Industrial metrology constitutes the measurement foundation of modern industrial manufacturing systems. In the aviation industry, metrology serves as an indispensable technical support throughout the entire production and maintenance process. Therefore, the translation quality of aviation metrology technical texts deserves particular attention. Guided by Functional Translation Theory, this paper systematically constructs a research framework for the post-editing of aviation metrology technical texts from the perspectives of terminology and syntax. By analyzing typical problems in machine translation (MT) output and exploring how the principles of Skopos, coherence, and fidelity can guide post-editing practice, this study aims to provide reference and insight for translators engaged in technical translation in this specialized field, thereby improving translation quality.
