UTED International Articles

We often talk about pilots, cabin crew and the technology that keeps aviation moving.

But there is another critical group working largely behind the scenes: aviation maintenance professionals.

Their work is not only about aircraft, systems, tools and procedures. It is also about human performance, communication, teamwork, decision-making, fatigue, workload, leadership and safety culture.

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to explore some of these topics through my articles published in UTED International.

I am bringing them together here, with a particular focus on the human side of aviation maintenance and the people who carry this responsibility every day.

Below, I have listed the articles for anyone interested in:

• Issue 4 - Psychological Safety Among Aircraft Maintenance Technicians:A Catalyst for Safety and Performance-Eray Beceren

• Issue 5 - Psychological Safety: The Bedrock of High-Reliability Operations in Aircraft Maintenance-Eray Beceren

• Issue 6 - Beyond the Wrench: Why Emotional Intelligence is the Unsung Hero of Aircraft Maintenance-Eray Beceren

• Issue 7 - Team Emotional Intelligence: The Invisible Safety Net for Aircraft Maintenance Teams-Eray Beceren

• Issue 8 - Emotional Intelligence Against the "Dirty Dozen"-Eray Beceren

• Issue 9 - Emotional Agility as the Ultimate Human Factors Tool for Aircraft Maintenance Technicians - SOON :)

Because aviation safety is not created only in the cockpit.

It is built by every person who contributes to keeping an aircraft safe to fly.

I hope these articles provide some useful perspectives and, perhaps, start a conversation about the human side of maintenance.
