Managing an executive aviation fleet or an air taxi company requires absolute rigor. Keeping aircraft compliant with Brazilian civil aviation regulations (RBAC 91 and RBAC 135) is a daily challenge involving the constant monitoring of flight hours, cycles, life-limited components and scheduled inspections.
When Technical Maintenance Control (TMC) is managed manually using spreadsheets or disconnected systems, the risk of human error, missed deadlines and AOG (Aircraft on Ground) increases significantly.
This article explains how TMC automation can transform a company's operation and support compliance with ANAC requirements.
The main challenges of manual TMC in executive aviation
Companies operating under RBAC 91 (private/general aviation) and RBAC 135 (air taxi and public air services) face strict continuing airworthiness control requirements. The most common bottlenecks include:
- Scattered data: maintenance information spread across operations, repair shops and management spreadsheets.
- Complex validity calculations: simultaneous monitoring of hour meters, tachometers, landings (cycles) and calendar limits for each component.
- Audit risks: insufficient evidence of compliance with an Airworthiness Directive (AD) or Service Bulletin may compromise operational continuity.
How automation supports TMC for RBAC 91 and 135
Technology makes it possible to centralize and automate the fleet maintenance cycle. Specialized software reduces manual controls and provides direct advantages:
- Predictive expiration alerts: the system monitors aircraft hours and cycles and alerts the technical team before a component reaches its limit.
- History and traceability: maintenance, part replacements and Work Orders remain digitally recorded, making reports and audits easier.
- Operational integration: when a flight is completed, its hours can update the aircraft's TMC status without duplicate entries.
How the Cavok System simplifies TMC
For companies seeking efficiency and greater regulatory control, a specialized tool makes a difference.
