Records management

Accurate technical records keeping is essential to providing audit trails for tracking compliance, planning maintenance activities, and analyzing the operation of the maintenance organization.

Technical records include the condition and usage of assets, and the maintenance work performed on assets including the removal and installation of components.

Most record keeping occurs as a normal by-product of using Maintenix, as personnel in various organizations perform actions, enter data, and modify data in Maintenix. For example, engineering personnel record new maintenance directives and their applicability to specific tail numbers, and maintenance personnel record the work they perform and the parts they remove and install.

In addition to the normal day-to-day record keeping performed by personnel throughout the organization, technical records personnel are called on to record information for some activities. These activities include entering technical records for newly acquired aircraft and components, and responding to record discrepancies or problems encountered by other maintenance personnel.
