The events which have led to the intensive study of aircraft structural problems have contributed in no less measure to study of the human factors which influence aircraft maintenance and inspection. Initial research emphasis on aging aircraft maintenance and inspection has since broadened to include all aircraft types, both new and old. The role of today's aircraft maintenance workforce is indeed a complex one as it is strongly influenced by the need to maintain the broad technology mix embodied in the current fleet. Technicians must be equally adept at diagnosing and repairing "old-tech" 727, DC-9 type aircraft and "new-tech" 767, and MD-ll's. Their skills must include ability to repair sheet metal and composite materials; control cables and flyby-wire systems; round dials and glass cockpits. Their work performance is heavily influenced by others such as designers, technical writers, job card authors, schedulers and trainers. This paper describes activities concerning aircraft maintenance and inspection human factors.
