“…The aviation sector is in the top ranks among the sectors with high value added where high technology is most considerably used (Bao and Ding, 2014;Hampson et al, 2012). Certification of maintenance organizations and personnel, education and training and information sharing and administration are challenges of the regulatory reform about civil and military aviation (Le and Lappas, 2015). Organization structurerecruitment and trainingis one of the main research areas in aircraft maintenance (Shanmugam and Robert, 2015).…”

Purpose With every passing day, the center of gravity for air traffic for the Middle East and Turkey is shifting toward becoming a center for airway transport, maintenance, repair, overhaul (MRO) and transfer. The MRO sector is gaining importance because of this increase in Turkey. The purpose of this study is to examine the future employability of the graduates receiving civil aviation maintenance training in Turkey. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses past seven years’ data about maintenance personnel of Turkey. It includes all-level students, recently working personnel and retired personnel of each year. Regression analysis and Markov analysis were used to show the prediction of aviation maintenance personnel. Findings The paper provides quantitative results about employability of maintenance personnel under the real numbers of alumni and working and retired personnel in Turkey. The results show that the number of graduates will be greater than the number of staff members in certifying categories in 2018. Presently, Turkey meets the employment expected, but in the future, aviation maintenance personnel number is rising, and there will be an excess number of graduates left over in Turkey. Research limitations/implications Because of the chosen region, Turkey, the research results may lack generalizability. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to conduct analysis for other countries which have an important role in aviation. Practical implications The paper includes implications for the government maintenance personnel policy and educational policy for managing all types of maintenance personnel in Turkey. Originality/value This kind of personnel needs analysis has not been done before, and this is the originality of this paper. It will in turn lead to an analysis of planning for allocation of maintenance staff and alumni. The authors collected all official numbers about maintenance personnel from Turkish Student Selection and Placement Center of Turkey, Turkish Technic and Turkish Civil Aviation Reports.

“…The selection process of military pilots favors physically and behaviorally fit and resilient individuals. As a consequence, health-related incidents, in general, are rare, but safety culture and aircraft maintenance related issues may be relevant in later aviation incidents (Soeters et al, 2000;Le & Lappas, 2016;Chatzi, 2018). To the best of our knowledge there are no studies on previous military pilots' fatal aviation accidents in their subsequent professional or private pilot aviation careers.…”

Military pilots undergo rigorous selection compared with civilian professional pilots because of different operational requirements. There are no studies of military pilots’ subsequent civil aviation careers and fatal pilot aviation accidents. This study focuses on Vietnam War (VW) pilots and subsequent fatal aviation accidents in the U.S from 1965 to 2018. In total nine aviation accidents met the inclusion criteria and are described in detail, including the pilots’ previous civil aviation incidents. The VW pilots were healthy, had valid Medicals and continued to fly in demanding pilot positions after their military careers. Although the data are limited, this study suggests that previous military pilots may differ slightly from other pilots in their subsequent civil aviation careers.

“…Many authors across the world emphasize the significance of aviation maintenance quality assessment (Gališanskis, 2004) and the airworthiness challenges that have to be faced in both civil and military aviation (Thian, 2015;Le & Lappas, 2015). The issues of the available multialternativeness in relation to airworthiness management and aircraft maintenance in fast developing economies of India and China are discussed in a recent publication (Kourousis & Comer, 2018).…”

Development of a Theoretical Approach to the Conditional Optimization of Aircraft Maintenance Preference Uncertainty

The paper builds on the ideas of previous research concerning the theoretical explanation of the aircraft operational process with regard to the preferences for maintenance organization by experts and aircraft operators, and describes the designed mathematical models. The problem of conditional extremization is considered. The uncertainty of aircraft technical operation multi-alternativeness is evaluated using the subjective entropy of the aircraft operators’ and experts’ preferences. By applying the subjective entropy extremization principle in view of its maximum, we obtain the conditional optimal distributions of the preferences. The proposed approach allows finding the optimal distribution of the aircraft fleet for the available maintenance alternatives, taking into consideration the restricted possible influences or shadow components of maintenance organizations. The concepts discussed here are important for evaluating the effectiveness of the aviation industry by making allowance for shadow parameters, if needed. The designed model is illustrated with diagrams.
