AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF AIRCRAFT CONTROL SYSTEMS

Stupakov Valery Yakovlevich

The problems of reducing the accident rate of air transport in modern realities are very relevant both at the national level of states and at the level of aircraft operating organizations. The existing operating conditions of aircraft suggest the need for effective and efficient mechanisms for monitoring and controlling the aircraft during operation. However, practice shows that despite the availability of standards and rules of manufacturers, many accidents occur due to operational problems associated with the ignorance of aircraft crews of the causes of failures in the aircraft control system, and as a consequence, the choice of the wrong mechanism to stabilize the situation during the flight. In the article, the author concludes that the inability of the aircraft crew to recognize erroneous readings of on-board instruments in a timely manner and respond to them is the most common cause of loss of control over the aircraft control system. Within the framework of the study, the author proposed a comprehensive approach aimed at improving the efficiency of aircraft control systems, which is based on a mechanism for timely response of the aircraft crew to failures in the aircraft control system during flight due to procedures for monitoring the readings of aircraft control systems and timely recognition of unreliable readings, rechecking the unreliability of instruments and stabilizing the situation.
