In recent years, RFID technology has been widely used in the field of civil aviation airport transportation, but it is rarely used in the field of civil aviation manufacturing and aircraft operation and maintenance, and lots of work are still carried out by original manual observation. Efficiency and accuracy can be greatly improved by using RFID technology reasonably. This paper proposes a system architecture that uses RFID technology to be applied to the life cycle maintenance and management of civil aircraft airborne equipment. The function and configuration of its key components are explained, and a routine maintenance task for cabin emergency equipment is adopted to verify the system. This system can realize efficient maintenance and management of the entire life cycle of airborne equipment, and has a great application prospect
