Introduction to Continued Airworthiness Management (CAM)

Subhani Shaik

Abstract: Continued Airworthiness Management (CAM) ensures that aircraft remain compliant, safe, and operational throughout their lifecycle. Traditional CAM relies on regulatory frameworks, maintenance programs, and OEM technical documentation such as Aircraft Maintenance Manuals (AMM). However, increasing fleet complexity and digital transformation in aviation have introduced Artificial Intelligence (AI), predictive maintenance, and digital twin technologies into CAM systems. This paper presents a comprehensive framework integrating regulatory CAM structures with AI-based predictive maintenance models. A methodology for data-driven airworthiness management is proposed, along with system architecture models for CAM operations, AMM-to-CAM workflows, and AI-enabled predictive maintenance pipelines. The study demonstrates how modern aviation is transitioning from reactive maintenance to predictive, condition-based airworthiness management.
