“A word means what we say it means—no more,

no less—and will be so defined”

BASIC MAINTENANCE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS PART 1 3

 DEFINING MAINTENANCE
TYPICAL
AIRLINE
From airline’s technical policies and procedures
DEFINITION manual (TPPM).

“those actions required for restoring or

maintaining an item in a serviceable
condition, including servicing, repair,
modification, overhaul, inspection, and
determination of condition.”

BASIC MAINTENANCE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS PART 1 4

 DEFINING MAINTENANCE

JOHN MOUBRAY
INDUSTRY CONSULTANT
UNITED KINGDOM Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM)
defines preventive maintenance.

“… ensuring that physical assets continue to

do what their users want them to do.”
Moubray, John, Reliability-Centered Maintenance, 2nd ed, Industrial
Press Inc., NY, 1997

 DEFINING MAINTENANCE

FAA
From FAR Part 1

“…inspection, overhaul, repair, preservation,

and replacement of parts.”

BASIC MAINTENANCE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS PART 1 6

 DEFINING MAINTENANCE

JACK HESSBURG
CHIEF MECHANIC
BOEING 777 DESIGN “Maintenance is the action necessary to
sustain or restore the integrity and
performance of the airplane.”

He goes on to say that maintenance

“includes inspection, overhaul, repair,
preservation, and replacement efforts.”

 DEFINING MAINTENANCE
HARRY
KINNISON
AUTHOR
AVIATION MAINTENANCE
Maintenance is the process of
MANAGEMENT ensuring that a system continually
performs its intended function at its
designed-in level of reliability and
safety.

BASIC MAINTENANCE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS PART 1 8

 TERMS USED FREQUENTLY IN AVIATION

INHERENT ✓ In-design level of perfection

RELIABILITY Nowlan and Heap state that
“the inherent reliability of an item is not the
length of time it will survive with no failures;
rather, it is the level of reliability the item will
exhibit when it is protected by preventive
maintenance and adequate servicing and
lubrication.”
✓ Both a function of the design and a
function of the maintenance program
established for it.
BASIC MAINTENANCE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS PART 1 9
 TERMS USED FREQUENTLY IN AVIATION
MECHANICS,
TECHNICIANS, ✓ Those who perform the scheduled
MAINTAINERS, and unscheduled maintenance tasks
ENGINEERS of the unit’s aircraft.
✓ Engineer is reserved for those
personnel who have college degrees
in one of the engineering fields.
Maintenance Task: Mechanics, Technicians
and Maintainers
Technical Services: Engineers

 WORD PAIRS USED IN AVIATION
VERIFICATION
✓ Verification means that a test or procedure
AND has been written and that, when READ
AND UNDERSTOOD by a knowledgeable
VALIDATION person, it is correct, adequate, and
acceptable for the purpose for which it was
intended.
✓ Validation, on the other hand, means that
the written test or procedure has been
PERFORMED BY AN APPROPRIATELY
TRAINED MAINTENANCE PERSON, and
the procedure, as written, is
understandable, adequate, and, most
importantly, proven to accomplish the
intended purpose.
BASIC MAINTENANCE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS PART 1 11
 WORD PAIRS USED IN AVIATION
OPERATIONAL
✓ Operational check
AND
“a task to determine if an item is
FUNCTIONAL fulfilling its intended purpose. This is a
failure-finding task and does not require
quantitative tolerances.”
✓ Functional Check
“a quantitative check to determine if each
function of an item performs within
specified limits.”

BASIC MAINTENANCE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS PART 1 12

 WORD PAIRS USED IN AVIATION
OPERATIONAL
▪ Check-out of a radio
AND
FUNCTIONAL

BASIC MAINTENANCE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS PART 1 13

 WORD PAIRS USED IN AVIATION
FUNCTIONAL
AND ✓ Functional Failure
The inability of an item to meet a specific
POTENTIAL performance standard. It is no longer satisfactory. It
FAILURE may have broken, or just lost capability to meet the
standard. It must be corrected.

✓ Potential failure
A detectable condition which shows that a
functional failure is imminent or could happen very
soon. Maintenance must be done if functional failure
is to be prevented. When potential failure is
detected, it alerts maintenance to perform actions
to reduce the probability of a functional failure.

BASIC MAINTENANCE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS PART 1 14

 WORD PAIRS USED IN AVIATION

GOALS AND ✓ A goal is a point in time or space where you want

to be; a level of accomplishment you want to
OBJECTIVES achieve.
✓ An objective is the action or activity you employ
in order to help you achieve a specific goal.

BASIC MAINTENANCE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS PART 1 15

 GOALS OF A MAINTENANCE
PROGRAM

1. To deliver airworthy vehicles to the

flight department in time to meet
the flight schedule.
2. To deliver these vehicles with all
necessary maintenance actions
completed or properly deferred.

The FAA requires maintenance to be

done at specified intervals and to
accepted standards.
Deferrals of certain items can be in
accordance with the MEL; others can
be deferred through the short-term
time escalation program identified in
the FAA approved maintenance
program.

 MAINTENANCE PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

FIVE The objectives of an airline in-service maintenance

OBJECTIVES program are as follows:

1. To ensure the realization of the inherent safety and

reliability levels of the equipment

2. To restore safety and reliability to their inherent

levels when deterioration has occurred

3. To obtain the information necessary for

adjustment and optimization of the maintenance
program when these inherent levels are not met
BASIC MAINTENANCE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS PART 1 17
 MAINTENANCE PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

FIVE 4. To obtain the information necessary for design

improvement of those items whose inherent
OBJECTIVES reliability proves inadequate

5. To accomplish these objectives at a minimum total

cost, including the costs of maintenance and the cost
of residual failures.

BASIC MAINTENANCE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS PART 1 18

 MAINTENANCE PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

FIVE These objectives recognize that

OBJECTIVES maintenance programs, as such, cannot
correct deficiencies in the inherent
safety and reliability levels of the
equipment. The maintenance program
can only prevent deterioration of such
inherent levels. If the inherent levels are
found to be unsatisfactory, design
modification is necessary to obtain
improvement.

 MAINTENANCE PROGRAM CONTENT

DISCUSSION OF
THE FIVE The maintenance program consists of
two groups of tasks:
OBJECTIVES
1. A group of scheduled tasks to be
accomplished at specified intervals.
2. A group of non-scheduled tasks
which result from
(a) conducting the scheduled tasks,
(b) from reports of malfunctions, and
(c) from data analysis.

 MAINTENANCE PROGRAM CONTENT

DISCUSSION OF
A maintenance program consists of
THE FIVE Objective 1: Scheduled maintenance
OBJECTIVES tasks to keep equipment and systems in
top operating condition
Objective 2: Unscheduled maintenance
tasks to address in-service failures
Objective 3: A continuing analysis and
surveillance activity to optimize the
total maintenance effort by improving
the maintenance program.

DISCUSSION OF
THE FIVE Objective 4: or by requesting a redesign
of equipment

DISCUSSION OF Activity 3
THE FIVE
a. The class shall be divided into 5 groups.
OBJECTIVES b. Each group must have a copy of the
Discussion for the Five Objectives.
c. Each member of the group must
understand and be able to discuss the
objectives.
d. The instructor will randomly select a
member of the group to discuss one of the
five objectives. Compliance will be based on
how the objective discussed briefly and
clearly.
