Maintenance Data
Reporting Discrepancies
In addition to an occurrence reporting system, where a problem has resulted in some soft of event, there should be an internal occurrence/discrepancy reporting system whereby staff can report inaccuracies or ambiguities in procedures, or, indeed, suggest better ways of doing particular tasks, such that procedures can be frequently updated and improved. This system must result in actions and improvements to the procedures, otherwise it will not be used by the workforce.
There is plenty of scope within AMO to provide consistency in its documentation. Indeed, Part-145 requires organisations to provide a common workcard or worksheet system for use throughout relevant parts of the organisation.
Access The best designed procedures are of little use unless they can be accessed and used by the engineers and technicians in real working environments. Organisations should ensure that they have an adequate number of computer terminals, printers, photocopiers, etc. to allow ready access to all necessary data and for that data to be printed.
