Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The paper proposes a digital twin architecture designed to support decision-making during the operation and maintenance of aviation infrastructure facilities. As a first practical example, forecasting the need for spare parts for aerodrome meteorological equipment using the example of the FD12 visibility sensor is considered. The developed model makes it possible to use operational data, maintenance information, and failure statistics to assess the likelihood of failure of individual equipment components and make recommendations for inventory planning. In addition, the paper proposes an approach to constructing a digital model of the ionospheric layer over the area of aviation operations. This model is designed to assess the state of the ionosphere and to predict in the short term the optimal operating frequencies of shortwave radio communications. This makes it possible to increase the stability of radio communications in aviation, including when flying in remote areas and during search and rescue operations
