Aviation glossary · Maintenance and productionLine maintenance
Work carried out between flights or overnight without taking the aircraft out of service: inspections, defect rectification and component changes at the gate or on the ramp.
Why it matters
Line work happens under time pressure and away from the office, which is why its records are the ones most often reconstructed later.
In AerSynx
Line, base, shop and internal work are planned and closed in the same place as the record, so nothing waits to be re-entered afterwards. Production →
