UKRAINE NEEDS CORPORATE AVIATION STANDARDS

To address urgent problems in the aircraft industry, a common regulatory framework is advantageous. It can be created as part of the system of corporate aviation standards. Corporate standardization would shift all aircraft engineering enterprises from use of the former USSR industrial standards to own system of standards, codes of common practice, and other regulatory documents. The system may include using international, regional, national standards and the standards of NATO. The standardization activities should be organized and managed by the head organization for corporate standardization. Today, the basis for the functioning of aircraft engineering enterprises is the system of activities and interactions based on a set of regulatory documents developed and adopted in the days of the USSR Ministry of Aviation Industry: industry standards, guidelines, regulations, rules, instructions. To solve the problem of replacing industry standards and other equivalent to them regulatory documents of the former USSR so that new regulatory documents can be used by all aircraft engineering enterprises is possible if the system of corporate aviation standards is created in Ukraine. Such standards should have a single place of registration, the general principle of designation, should be issued and maintained by unified corporate rules. The formation of a common regulatory framework of corporate standards should be carried out in the interest of all participants of the aircraft industry in Ukraine. The powers of the head organization for corporate standardization should include the following functions. Coordination of corporate standards system creation actions. Maintenance of common Register of corporate regulatory documents. Approval of duly executed standards and other corporate regulatory documents and their insertion into the Register. Formation of annual plans for standardization. Other activities related to standardization. The ownership of regulatory documents should belong to enterprises and organizations which financed the relevant regulatory documents developping
