Maintenance and reliability of aircraft technology

Abstract

The paper deals with the maintenance and influencing the human factor in aircraft maintenance. The work is divided into three basic parts. In the first part of the paper, the aim was to describe the maintenance from a historical point of view, to describe the individual stages of maintenance and to summarize how to maintain the years of development. We also have specified individual types of maintenance, maintenance intervals. The most extensive part in the theory are the laws and regulations that must comply with when performing maintenance in the Slovak Republic. This part is indeed included, but we consider it important to mention it in the work. The second part of the paper is the analysis of accidents of commercial aircraft in commercial aviation for the last 3 years. The analysis contains 43 accidents, from which we came to a conclusion. In the first part of the analysis, we selected those accidents that occurred due to maintenance, and then from these accidents, we further determined which accidents occurred due to human error in maintenance. The aim was to determine whether the number of accidents in commercial aviation in civil aviation due to maintenance should increase or decrease, and subsequently, whether the number of accidents in terms of human factor inmaintenance would increase or decrease. The last part so the conclusion is of course focused on the evaluation of the results of the analytical part and the declaration of whether we managed to meet the goal of the paper.
