Aircraft maintenance consists of three levels (Operational, Intermediate, and Depot) and two

types:

1.Operational level (O-level) maintenance is generally performed by flight-line personnel and

is usually focused on scheduled inspections/servicing and rapid repair of aircraft
discrepancies noted during or between aircraft flights (i.e., unscheduled maintenance).
2.Intermediate level (I-level) maintenance involves more extensive maintenance work, such
as major inspections and component repair and overhaul.
3.Depot-level maintenance involves extensive modification or overhaul to major aircraft
components.
