AEA Takes A Stand On Inerting Controversy

The Association of European Airlines issued the following statement, concerning aviation maintenance, as it relates to the continuing controversy over inerting fuel tanks: “Human error creates continuing risk. Each attempt to fix an electrical system presents the possibility of an inadvertent introduction of a new ignition source. Maintenance oversights, such as the failure to properly install electrical bonds or improper installation or overhaul of components, compound the possibility of an ignition source developing.” For more on the subject, see the next issue of Aviation Maintenance magazine.
