Methodological bases for maintaining the operational reliability of the fuel system of a long-haul passenger aircraft with two turbojet engines

Abstract

The serviceable systems of each wide-range aircraft are an indivisible part of airplane normal operating conditions. The reliability and durability of main elements or separate units is the general task of the maintenance department of any airline or one or another operator. Normally, each modern company or operator has own Maintenance programme (MP), methods, instructions, technologies and procedures which are distinctly approved according to manufacturer's regulatory documents and consequently due to International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) or State Aviation Administration (SAA) requirements. To meet the needs of passengers and cargo transportation without increasing fleet of aircraft required to use modern scientific and technological progress in the field of aviation, to find out new approaches how to maintain the necessary level of profitability and adaptation all present operations according to rigid rules of aviation industry . This means you need as widely as possible to implement various improvements leading to increased performance, efficiency and safety. My diploma work is dedicated to studying the fuel system of a long-haul passenger aircraft (AC) with two turbojet engines (on the example of Boeing-777) and investigates new methodological bases to increase the operational reliability of it.
