SofemaOnline (SOL) www.sofemaonline.com considers the best practices needed to ensure effective management of Technical Documentation within the Maintenance Control Centre

Introduction

Strong Management of Technical documentation is imperative for a well-run Maintenance Control Centre. Administration of technical document management should never be overlooked and can adversely affect smooth-running and operational effectiveness if not managed to a high level.

To support efficiency & safety we should ensure that we have the most appropriate systems and processes in place that can help support all associated business areas.

Introduction

International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO)  is the specialized United Nations (UN) agency responsible for promoting the safe and orderly development of world civil aviation by establishing standards and rules related to safety, efficiency, and flight regularity to environmental protection. 

Annex 8, Definitions

Steve Bentley MD of SAS (www.sassofia.com) discusses the various areas where the Maintenance Planning Process was able to become a precursor contributing to potential maintenance.

EASA commissioned a “Study on the need of a common worksheet/work card system” to evaluate the impact of maintenance documentation on the Human Factor concern.

(Specifications N°: EASA/2006/OP/25 On demand of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), BUREAU VERITAS conducted a “Study on the need of a common worksheet/work card system” from January to November 2007. The present document presents the results of this study.)

The study aimed at providing further insights on the use of documentation, the common practices in place between operators and maintenance organisations and to assess whether current rules and practices may still contribute to incidents/accidents.

Among other results, the study produced a list of incidents/accidents related to the use of maintenance documentation.
