Write an essay that describes the role of aviation safety investigations in relation to aircraftcomponent failure or structural failure.From a simple single engine general aviation aircraft up to a complex airliner an aircraft is madeup of many systems – engine or engines, propellers/ fan blades, gear boxes, fuel systems,hydraulic systems, fuel systems, electrical systems, instruments and avionics, pressurization andair-conditioning systems –in airlines, for example. Likewise, aircraft structures include hulls,wings, tail-planes, fins, undercarriage, rotor blades in the case of helicopters. They are complexmachines.Keeping everything working safely is a complex business involving intense and closely managedmaintenance and the investigation of failures and issues.Your assignment should clearly identify an aircraft component, system or structure where failurehas occurred and make this the focus of your assignment. It should review the investigativeprocess itself and the corrective actions to show how these are communicated and actionedacross the international aviation community.A good start point would be take a specific component or structural failure investigation report(search investigative agency websites) and then broaden your assignment from there to coversuch issues as the history of similar component or structural failures to consider whether or notit is an original design problem, is it a materials failure, has there been inadequate inspection ormaintenance, has there been operational overload? Comment also on the corrective actionswhich are likely to involve steps such as service letters, operational restrictions, airworthinessdirectives right through to mandatory groundings of the aircraft type or those fitted with thefaulty components.A very complex current example would be the Boeing 737 Max 8 grounding as result of concernswith the software and sensor operation in relation to the Manoeuvring CharacteristicsAugmentation System (MCAS). A different example would be the wing-spar failure on a PiperPA28R in the United States in April 2018. A wing spar is a very central component and worldwide the number of Piper PA28 model aircraft potentially affected by the investigation is overthirty thousand.There is no shortage of investigations into aircraft component failures and structural failures foryou to focus your assignment around. By now you should be familiar with AirworthinessDirectives, Service Letters/ Service Bulletins and Continuing Airworthiness Notices which arisefrom operational issues. These will trace back to issues, problems and failures and are primemeans of rectification and safety management.
