Annex VII: Aircraft Maintenance Program Guidelines
Aircraft Model :
All models
Applicability : EASA and FAA environment
1. Introduction
The Operator’s or Aircraft Maintenance Program (OMP or AMP) is an operator customized program to
maintain the operator’s fleet of aircraft. The basis of the program should be the MRBR as a minimum, but
usually the manufacturer’s MPD is used as a basis, which is more detailed. The AMP lists all the maintenance
tasks applicable to the operator’s fleet of aircraft, together with their interval, task description, manual/task
card reference, and applicability on aircraft level. Next to the MRBR/MPD tasks, the AMP contains
supplemental tasks introduced by specific aircraft configurations, modifications installed, and repairs
performed, if applicable. These additional ICAs are usually listed in a separate section of the AMP, but can
also be blended in with the other tasks. In addition, the AMP will usually feature (non-mandatory) tasks
introduced by the experience and operating environment of the operator, such as winter servicing, and
reliability and passenger comfort improvements.
The AMP should be reviewed and amended periodically, to accommodate new and/or modified maintenance
instructions issued by the (supplemental) type certificate holder and other organizations issuing ICAs.
