Abstract

The helicopter Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul/Operations (MRO) system enables the best sharing of the maintenance resources and maintenance ability in a wide area, so as to promote the specialization of the helicopter maintenance organizations. Information acquisition is an important and difficult part of the helicopter MRO system. This paper systematically analyzes the condition monitoring methods which are used to monitor the rotational speed, temperature, pressure, vibration and flight parameter in different parts of a helicopter, and then it puts forward some improved ways for information acquisition. Considering the helicopter's features, the process of information acquisition is illustrated. In addition, this paper presents the basic requirements of data sampling, and it also shows a detailed discussion on data format and data transmission in the helicopter MRO system. At the end of the paper, a system mode and architecture of helicopter MRO system are proposed.
