Procedure for determining the interchangeability of structurally modified means of transport components

摘要

A method is proposed for determining the interchangeability of structurally modified transport means components, in particular aircraft components, of the same transport means component type. The method comprises the following steps carried out on a computer system: Determination (S202), from data relating to a first means of transport component containing information on a first set of structural changes by which the first means of transport component was modified compared to a standard configuration of the means of transport component type, and from data with respect to a second means of transport component, which contain information on a second set of structural changes, by which the second means of transport component was modified compared to the standard configuration of the means of transport component type, of structural changes that are only in the first set of structural changes or only in the second set of structural changes are included, determine (S204), for each of the structural changes determined, on the basis of data that contain information on structural conditions associated with the respective structural change are associated with structural conditions that must be met for the first means of transport component to be interchangeable with the second means of transport component, forming (S206) a set of structural conditions from the determined structural conditions, and determining (S208) that, if the set of structural conditions Conditions is met, the first means of transport component can be replaced by the second means of transport component.
