Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and aeronautical industry literature review, providing insights related to strategies of MRO business models. The fundamentals of MRO services and the aeronautical industry have been identified through an extensive literature review. The impact of the MRO outsourcing model was then investigated from the perspective of each stakeholder (aircraft original equipment manufacturers -OEMs, repair shops, system suppliers and airlines) using a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis. First, MRO basic concepts were identified: how FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) classifies repair and how MRO is performed. This study also analyzed a simplified parts and MRO services flow in the aeronautical industry, characterizing two important stakeholders: customers and repair shops. Although the production parts purchasing process is fairly simple, the spare parts process requires more attention due to the many players involved. Finally, the SWOT analysis identified strong competition between stakeholders; however, the investigation indicates that there is a tendency for the market to build partnerships between stakeholders to expand market penetration.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
