Aircraft Maintenance Management

by admin

The customer’s safety is of utmost importance and hence it is vital for a comprehensive aircraft maintenance management to be effectual. A dedicated maintenance team must ensure the maintenance of thousands of critical components on the aircraft.

There are various software packages that have been developed to ensure that there is no technical snag, before the aircraft is ready for take-off. The sophisticated computer tracking system records and logs all maintenance records of the aircraft. This maintains a record about when the maintenance of a system component is due or when the system itself requires replacement. The companies manufacturing this software also send a factory-trained team. They handle all maintenance requirements of the aircraft.

Aircraft modification

The move now is for aircraft maintenance organisations who have traditionally carried out aircraft modification to STC to seek from the FAA what they term Organisation Designation Approval ODA. After approval, the company receives Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) Organization Designation Authorization (ODA). This designation enables a company to approve design data, tests, and analysis and allows the company to sign an STC on behalf of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for aircraft alterations. In practice, it is a means of self-certifying their own work.
