1. Course Introduction:
Today, aviation is the safest mode of transport in the world. A considerable part
of that safety record can be attributed to the efforts of mechanics, technicians,
engineers, and managers who work in the field of aviation maintenance.
The modern approach to maintenance is very sophisticated needing
sophisticated management, both in development of the initial maintenance
program and at the airlines to accomplish all that is necessary to maintain a superior
record of safety.
Technical Management
It takes several disciplines to properly conduct the maintenance activities at an
Airline:
(a) Maintenance: the hands-on, “nuts and bolts” labor required to accomplish
the physical work;
(b) Engineering: the design, analysis and technical assistance required to support
maintenance work;
(c) Management: the organization, control and administration of the many facets of
the maintenance operation;
(d) Production Planning: the planning concepts and organization activity to support
maintenance effectively to plan all required work;
(e) Logistics: understanding the aircraft inventory scope, realistic, futuristic, to meet
the continuous demand for parts required for a successful maintenance operation;
(f) Technical Training: to meet the demands of all required maintenance training
effectively.
We will be looking at the “big picture.” We shall be looking at maintenance,
engineering, and management as an integrated whole. We will examine how all
these disciplines combine and coordinate to accomplish the goals and objectives of
airline maintenance.
Aircraft Maintenance Engineers who desire to move into the management of
maintenance will gain valuable information about the overall operation of the
maintenance and engineering unit.
