This work arises from the increasing need of systems to manage risks associated with aircraft operations in order to improve the culture of Safety by the Aircraft Operators, particularly in the case of the Department of Engineering and Maintenance of these operators. The motivation for this study began with the partnership with a company dedicated to operate heavy aircraft worldwide. It was studied the case of risk management associated with the Department of Maintenance and Engineering airworthiness and created a program (or more specifically a set of procedures, connected by a database) to assist the members of this department controlling situations that threaten the safety, airworthiness and profitability of their fleet. The analysis of applicable legislation in the case of Maintenance and Engineering Department was made, as well as studied programs for risk management in different contexts. After that, we have outlined the general procedure as well as the various components that complete the analysis and mitigation of adverse events associated with the activities of this department. The implementation of this program was followed for one year in this study being presented here the results obtained from the analysis of the collected information. This work increased the safety culture of this department, as well as assisted in the implementation of mandatory legislation, introduced by the various authorities that regulate the operation of this operator.
