ENGINEERING
TECHNOLOGY PROFICIENCY IN AVIATION INDUSTRY
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) revealed that present trends in air transport suggest passengers numbers could double to 8,2 billion in 2037. Indonesia is forecast to be a standout performer-climbing from the world’s 10th largest aviation market in 2017 to the 4th largest by 2030. Growth in this market is being driven by a combination of combination of continued robust economic growth, improvements in household incomes and favorable population and demographic profiles. Indonesia has great prospect and challanges in aircraft industry due to domestic & international passenger carried and craft growth.

As we know, that aviation industry has the characteristics such as high safety, high technology, high speed, high competition, high cost, high capital and high regulated. Which is those characteristics require human capital or man power who has high degree of technical knowledge, profiency, dexterity and integrity especially for mantenance engineers. Aircraft maintenance engineers are responsible for the maintenance, control, and repair of specialized aircraft instrumentation and parts. Their task is to research, design, manufacture and maintain aircraft.
In carrying out its
operations, the airlines integrate with aircraft maintenance organization or
company called MRO. An MRO is a Maintenance
and Repair Organization. Therefore, naturally, an aviation or aircraft MRO
is a company which specializes in performing maintenance actions on aircraft
and their components, such as jet engines and landing gear.
MRO can perform line or
base maintenance. Base maintenance organizations will generally be quite large
companies, owning a hangar (which is required for base maintenance) and
employing a vast group of people to perform base maintenance tasks. Line
maintenance organizations are mainly required to provide necessary, minor
maintenance tasks in between flights and usually done in the airport.
The maintenance programs currently in use in
commercial aviation were developed by the industry using two basic approaches :
1. The Process-oriented
approach – to maintenance uses three primary maintenance processes to
accomplish the schedule maintenanceactions.
§ Hard
Time (Preventive maintenance) à
used for components that have definite time limits.
§ On
Condition (Preventive maintenance) à
used for components that have defectable wear periods.
§ Condition
Monitoring (Non – Preventive maintenance) à
used for components that cannot utilize either HT or OC.
2. The Task-oriented
approach – to maintenance uses predetermined maintenance task to avoid
in-service failure.
Purpose of
maintenance :
1.
Equipment reliability
2.
Least operating cost
3.
Defect elimination
4.
Maximum production
5.
Risk reduction
6.
Failure avoidance
