MRO Software Development (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul)

Work package creation from scheduled maintenance inputs -- airworthiness directive due dates, component life limits, scheduled check requirements, and deferred defects from the previous check -- consolidated into a single work scope for the visit. Task card generation from the approved maintenance data -- aircraft maintenance manual, component maintenance manual, or service bulletin -- with the document reference, revision, and applicable aircraft registration recorded on each task card. Additional task management for work found during the check -- access requirements that generate additional task cards, deferred defects that are added to the work scope, and customer-requested work that is tracked separately from the scheduled maintenance scope. Work package sign-off tracking showing the completion status of every task card in the package, with the total work scope visible to the production planner without having to collect paper from the hangar. Man-hour estimation from the task card library for each check type, enabling the production planner to load the work package against available engineer capacity before the aircraft arrives.

Task card format configured to your organisation's approved format -- your maintenance organisation exposition defines what a task card must contain, and the system produces cards in that format rather than a generic one. Approved data reference management linking each task card to the specific document, section, figure, and revision that authorises the maintenance task, with revision alerts when the referenced document is superseded. Sign-off block configuration matching your approval -- single sign-off for B1/B2 certifying staff, inspector and certifying staff dual sign-off for structural repairs, or the specific sign-off structure your exposition defines for each task category. Additional task card generation for work found -- the engineer raises an additional task from the inspection finding, the system creates the task card with the approved data reference, and the additional task enters the approval and scheduling workflow without paper. Digital task card access on tablet in the hangar so engineers can view the task, the approved data reference, and the previous task history without leaving the work area.

Engineer authorisation record capturing each engineer's licence type, ratings, type qualifications, and current authorisation scope -- the basis for matching engineer to task card without relying on the production planner's knowledge of who can sign what. Task card assignment matching the task card's required authorisation category against the available engineers, preventing assignment of a task to an engineer whose authorisation doesn't cover the work. Availability management showing which engineers are available for each shift period, taking into account scheduled leave, training, and other work package commitments. Assignment dashboard giving the production planner a view of the work package's task cards, their completion status, and the engineer assigned to each, in one screen. Authorisation expiry alert when an engineer's licence, type rating, or medical is approaching its renewal date, so the quality team can act before the engineer's authorisation lapses.

Parts requirement identification from the task card's parts list linked to the stores inventory, showing which required parts are in stock, which need to be ordered, and which are currently reserved for another work package. Reservation of required parts against the work package before the aircraft arrives, preventing parts being committed to two work packages simultaneously when inventory is limited. Kitting workflow where the stores team picks the reserved parts for each work package and records the batch and serial numbers of the issued items against the task card. Serviceable part certificate storage -- Form 1, 8130-3, or equivalent release document -- linked to the inventory record and the task card where the part was installed, creating the traceability record required for continued airworthiness. Loan tool and equipment tracking where specialist tools are issued from the tool store against the task card and recorded as returned when the task is complete, with overdue return alerts for tools still issued when the work package closes.

Task card completion recording capturing the certifying engineer's details, the completion date and time, the specific work performed, and any observations relevant to the next maintenance interval -- all linked to the task card rather than a separate paper record. Non-conformance recording for tasks where the work completed deviated from the task card instruction, triggering a quality review before the task can be signed off as complete. Deferred defect recording for items identified during the check that cannot be rectified within the work package -- the deferral reason, the approved deferral basis, and the due date for the deferred item carried forward to the next maintenance planning cycle. Check completion summary showing the production planner every task card in the work package, its completion status, its sign-off status, and any open items requiring resolution before the aircraft can be released. Digital signature capture linked to the certifying staff record so the completion record includes the individual's name, licence number, and authorisation stamp without a wet ink signature requirement.

Release to service checklist confirming that every task card in the work package is complete and signed off, all deferred defects are documented and approved, all parts installed have serviceable release documentation, and the aircraft technical log is updated -- the system flagging any incomplete item that would prevent release. Certificate of Release to Service generation from the work package data -- the aircraft registration, check type, station, date, and certifying staff details populated from the records without manual transcription. Maintenance release entry to the aircraft continuing airworthiness record, updating the aircraft's maintenance status so the airworthiness management system reflects the completed check and the new next-due intervals. Customer delivery documentation package generation -- certificate of release to service, weight schedule if applicable, and any other documentation required by the aircraft owner or operator -- compiled from the work package records. Post-release archive of the complete work package -- all task cards, parts records, non-conformance records, and the release certificate -- retained in the system for the regulatory minimum period and accessible for audit without physical document retrieval.
