The effectiveness of Engine Life Usage Monitoring and PartsManagement systems is largely determined by the aircraft-specificrequirements. This document addresses the following areas: safety,life-limiting criteria, life usage algorithm development, dataacquisition and management, parts life tracking, design feedback,and cost effectiveness.It primarily examines the requirements and techniques currentlyin use, and considers the potential impact of new technolog to thefollowing areas: parts classification and control requirements,failure causes of life-limited parts, engine life prediction andusage measurement techniques, method validation, parts life usagedata management, lessons learned, and life usage trackingbenefits.SAE ARP1587 provides general guidance on the designconsideration and objectives of monitoring systems for aircraft gasturbine engines. A major function of these Engine MonitoringSystems is to monitor the usage of life-limited parts in order tomaximize available life and to enhance aircraft safety.The purpose of this document is to review the current approachesto Engine Life Usage Monitoring and Parts Management. The documentalso serves to provide a summary of the many varied requirements ofaircraft turbine engine life usage monitoring and parts managementand a description of the means by which these requirements can beachieved more effectively through the use of engine monitoringsystems.This document is being cancelled because there has been no progress since 2003 and the committee has no one to lead a WG to update it. Engine OEMs and Certification Authorities are concerned it could be used to develop a new system against that would no longer meet current standards.
