ICA (Instructions for Continued Airworthiness)

ICA, or Instructions for Continued Airworthiness, are detailed guidelines and information provided to ensure an aircraft remains safe and operational throughout its lifespan. They include maintenance schedules, inspection procedures, repair instructions, and parts replacement activities. ICA helps airlines, maintenance crews, and operators maintain the aircraft according to safety standards, addressing any wear, repairs, or updates needed over time. Essentially, it ensures the aircraft continues to meet safety and performance requirements, supporting safe and reliable flying long after its initial construction.
