Managing pre-maintenance data – Part 2
In the last issue of Aircraft IT MRO, flydocs’ Director of Technical Publications, Steve Sayers, discussed pre-maintenance data: what it is, how it’s used, and how it’s organized and categorized. He also looked at some of the problems of digitized maintenance data, the difficulties of having to use different systems to access/use pre-maintenance data supplied from the OEMs, and briefly suggested how that might be overcome using a digital document management solution.
In this second part of the article, Steve looks more carefully into the problems of incompatibility between systems, where and how airlines and operators are already managing that data, where and why they cannot do so and some ideas as to how this could be resolved.
