Where can you typically find the ADB?

The ADB, or Aircraft Data Baseline, is primarily found in maintenance control and OOMA (Optimized Organizational Maintenance Activity). This location is critical as the ADB contains essential information regarding the status and maintenance history of an aircraft, which is necessary for effective aircraft management and maintenance planning.

Maintenance control serves as the hub for managing maintenance schedules and tracking aircraft readiness, making it the obvious choice for housing the ADB. OOMA is an automated system that assists in various maintenance activities, with the ADB being a vital resource that contributes to the accurate reporting and analysis of aircraft data.

In other areas like the flight operations center, pilot briefing room, or hangar office, while there may be relevant information regarding the aircraft, they do not provide the dedicated tracking and data management functions that are available within maintenance control and OOMA. Thus, these locations are not suited for housing the ADB, which is tailored for the maintenance team’s operational needs.
