AOG (Aircraft on Ground) is a critical aviation term used to describe a situation where an aircraft is unable to fly due to technical or mechanical issues.

*AOG situations often require immediate attention to minimize downtime and get the aircraft back flying as quickly as possible.

Aircraft ground engineers or aircraft maintenance technicians, play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and airworthiness of an aircraft. They do much more than apply speed tape and WD-40 squeaks.

Ground Engineers conduct regular inspections and routine maintenance to identify and address potential issues before they become serious problems. This includes checking systems, components, and structures for wear and tear operational limitations.

Engineers perform scheduled inspections at specified intervals to ensure the aircraft complies with aviation regulations and safety standards. They carry out necessary repairs and replace faulty components to ensure the aircraft is safe and ready for operation. This can range from minor fixes to major overhauls.

Ground Engineers ensure all maintenance activities comply with aviation regulations set by authorities such as the CAA, FAA, and EASA. The primary goal of ground engineers is to ensure the aircraft is airworthy and safe for flight. This involves meticulous attention to detail and a thorough understanding of aircraft systems and by addressing potential issues proactively and effectively, ground engineers help mitigate risks associated with mechanical failures or malfunctions during flight.

Engineering also supports us with inflight monitoring of systems and can provide real-time diagnosis and assistance via telex or sat-phone.

X In AOG situations, ground engineers diagnose and fix the issue as quickly as possible, minimizing operational disruptions to get us flying again.

Thanks to every aircraft engineers for doing the great job.
