This also helps to reduce the weight of it’s control system, the mass and dimensions of the modular construction of the engine. It is possible only on the basis of complex study of the transition processes of the aviation engine with the mutual influence of the course, from the theoretical point of view. Firstly, it is necessary to define method for start up as the process of engine transition from a state of rest in ground conditions or autorotation mode in flight to minimum stable operation mode. Then, in process start up for the initial spin up of the engine rotor, fuel supply and ignition a special starting system based on the Wireless Distributed Automatic Control System must be used in the combustion chamber. In practical application, this study can be used to create the new generation of aviation gas turbine engines and their control systems for subsonic and supersonic aircraft, identification their models based on the diagnosing the state of the engine according to dynamic ones parameters.</p> Serhii Tovkach Copyright (c) 2024 The Author(s).

A thorough literature review established a foundation for understating fatigue and the available methodologies for fatigue management for flight crew members. To make the picture clearer, an empirical study was conducted, and it included surveys and interviews with flight crew members. The gathered data underwent detailed statistical and thematic analysis to identify key factors influencing fatigue among flight crew members. Findings revealed multiple contributors to the flight crew member fatigue. Using these insights, a fatigue management methodology is proposed, integrating real-world experiences with evidence-based strategies. The proposed methodology and the recommendations that were formed are relevant for a company management which is facing flight crew fatigue management issues.</p> Iyad Alomar, Sofija Alomar, Inna Stecenko Copyright (c) 2024 The Author(s).
