Whether it is called a Maintenance Inspection Program (MIP), a Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP) or an Aircraft Maintenance Programme (AMP), the document does the same job: it turns the manufacturer’s planning data into the program one specific aircraft is maintained to, matched to its configuration, its modifications, the rules it operates under and how much it flies. AeroManuals develops and revises these programs for every operating rule and for both high-utilization (airline) and low-utilization (private and corporate) operation.
One program, different names under each rule
- Part 121: Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program under 14 CFR 121.367
- Part 135: CAMP under 14 CFR 135.411(a)(2) for aircraft with ten or more passenger seats
- Part 125: inspection program approved under 14 CFR 125.247
- Part 91: inspection program for large and turbine-powered multiengine airplanes, selected under 14 CFR 91.409(f)
- EASA Part-M: Aircraft Maintenance Programme under M.A.302, approved through the operator’s CAMO
- Other authorities: Bermuda and Cayman Islands (OTARs), Isle of Man, San Marino, Aruba, Transport Canada, UAE GCAA, GACA Saudi Arabia and other ICAO Annex 6 states
Aircraft
- Boeing: 727, 737 Classic and NG, Boeing Business Jet, 747, 757, 767, 777 and 787
- Airbus: A310, A318, A319, A320 and ACJ, A330, A340 and A350
- Business jets: Dassault Falcon 2000, 900 and 8X; Gulfstream G600 and G650; Bombardier Global
- Other: McDonnell Douglas MD-87 and Lockheed C-130/L-100
More than 150 aircraft in passenger, VIP, cargo and test-bed configurations, registered in more than 15 countries.
What the program includes
- Applicability of every MPD or MRBR task to the individual airframe, by serial number, configuration and modification status
- Airworthiness Limitations, CMRs and other mandatory items carried exactly as the manufacturer publishes them
- Engine, APU and STC maintenance requirements added to the airframe program
- Intervals and check packages suited to the aircraft’s utilization, including low-utilization programs for airliners in corporate service
- Reconciliation against your tracking system, such as CAMP Systems, with every difference listed for resolution
- A controlled document with a List of Effective Pages, per-page revision status and revision highlights, ready for authority review
- Ongoing revisions as the MPD, ADs and the fleet change. One operator’s Boeing 767 program has been carried through 16 revisions.
Frequently asked questions
Is a CAMP different from a maintenance inspection program?
In substance, no. CAMP, MIP and AMP are the names used under different rules and authorities for the program an aircraft is maintained to. The content requirements and approval route differ by rule, but the engineering work of building the program from the manufacturer’s data is the same.
Does my Part 135 aircraft need a CAMP?
Under 14 CFR 135.411, an aircraft type certificated for ten or more passenger seats, excluding pilot seats, must be maintained under a CAMP. An aircraft with nine or fewer seats may use the Part 91 and 43 inspection programs instead, or the operator may elect a CAMP.
Does Part 125 apply to my aircraft?
Part 125 applies to U.S.-registered airplanes with 20 or more passenger seats or at least 6,000 pounds of payload capacity that are not operated under Part 121 or Part 135 and are not carrying persons or property for compensation as a common carrier. Each Part 125 operator needs an inspection program approved under 14 CFR 125.247.
Is AeroManuals a CAMO?
No. AeroManuals prepares and revises the maintenance programme and supporting documents. Approval and ongoing continuing airworthiness management remain with the operator’s CAMO or the organisation the registering authority requires.
What do you need to start?
The current program if one exists, the manufacturer’s planning documents at their current revision, a status report from your tracking system, the aircraft’s configuration and STC list, the operating rule and registry, and the hours and cycles the aircraft flies each year.
