Zusammenfassung:An aircraft component identification and maintenance tracking system is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of aircraft components 12, a plurality of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags 18, and a transceiver 24 operatively configured to transmit an activation signal 22 to each of the RFID tags. Each of the RFID tags 18 is associated with a respective one of the aircraft components 12 and comprises identification and maintenance data information specific to the aircraft component to which it is associated. The transceiver is configured to receive information transmitted by each of the RFID tags 18 which are configured to transmit identification and maintenance data information that is representative of a maintenance history for the aircraft component to which the RFID tag 18 is associated.
