BACKGROUND: Aircraft maintenance and repair are critical tasks in the aviation industry for improved aircraft service and safety. Many articles and reports describe personnel factor and skill issues contribute to many aircraft incidents. Aircraft maintenance personnel needs to level up their skill set to match with task requirements in the setting of Industry Revolution 4.0. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper is to investigate document set that describe human errors and skill mismatch as a human factor in aircraft incidents and problems. It also discusses on the findings and management of the aircraft maintenance skill issues. METHODS: The study uses a document analytics tool to assess a set of online articles that discuss aircraft maintenance incidents and skill mismatch issues. The experiment is divided into four (4) modules: I collection of online articles and reports, (ii) document pre-processing, (iii) text analytics, and (iv) visualisation. RESULTS: The experiment’s results show that the majority of documents discuss aircraft maintenance, skill mismatch, and training gaps. CONCLUSION: We can conclude that the document dataset primarily discusses aircraft maintenance and skill set issues using the document analytics. Consequently, the management of aircraft maintenance workforce skill set issues by having initiatives for upskilling and reskilling Furthermore, firms should foster a culture of continuous learning and develop a mindset among their employees that allows them to adapt to new technologies and information in aircraft maintenance.

Small Aircraft

Cloudiness and range of visibility are the most significant flight conditions for aircraft. The impact of clouds and visibility on the safety of aircraft flights, especially small aircraft, cannot be overestimated. According to the Interstate Air Committee, Kazakhstan ranks second in the number of aviation disasters. The average age of a third of Kazakhstan's small aircraft is more than 30 years. Over the past few years, 14 air accidents have occurred in the Republic of Kazakhstan, 11 of them with small aircraft. In this work, we investigate long-term data on cloudiness and visibility at the most weather-favorable airfield in Balkhash, for the possibility of safe and economical flights of small aircraft and planning training flights.

This article is dealing with airline industry standards regarding reliability reporting and with practical aspects of reliability program deployment within an operator’s organization. Reliability program is a tool for monitoring the effectiveness of aircraft maintenance program. Apart from being an effective tool for maintenance program development, the reliability program can bring to light flaws in aircraft design, discrepant operational procedures, discrepancies in line and base maintenance. Reliability program is also considered to provide very valuable means for achieving better operational performance (through decreased maintenance-related problems in operation) and increased flight safety. For this reason, reliability programs are mandated by the regulations for all commercial operators. Even though there is a general industry standard regarding maintenance reliability programs, it still has to be customized and optimized by each operator in order to gain the most out of it. Organizational procedures will vary significantly from one operator to another, reflecting the size and structure of the monitored fleet, size of the operator and its engineering power. As maintenance reliability program involves the application of statistic methods in finding systematic negative trends, the bigger the size of the fleet, the more accurate and reliable results can be achieved. This work is outlining the existing airline industry standards and good practice in carrying out maintenance reliability program. KEY WORDS: aircraft maintenance program, maintenance reliability program, flight safety, small airline operator

Web Based Education

Web-based education (WBE) and training is growing by leaps and bounds, and the market is expected to reach almost 28.6 billion by the year 2006 (IDC, 2001). Technological advancements and student demands have necessitated a shift from a “brick and mortar” synchronous environment to a “click and learn” asynchronous environment. Students are demanding anytime, anyplace accessibility, and universities are obliging by bringing education to students. The instructor’s role is changing from “lecturing” to “facilitating,” and the student’s role is changing from “recipient” to “participant.” These virtual students require virtual convenience and are opting for a “complete” online education, from admission to graduation. In this chapter, the steps involved in Web education, from three major stakeholders’ perspectives—the faculty, the student, and the technical personnel—are discussed, and ways of providing online conveniences are discussed, based on the author’s experience.
