In recent years, there have been significant changes in the development of aviation technology and the emergence of new trends and approaches to its technical operation. The successful completion of these tasks is largely determined by the design of aviation technology, its suitability for operational and repair work using the most economical technological processes in terms of labor and time costs. These new trends and approaches can be characterized as a transition in the field of technical operation to modern information technologies. The equipment of new-generation aircraft is based on the use of computing components and network technologies. This allows for a significant reduction in the weight and size of the equipment, as well as an increase in computing and, as a result, functional capabilities. Self-monitoring information technologies are widely implemented in onboard systems, which significantly reduce the time required to search for and eliminate malfunctions and reduce the need for ground control measures. In addition, there has been a qualitative change in operational documentation, which has become not only electronic but also interactive. At the same time, with the introduction of modern standards, it is becoming increasingly informative and convenient. The aim of the study is to develop a methodology for early forecasting and detailed assessment of all types of equipment, which allows analyzing operational performance taking into account the possibilities of diagnostics and troubleshooting, the design of the replacement component (product), and the intensity of failures. An assessment of the impact of the developer's implementation of CMS, IETP, and MMEL technologies on aircraft flight readiness has been carried out. The simulation results show that aircraft flight readiness values vary within the range of 0.913...0.994, with the effective implementation and application of CMS, IETP, and MMEL technologies at the design stage, which corresponds to a reduction in flight unavailability for one aircraft from 87 to 6 per 1,000 flights.
