Aircraft Reliability in the Management and Operation or aircraft plays a pivotal role in the management and operation of aircraft as being a mandatory requirement to monitor and consider. Though the scope of a reliability program is often categorized using ATA Chapters, such as the ATA100 group, it’s not solely determined by it.
Reliability management doesn’t operate in isolation, and it requires collaboration with various stakeholders or areas for example. including Powerplant – looking at the engines and APUs, or structures – looking at the structural components of the aircraft. A cohesive strategy necessitates that all areas and stakeholders’ concerns are addressed, and there needs to be seamless flow of information. Reliability is sourced from multiple areas and this needs to be reported in a timely and responsible way. Such procedures and the associated information flow should ideally be documented, most notably in the Continued Airworthiness Management Exposition (CAME).
