Structural Damage Report – overview

In the aviation industry, safety is the keyword and is related to the airworthiness of an aircraft. Likewise, a defect or damage in the aircraft has a significant effect on the safety of the flight. As such there are a number of regulations as set by the Federal Aviation Agency that regulates the airlines to ensure the continuous airworthiness of an aircraft. One such regulation is the Mandatory Documentation for Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC). As part of AMC, it is a mandatory requirement for all aircraft operators to maintain a damage report that details the structural repairs and allowable damage to the aircraft. Such recording of the damages in an aircraft is very significant as it effects offering a secure and safe environment.

However, in the manual method of recording damages involves physically marking damage points with a pen on a printed aircraft image where damage and assessment of such damage details are also noted down.
