Aircraft maintenance refers to the processes and procedures involved in ensuring that an aircraft remains in a safe and operational condition. This includes routine inspections, repairs, and overhauls to various systems and components of the aircraft, such as the engine, avionics, and structural elements. Maintenance activities can be categorized into line maintenance, which involves minor repairs and inspections typically performed on-site between flights, and heavy maintenance, which requires more extensive work and is usually done in specialized facilities. Compliance with regulatory standards set by aviation authorities is crucial in aircraft maintenance to ensure safety and airworthiness. Regular maintenance not only helps to extend the life of the aircraft but also ensures passenger safety and operational efficiency.
