The Use Of Incident Reporting Systems, Inspections And Auditing

Satisfactory Essays

Hazards exist in every organization and they are usually detected by the use of incident reporting systems, inspections and auditing. Proactive is an excellent use by an organization to mitigate hazards. In fact, the proactive method can be define as actively seeking hazards in the existing process. The aircraft line maintenance seems to perform proactive duties or carries out routine services for the aircraft and repairs the damage before disaster strikes. Take A-check for example. This check is done overnight at the ramp tower or at the gate of the airport. The A- check is performed between every 500-800 flight hours. These are done to keep the aircraft safe in the air. The mechanic usually check the important components of the aircraft, such as engine, the flap, and performs periodic system check as lubricating the oil change and filter change. The external visual inspection of the aircraft structure for evidence of damage and deformation; corrosion or missing parts are all part of A-check. They check the crew oxygen system pressure, check for emergency lights, and lubricate nose gear retract system. If the landing gear fails to retract or fail to come out of the aircraft, it can cause a disaster for the airline organization. In view of this, the engineers need to ensure that the aircraft is safe for the next flight. More so, the mechanics have to make sure that a final decision of whether the aircraft should be delayed if they cannot fix the problem
