POSSIBILITIES FOR USE OF ELETRONIC DOCUMENTATION DURING AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY AND QUALITY

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the possibilities for use of electronic documentation in aircraft maintenance. Digitalizing these processes may have a big influence on their quality and can improve efficiency of performing repairs. Creating a paperless environment in aviation not only helps take care of environment but also simplifies maintenance processes. Research of a range of already existing IT solutions for aircraft maintenance regarding documentation confirms that using them instead of traditional means can improve efficiency and quality of aircraft checks. This can be achieved by reducing time to create documentation and minimizing amount of errors while filling paperwork.
