frequently asked questions

Many times, we are asked, “what is the difference between Quality Control and Quality Assurance?”. The answer is quite simple.  Quality Control are your “flashlight and mirror” checks to verify that maintenance and inspections are performed according to the published data and to the required technical standards.  Quality Assurance is the regulatory compliance check of your operation by auditing your documentation, inspection programs, airworthiness directives, and maintenance tracking.

Tracking systems show what you have to do, when to do it, and the last time it was done.  This is great.  However, we have found that tracking systems can have incorrect information logged.  This may be due to many factors such as operator error, next due, or even inaccurate or incomplete compliance statements.  We can review your tracking system to ensure its accuracy and completeness.
