What is a component

A component is a specific part installed on an aircraft that is tracked individually over its lifecycle.

This can include:

Components are tracked beyond simple inventory — they are linked to aircraft and usage.

Tracking components helps you:

Without component tracking, it is difficult to manage airworthiness properly.

In MaintSpace, components are linked to aircraft and tracked over time.

You can:

This ensures visibility across the entire lifecycle.

A component typically goes through the following stages:

Installed → In use → Maintenance due → Maintained → Reinstalled or removed

MaintSpace tracks this lifecycle to ensure nothing is missed.

It is important to understand the difference:

Once installed, the part becomes part of the aircraft’s operational tracking.

Components connect inventory and maintenance:

Components are installed parts on an aircraft that need to be tracked over time. Use components to monitor usage, maintenance status, and ensure full traceability.
