According to Viktor Kondratjev, Head of Continuing Airworthiness Management Unit at FL Technics, the technology has already demonstrated substantial benefits — and its future potential looks even more promising.

Predictive Maintenance and Mobility

One of the key advantages of CAMO software is its ability to support predictive maintenance through real-time data analysis. “The software gathers data transmitted by aircraft in real time and runs it through specialised algorithms,” explained Mr. Kondratjev. “Engineers receive reliability patterns and adjust their maintenance schedules accordingly.”

By moving from reactive to risk-based maintenance strategies, airlines can minimise operational disruptions and improve fleet reliability. Mobile applications further enhance convenience, giving engineers direct access to maintenance dashboards on smartphones and tablets. “Previously, engineers had to rely on printed task cards or repeatedly return to terminals,” he added. “Now, they can sign off tasks digitally on-site.”

This shift reduces human error, accelerates maintenance turnaround, and streamlines compliance. Every completed task automatically updates the central CAMO system, ensuring real-time accuracy across all records.

Digital Record-Keeping and Efficiency

Long known for its reliance on paper documentation, the aviation industry is now embracing digital record standards such as ATA Spec 2500. “Having a standardised framework of record-keeping cuts down massively on how long it takes for CAMOs, lessors, and operators to exchange and review airworthiness data,” said Mr. Kondratjev. The result is lower administrative costs, faster aircraft transitions, and simpler regulatory compliance.

Challenges and Regulation

Despite the progress, concerns persist regarding data security, ownership, and regulatory approval. Migrating to cloud-based systems also introduces challenges related to reliable connectivity, staff training, and legacy system integration.

To address these issues, developers are prioritising compliance with new cybersecurity and airworthiness regulations such as EASA Part-IS, which mandates robust risk management practices in digital aviation environments.

AI and the Future of CAMO Operations

The integration of AI-driven assistants and digital twin solutions marks the next phase of evolution. These technologies can automate administrative tasks such as verifying compliance, retrieving technical documents, and analysing maintenance patterns. However, Mr. Kondratjev notes that successful adoption will require strong data frameworks, regulatory alignment, and organisational readiness.

As the MRO sector evolves, AI co-pilots are emerging as key enablers of efficiency and safety. For forward-thinking CAMOs, investing in the necessary infrastructure today could yield long-term operational advantages tomorrow.
