INVESTIGATION OF THE AIRWORTHINESS CONDITIONS AND PERSPECTIVES DEVELOPMENT OF THE CIVIL AVIATION PARK OF UKRAINE

Abstract

A survey of the state of the aviation park of Ukraine was conducted: trends of changes in the indicators of efficiency of use of civil aviation of Ukraine during period since 2003 till 2018 were shown, as well as the age and quantity composition of the aviation park of the leading airlines, such as the International Airlines of Ukraine and Aviation Company "Rosa winds "and others. It is determined that the development of civil aviation is associated with the general tendencies of international air transport and is caused both by global and domestic state social, economic, political and other factors. It has been established that the issues of aircraft reliability, flight safety, which are directly related to the maintenance and maintenance of airworthiness of aircraft, and will remain relevant to all countries without exception, regardless of the level of development and the state of the technologies used to provide them. It was established that the main factors determining the relevance of issues of maintaining and confirming the airworthiness of civil aircraft are: the need to ensure the safe operation of different age groups of aircraft at the same time and the use of intensively aging technology of domestic production; insufficient efficiency of the monitoring system on the state of reliability and efficiency of aircraft equipment; unreadiness of the existing system of operation to effective functioning in conditions of mass exhaustion of established terms of service for most objects of aviation engineering; catastrophically low level of funding for research related to the technical support of the operation of aircraft; the lack of systemic action and the unresolved issues in the development of effective programs for ensuring the reliability of aviation technology. The study can be used to substantiate ways to improve the system of maintenance, maintenance and confirmation of the airworthiness of civil aviation aircraft of Ukraine, as well as to overcome the disadvantages of existing systems of monitoring the reliability and safety of flights of Ukrainian airlines.
