AMC M.A.302(g) Aircraft maintenance programme    

CAA ORS9 Decision No. 1

RELIABILITY PROGRAMMES

1. Reliability programmes should be developed for aircraft maintenance programmes based upon maintenance steering group (MSG) logic or those that include condition monitored components or that do not contain overhaul time periods for all significant system components.

2. Reliability programmes need not be developed for aircraft not considered complex motor- powered aircraft or that contain overhaul time periods for all significant aircraft system components.

3. The purpose of a reliability programme is to ensure that the aircraft maintenance programme tasks are effective and their periodicity is adequate.

4. The reliability programme may result in the escalation or deletion of a maintenance task, as well as the de-escalation or addition of a maintenance task

5. A reliability programme provides an appropriate means of monitoring the effectiveness of the maintenance programme.

6. Appendix I to AMC M.A.302 and M.B.301(d) gives further guidance.
