Repair and maintenance of aircraft and spacecraft

NACE v2.0 Code: C33.16

About repair and maintenance of aircraft and spacecraft

NACE code 33.16 covers the repair and maintenance of aircraft and spacecraft, a critical industry that ensures the safe and reliable operation of these complex machines. This industry plays a vital role in the broader transportation and aerospace sectors, supporting the movement of people and goods around the world, as well as enabling scientific and technological advancements through space exploration. The repair and maintenance of aircraft and spacecraft requires specialized knowledge, skills, and equipment, making it an important contributor to the overall economy.

Production process

The repair and maintenance of aircraft and spacecraft involves a range of specialized techniques and processes. This can include the inspection, diagnosis, and repair of mechanical, electrical, and avionics systems, as well as the overhaul and refurbishment of major components. Technicians may use a variety of tools and equipment, such as diagnostic software, precision measuring instruments, and specialized repair tools, to ensure the airworthiness and functionality of these complex machines.

Production inputs

The repair and maintenance of aircraft and spacecraft requires a variety of inputs, including replacement parts, specialized tools and equipment, and highly skilled labor. Technicians must have extensive training and certification to work on these complex systems, and access to a reliable supply of genuine, certified replacement parts is crucial. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced diagnostic and testing equipment, as well as specialized facilities and infrastructure to accommodate the size and complexity of aircraft and spacecraft.

Production outputs

The primary output of the repair and maintenance of aircraft and spacecraft is the restoration of these machines to a safe and airworthy condition. This allows them to continue operating within the broader 51.10 Air transport and 30.30 Manufacture of air and spacecraft and related machinery industries. The industry also produces a range of specialized services, such as maintenance planning, technical support, and overhaul and refurbishment of components, which may be consumed by other related NACE codes, such as 52.23 Service activities incidental to air transportation.
