАРС-3 for determination of the metal composition;
­ instruments ПОЖ-М and ПОЗ-Т.

The laboratory performs more than 20 laboratory works in the following disciplines: “Fundamentals of Engineering Diagnostics”, “Diagnosis and Control Systems of Aircraft Technical Condition”, “Methods and Means of Diagnosis”.
