- Contexto
- While maintenance of these aging aircraft is ongoing, new technology aircraft are entering the fleets of many of the world's airlines, thus increasing the demands on aircraft maintenance. These new aircraft embody advanced technology such as composite material structures, "glass cockpits", highly automated systems and built-in diagnostic and test equipment. The need to simultaneously maintain new and old fleets requires aircraft maintenance technicians to be more knowledgeable and adept in their work than they may have been previously.
- “With the increasing internationalisation of the aircraft maintenance industry, accelerated by well-publicised events with aging aircraft, differences may be expected to disappear over time. However, this should be a controlled process leading to utilisation of the best features of different jurisdictions if the full potential of inspectors within the system is to continue to be realised.”
