Aircraft Maintenance Special

After some research and theorizing, I decided to start a parallel blog that deals with many issues associated with the Aircraft Maintenance Industry, but those that fall outside the domain of The CAR Conundrum.
The blog is called Aircraft Maintenance Special, and you may check it out for matters that are more general in nature, in the context of this blog. Aircraft Maintenance Special will deal with far broader domains than just the C.A.R. It will include discussions on Airframe and powerplant maintenance, new technologies that are in the pipeline or already existent.
The textbooks on Aircraft maintenance are being re-written ever so often. And the reason behind that is the evolution of aircraft maintenance, driven by economics and the environment. We can no longer have in the cockpit items that are “good-to-know”. What we have now is what “we NEED to know”…just that…no unnecessary items…no clutter. It calls for simpler presentation, simpler components, and proportionately simpler maintenance tasks. But, there are stumbling blocks here too! Read more at the AM special blog!
