Instructions for Continued Airworthiness are operational safety data. Their availability must therefore be managed as part of product readiness, not as an administrative closure activity.
Map the interfaces
Late delivery may result from incomplete source data, design changes, certification dependencies, unclear ownership, publication lead time or weak entry-into-service governance.
A stronger control model
- Define maturity gates for ICA source data
- Track publication-critical dependencies explicitly
- Separate content readiness from formatting progress
- Escalate operator-impacting gaps before delivery milestones
