Abstract Aircraft air supply contamination from leaking oil and hydraulic fluids has a long history in commercial aviation. There is a wide range of aviation legislation covering the required processes to be followed when this type of defect occurs, including reporting, maintenance procedures, airworthiness requirements, crew fitness for flight and emergency procedures. A variety of evidence showing that contaminated air has an extensive and well-documented history will be examined. It is clear that the regulations are not being adhered to or enforced. A variety of issues emanating from these failures will be reviewed as well as suggestions made as to what can be done to effectively resolve them.
