  • Classify defects by severity and determine which vehicles must be grounded.
  • Maintain audit trail documentation that demonstrates ongoing compliance.
  • Coordinate defect closure between workshop, compliance and operations teams.
  • Prepare vehicles and documentation for external roadworthiness testing.
