Technical Publications

The Challenge

Handling technical publications at an airline presents many challenges.

Aircraft fleet operators must hold and manage vast libraries of technical documentation on equipment maintenance. Typically, a tech pubs group manages this documentation and provides it to the various internal and external organizations that will undertake the maintenance work, such as line maintenance organizations, engine and component shops, heavy maintenance organizations, and contracted MRO organizations.

Particular challenges faced by airlines include:

• Mixed fleets
• Frequent changes
• Multiple locations
• Compliance
• External organizations
• Large volumes of data
• Complex data distribution
