Tech/Engineering - Aerospace / Aviation / Space / flight maintenance/safety

this term occurs in a report criticising pre-flight maintenance safety checks and interaction between pilots and maintenance personnel. Here is the context:

'Havia reuniões ordinárias onde deveriam ser tratados os problemas ...: porém, muitas vezes a reunião se consistia em chamada de atençao dos pilotos'

Any help (in English or Portuguese) greatly appreciated. Muito obrigado.
