This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) provides information regarding guidance when utilizing an SHM system for “airworthiness credits”. This document is applicable to civil fixed-wing aerospace airframe structural applications where stakeholders are seeking guidance on the approvals of structural health monitoring (SHM) technologies for aircraft health management applications. While this initial guidance is from the United States’ Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Technical Innovation Policy Branch, other regulatory agencies may elect to add requirements as needed. Future revisions to this document could include the guidance from other regulatory agencies. This document does not teach how to design an SHM function, how to do a safety or risk analysis, prescribe hardware or software assurance levels, or answer the question “how much mitigation and evidence are enough.”

This Aerospace Information Report provides an overview of published data on different methods for designing electromechanical actuators with a very low probability of jam or disconnect.

This project will create an Aerospace Recommended Practice that provides comprehensive guidelines for the design and specifications for rotary and linear mechanical actuators for use in aircraft mechanically distributed actuation systems including but not limited to flap, slat , cargo door, and weapons bay door actuators.

This SAE Information Report provides a compendium of terms, definitions, abbreviations, and acronyms to enable common terminology for use in engineering reports, diagnostic tools, and publications related to active safety systems. This information report is a survey of terms related to calibration of active safety systems. The definitions offered are descriptions of inputs, outputs, and processes rather than technical specifications. Definitions for end-of-line procedures are not included.

This SAE Recommended Practice identifies major components and parts peculiar to clam bunk skidders. Illustrations used here are not intended to include all existing machines or to be exactly descriptive of any particular machine. They have been provided to illustrate the principles to be used in applying this document.

This document delineates a recommended practice specifically designed for maintenance processes that involve more than one aviation maintenance stakeholders. These include (but are not limited to) Manufacturers, Operators, Maintenance Repair & Overhaul (MRO) organization and Part Providers. The framework's primary aim is to establish the necessary input for evaluating and accepting (or rejecting) implementing a prognostic model based on their impact from the unique perspective of each stakeholder. As a result, this document is best suited for maintenance processes involving Line-Replaceable Units (LRUs), as these system enter a repair process that involved multiple parties external to the airline operator. This document emphasizes economic efficiency in maintenance operations, targeting tasks that are currently managed on a corrective (or run-to-failure) basis outside of the Airline Maintenance Program.

This SAE Standard specifies symbols (i.e. conventional signs) for use on controls, indicators, and tell-tales applying to passenger cars, light and heavy commercial vehicles, and buses, to ensure identification and facilitate use. It also indicates the colors of possible optical tell-tales, which inform the driver of either correct operation or malfunctioning of the related devices.

The statement of concerns within this document may be specific to commercial and/or military applications. They also discuss unique concerns between different regulators. They apply to the entire end-to-end health management function throughout the aircraft’s design and operational life, covering on-board and off-board elements. Regulatory approval has been provided to some engine and aircraft Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), allowing the use of health management functionality to comply with Airworthiness Directives (AD), extend inspection intervals, comply with MSG guidance, or to more effectively utilize component lives to optimize “time on wing.” However, different variations and applications of IVHM systems could bring up new concerns which are not currently addressed in standards, especially when attempting to obtain approval to use higher criticality IVHM systems for airworthiness credit.

This Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides general requirements for a generic, integrated rudder and brake pedal unit, incorporating a passive force-feel system that could be used for fixed-wing fly-by wire transport and business aircraft.This ARP addresses the following:- The functions to be implemented- The mechanical interconnection between captain and F/O station- The geometric and mechanical characteristics- The mechanical, electrical, and electronic interfaces- The safety and certification requirements

This SAE Standard specifies requirements and design guidelines for electrical wiring systems of less than 50 V and cable diameters from 0.35 to 19 mm2 used on off-road, self-propelled earthmoving machines as defined in SAE J1116 and agricultural tractors as defined in ASAE S390.

The 3D crush model can be obtained by any suitable photogrammetry method using this image set and is intended to graphically represent in photographs the shape and orientation of the damaged surface(s) relative to the undamaged, or least damaged, portion of the vehicle. The procedure is intended to provide an image set sufficient to determine, with the use of photogrammetric methodologies, the 3D location of points on the crushed surface of the damaged vehicle. Measurement of the exterior damaged surface(s) on a vehicle is a necessary step in quantifying the deformation caused by a collision and the energy dissipated by the deformation process. The energy analysis is sometimes called a crush analysis. Evaluation of the energy dissipated is useful in reconstructing the change in the velocity of the vehicles (delta-V) involved in a collision.

This document will apply to the most common applications of electric motors, used for activating all-wheel drive (AWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) disconnect systems as used in passenger (car and light truck) vehicles. The standard will provide consistent definition, terminology, tests, and reporting methods.

This document is intended to highlight critical design issues that a panel designer should understand when designing panels for NVIS applications.
