Abstract

During the full life cycle of civil aircraft, various problems are inevitable. Problems that fail to be closed and resolved in a timely manner form open problems. Reasonably judging the conditions for identifying open problems and effectively managing them—including classification, evaluation, tracking, documentation, and final closure—is of great significance for ensuring aircraft quality. Currently, there are no specialized mandatory regulatory requirements for open problem management of civil aircraft in China. By studying the open problem management schemes of EASA, SAE, and CAAC, this paper provides cases and guidance for domestic civil aircraft open problem management, and summarizes the key considerations that should be taken into account during the management process.
