Typically performed around every 8–10 years, depending on the aircraft type and maintenance programme, landing gear overhaul is a major planning item that should not be underestimated. While it may not attract the same level of attention as an engine shop visit, the cost exposure, spare availability, records impact, and downtime risk can be significant.

While not every hard landing results in damage or injuries, it still requires maintenance follow-up to ensure that any potential structural impact is idenitifed

Although serving similar purposes, each aviation authority applies its own framework for the approval and recording of structural repairs, particularly for repairs not covered within the SRM.

Here are some key examples of forms* you may need to check across different authorities.

While structural findings can occur at any time, understanding what tasks are performed during A-Check Vs. C-Check Vs. D-Check is key for proper planning

Even the smallest damage on the aircraft can lead to significant cost if not properly addressed 💰💵



To manage this, aviation maintenance rely on continuous traceability, one of which is through the Dent & Buckle Chart as the control document for structural damage.

Turboprops like ATR72s play a major role in SEA's aviation, but the high-humidity climate comes with unique challenges due to the high risk of corrosion.

A parked aircraft can cost thousands a day, but between parking duration to local environmental factors, the cost and maintenance action present many challenges

CFM56-7B series, have the -7B24, -7B26, and -7B27 have identical physical design but he difference lies in the configuration and approved settings, notably the number signified thrust rating for the specific engine.

Well-structured records make maintenance and audits easier. But to process physical records into usable digital records, you will need proper records indexing

Electronic aircraft maintenance records are reshaping how data is stored, verified, and shared, offering efficiency but also new challenges for the industry

As aircraft age, maintaining back-to-birth (BtB) records traceability become harder. Here are some key documents operators need to check and verify:

With retirement slowing and fleet age rising, operators rely on aging aircraft to meet air traffic demand despite higher maintenance costs and supply issues

While the core concept of reliability is the same, the way data is recorded and used differs across aircraft, components, and engines

Data has long guide aircraft maintenance planning, from reliability to staggering plan. Yet operators face challenges in ensuring its quality and usability

Excel can handle a lot. But as operations grow manual systems start taking more time and effort to stay accurate, making aviation ERP software worth considering

If your team is considering ERP, this article explains its benefits, common use cases, and highlights important questions for aircraft maintenance operations.

A successful aircraft entry is about knowing what to consider, what to plan, and what to worry about.

2024 has been a year of highs and lows for the aviation industry across Asia-Pacific, marked by new airlines, MRO growth, OEM updates, and ongoing challenges.

From flow process to key concepts behind aircraft maintenance schedule development, let's take a look into how maintenance program are structured and tailored
