Computer CD-ROM

The use of computers with respect to aircraft maintenance manuals (and other publications) has the primary advantage of storing a huge amount of information that can be stored on one Compact Disc (CD). A single computer, located within a maintenance facility could have all the necessary publications (such as the maintenance manual, illustrated parts catalogue and wiring diagrams) for the relevant aircraft type, held on one CD.

As with the other two systems, there should be the facility to print the necessary information required with the limitation that the information is only valid ‘on-the-day’ and must not be used for repetitive jobs.

Updating computer-based systems is by simple replacement of the relevant CD-ROM, although there may be intermediate amendments.
