The FAA, in its report “Technical Documentation Challenges in Aviation Maintenance”, highlights the significant impact of poor-quality technical documentation on the aviation industry:
i. Safety Risks: Up to 20% of operational incidents are linked to errors from inadequate documentation.
ii. Increased Operational Costs: Rework, delays, and regulatory penalties affect operational efficiency and profitability.
iii. Productivity Challenges: Lack of standardization and confusing manuals hinder the execution of critical tasks.
The report proposes key solutions, such as enhancing manual usability, fostering collaboration between industry and regulators, and establishing clear standards for creating and maintaining technical records.
As part of aviation professionals, we face these issues every day and because of putting our attention in manual or technical execution priorities, we don’t realize proper documentation is also part of maintenance solution activities.
📌 Conclusion: Technical documentation is not just an administrative task; but a critical pillar for ensuring safety, regulatory compliance, and financial sustainability in the aviation industry.
