 AVIATION ETHICS

October 20, 2023

I believe ensuring meticulous and ethical execution of maintenance procedures constitutes a crucial aspect of flight ethics, which I deeply prioritize. Regrettably, due to the evident expertise possessed by the maintainer, a considerable number of tasks are disregarded or expedited during the process of inspections and maintenance. There are instances wherein these maintainers encounter an excessive workload and attempt to expedite tasks beyond the strictly required timeframe. Maintenance-related issues contribute to approximately 20% of all fatalities in the aviation industry, primarily due to inadequate execution of these tasks. In addition to ensuring the airworthiness of the aircraft, aircraft maintainers also bear the responsibility of ensuring the safety of both the flight crew and passengers. Despite the infrequency of plane accidents, a 20% occurrence rate is excessively high for an incident that might have been easily prevented had a member of the maintenance team exercised caution and meticulousness undoing their duties. To foster a shift in perspective, it is imperative that this change in mindset originates from upper echelons of management and subsequently permeates across the organization. Regrettably, numerous organizations tend to prioritize expediting repairs to align with the aircraft's timetable, while neglecting other crucial considerations. This phenomenon contributes to the increased prevalence of the practice of saving money and expediting task completion. In conclusion, it is within the purview of groups to endeavor to alleviate the excessive workload of maintainers. However, it remains the responsibility of the maintainers themselves to execute their duties with integrity.
