AB  - The subject of the paper is methodology of aircraft hydraulic pump and helicopter gearbox testing by means of vibrodiagnostic tools. By vibrodiagnostics methods it is possible to detect mechanical changes occurring within aircraft hydraulic pumps and gearboxes, remove its causes and prevent large system failures and equipment malfunctions before they occur. Vibrodiagnostics as a part of routine aircraft preventive maintenance of power machines greatly reduces expenses of maintenance, increases safety and reliability of the system while at the same time extends system long-lived.
