 abstract={This study set out to evaluate the hole diameter measuring method used in aircraft seat tracks. The Gage R&R study’s conclusions point to the measuring system’s accuracy and dependability, with the measuring tool serving as the main source of variance. The measurement method works well for production and quality control applications, but regular calibration and maintenance are needed to ensure accurate and consistent results. To reduce any potential operator-introduced variation, regular operator training and assessment are also required. To guarantee the security and effectiveness of the seat track assembly, it is essential to measure the hole diameter of the airplane seat track properly. The study’s findings show that the measuring system can generate precise measurements that are helpful for production and quality management. To establish the precision of the measurement technique, however, more investigation with a greater variety of components is required. To improve the repeatability and reproducibility of the measurement system, the sources of variance should be investigated, and remedial actions should be taken. To make sure the system stays within the permissible range of fluctuation, it is also advised to monitor it throughout time. In conclusion, it is critical to select the proper materials, put them through rigorous testing and certification processes, and constantly inventing and upgrading them to assure the safety and effectiveness of aircraft seat tracks. The seat track hole diameter measurement system is dependable and precise, but to keep it that way, ongoing testing, and evaluation are required.},
