There is a growing concern about a forecasted increase in total aircraft accidents due to the expansion of the industry, and the contribution of aircraft maintenance to aviation safety. In that context, this article will examine aircraft maintenance control at the level of the maintenance professionals. Although no clinical testing can verify the attached thesis, this paper initially identifies the need to ensure suitable qualifications of personnel involved in the maintenance and certification of registered aircraft and aeronautical products. It continues by further defining maintenance control by examining current methods and the objectives of licensing. This results in dividing licensing concerns into three fundamental elements; technical or task based competency, regulatory or data control competency, and currency of experience.
