• Generate Technical Services Items to support troubleshooting and repair of chronic and critical issues affecting on‑time performance or aircraft airworthiness.
• Ensure aircraft systems repair instructions are issued promptly for chronic and repeat discrepancies.
• Provide technical troubleshooting support using applicable maintenance manuals, repair data, component manuals, and other approved reference materials.
• Maintain and update the database for Operationally Significant Items, including Air Turn Backs, Diversions, and High‑Speed Rejected Takeoffs.
