Lennundustöid

Lennundustöid refers to aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) activities. This encompasses a wide range of services performed on aircraft to ensure their airworthiness, safety, and operational efficiency. These tasks are crucial for the aviation industry, as they directly impact flight safety and the lifespan of aircraft.

The scope of lennundustöid includes routine inspections, scheduled maintenance checks, and unscheduled repairs. Routine inspections are typically conducted after a certain number of flight hours or calendar days and involve visual checks and minor adjustments. Scheduled maintenance, often referred to as A, B, C, and D checks, becomes progressively more intensive, involving detailed inspections, component replacements, and structural checks. Unscheduled repairs address unexpected issues that arise during operation, such as damage from foreign object debris or system malfunctions.

Lennundustöid also involves the overhaul of aircraft engines and components, which are often disassembled, inspected, repaired, and reassembled to meet stringent performance standards. Furthermore, it includes structural repairs, avionics maintenance, and interior refurbishment. These services are performed by specialized technicians and engineers in dedicated MRO facilities, often at airports or in industrial parks. Regulatory bodies like the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) set strict standards and require certifications for organizations and personnel involved in lennundustöid to ensure compliance with safety regulations.
