A Comprehensive Review on the Global Aviation Industry and Aircraft Maintenance Management Processes

Abstract

The vision of the Turkish Republic is to surpass the level of contemporary civilization, and one of the main principles to achieve this is "The future is in the skies." To make this a reality, it is imperative to establish a national and domestic aviation industry. The first step towards this goal is to ensure the safe operation of aircraft, which requires a maintenance management system. To create and use the necessary maintenance documents, an international standard management process should be followed for airframe manufacturers and component and part manufacturers in the aviation industry. Airline operators should then create their maintenance documentation according to this system and work with airplane maintenance organizations to ensure the airworthiness of their aircraft. This study discusses and evaluates the documents used within the essential management and organization principles framework, primarily focusing on the aircraft maintenance management system.
