The Basics Of Aircraft Maintenance

The Basics Of Aircraft Maintenance

Proper aircraft maintenance is essential for keeping aircraft and aircraft parts in optimal condition, and ensuring the safety of pilots, crew, and passengers.


Repair stations and maintenance technicians perform maintenance and inspections on aircraft. The Federal Aviation Administration is responsible for certifying the repair stations and aircraft maintenance technicians (AMTs).
Repair stations are certified underFAR Part 145. AMTs are certified under FAR Part 65.
FAR Part 43 details the standards regarding the maintenance, preventative maintenance, and alterations of aircraft and aircraft articles and systems.
Aircraft maintenance
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is responsible for certifying repair stations in the European Union and member states.
AMTs maintain specific areas of aircraft depending on their certification and rating.
The different aircraft ratings are airframe (the aircraft body, such as the tail, fuselage, wings, and landing gear), power plant (engines and propellers), and avionics (electrical systems and instruments).
Most AMTs hold a dual airframe and powerplant FAA certification, and are referred to as A&P mechanics.

Maintenance Of Aircraft and the Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT)

Maintenance of aircraft is a comprehensive, ongoing process. The entire aircraft needs to be examined, maintained, and have the necessary parts replaced to uphold the safety standards mandated by the FAA.
Aircraft are required to be maintained after a certain period of calender time or flight hours or flight cycles.
Also, some aircraft articles have a specific life (flight cycle) limit, and need to be replaced immediately upon reaching the maximum use requirements.
Besides the aircraft articles that are due for replacement, all other parts need to be checked for faults or faulty performance.
Because of the noise of testing different systems, working long hours, and the expectations of maintaining high safety standards, being an AMT can be a stressful job.
Here are just some of the routine maintenance tasks performed by an AMT:
  • cleaning aircraft and components
  • application of corrosion prevention compound
  • lubricating parts
  • draining and trouble shooting fuel systems
  • checking and servicing hydraulics and pneumatic sytems
  • replacing components
  • inspecting for general wear and tear
A newer field of aircraft maintenance is working in avionics, which deals with electronic systems. These parts are vital for navigation and communications, and include radar, instruments, computer systems, radio communications, and global positions systems (GPS).
A strong knowledge of wiring and technical skills is required for working in avionics maintenance

AirAsia set to help Indian aviation fly high

Tuesday, 23 July 2013 · 0 comments



The aviation industry has essayed a stellar role in facilitating the growth of business and economy in our nation. A comprehensive civil aviation set-up is important for the smooth influx of investment, tourism and trade. This sector not only offers air transport for goods and passengers, but also plays a hand in the employment generation. If one glances through the Indian aviation sector, total passengers (in the domestic route) flown by domestic carriers between January-April 2013 stood at 20.289 million, according to official data. 

According to DIPP (Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion), the FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in this sector is worth $449.26 million between April 2000 and March 2013.

Market potential

A little less than 3% of Indians use the aerial route. The market size of the Indian aviation space is set to grow manifold in the next decade: from 60 million currently to about 450 million passengers. AirAsia, the latest entrant in this sector vows to put air travelling within the reach of India’s immense middle class.

AirAsia has one of the best business brains---Tony Fernandes---at its helm of affairs. Fernandes has displayed intellectual candor, a rarity in his Indian business peers. AirAsia could also ring in efficiency and a strong work ethic which is lacking in this sector. This airliner may do away with the freebie legacy which has badly hurt the aviation sector in India. The pilots of AirAsia are sufficiently trained to save on fuel which flying, landing and taking off—an endeavor which could go a long way in savings. AirAsia could bring in fresh focus on matters pertaining to pricing, commercial strategy and marketing. 

 
Apart from the airport charges and high jet fuel costs, AirAsia will have its task cut out as it will have to not only fight to garner the attention of every passenger but also lay emphasis on cost efficiency. With AirAsia entering the Indian skies, air travelers will have more option on their hands whilst the aviation sector sees a new lease of life.
