Aviation technical records management is essential in ensuring aircraft safety, regulatory compliance, and efficient maintenance operations. Despite its importance, many aviation organizations still experience operational inefficiencies in documentation processes, such as delays, incomplete entries, inconsistencies, and human errors. These issues can disrupt maintenance workflows, increase administrative workload, and create challenges during regulatory audits. This study examines the causes and impacts of operational inefficiencies in aviation technical records management through a descriptive analysis of maintenance documentation practices. It focuses on both paper-based and hybrid recordkeeping systems commonly used in aviation operations. Findings indicate that inefficiencies are mainly caused by manual documentation processes, data entry errors, communication gaps between departments, and limited integration of digital systems. These issues often result in delays in record verification, increased workload for technical records personnel, and potential compliance risks during inspections. The study further proposes improvement strategies such as adopting fully integrated digital record systems, standardizing documentation procedures, and strengthening training programs focused on human factors and proper recordkeeping practices. Overall, the study highlights how technological, organizational, and human factors interact in aviation technical records management and provides practical insights for improving efficiency and compliance.
