    SAFETY REGULATION GROUP

    AIRWORTHINESS
    COMMUNICATION

    2009/18
    Applicability: Aircraft Owners, Operators and Continuing Airworthiness
    Management Organisations (CAMOs)

    MANAGEMENT OF THE LIGHT AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE PROGRAMME


    (LAMP) – CAP 766 AND CAP 767

    1 Introduction

    1.1 A number of enquiries have been received from the General Aviation
    community regarding the correct procedures to ensure that the CAP 766 and
    CAP 767 ‘Light Aircraft Maintenance Programmes (LAMP)’ are properly
    customised. This AIRCOM provides guidance on how to accomplish this task
    for aircraft subject to European regulations.

    2 Background

    2.1 The regulations set out in Part M1 require that an aircraft owner/operator,
    establishes an aircraft maintenance programme detailing all maintenance to
    be carried out (including its frequency), and any specific tasks linked to the
    type and nature of operations. The regulation also requires that the contents
    of the maintenance programme are periodically reviewed to ensure that it
    remains applicable and effective throughout an aircraft’s service life.

    3 Issue

    3.1 LAMP is a generic maintenance programme that requires customisation to


    ensure that the specific maintenance needs of each individual aircraft are
    properly captured. By following the process set out below and recording all
    additional specific maintenance tasks utilising a CAP 543 ‘Time Limited Task,
    Additional Inspections and Component Change Record’, or an alternative
    document or system approved by the CAA, this requirement is satisfied.

    4 Customisation

    4.1 When undertaking the customisation process the owner/operator must ensure
    that the following sources of information are investigated and, when
    applicable, incorporated into the LAMP. Owner/Operators may choose to
    contract a CAMO to perform this process:

    1
    M.A.302 (e)
    1 of 4
    i) instructions issued by the CAA/EASA;

    ii) instructions for continuing airworthiness issued by the Type Certificate


    or Supplemental Type Certificate Holders for the airframe, engine,
    propeller and any other applicable instructions issued in accordance
    with Part 21 (such as those published by the original equipment
    manufacturer (OEM) and repair design approval holders).

    Note: The instructions for continuing airworthiness published by the Type


    Certificate Holder for equipment installed on the aircraft may include
    tasks that address the same subject as those produced by the OEM.
    These instructions may, on occasion, differ from one another. When
    this situation is encountered it must be decided which set are the most
    appropriate, taking into account the type and nature of the operations
    being undertaken.

    4.2 Where it is established that the instructions for continuing airworthiness


    described in paragraph 4.1 ii) are more restrictive or include additional tasks
    not captured by the LAMP, the more restrictive limits and/or additional tasks
    must be applied.

    4.3 Alternative instructions for continuing airworthiness included in the material


    described in paragraph 4.1 ii), when considered appropriate, may be adopted
    in place of a generic task set out in the LAMP. All of the additional,
    alternative and more restrictive tasks identified by the customisation process
    shall be recorded in the way described in paragraph 3.

    Note: Figure 1 – LAMP Customisation Process illustrates the typical


    information that needs to be considered when compiling and reviewing
    a maintenance programme.

    5 Periodic Review

    5.1 The programme should be reviewed at least annually2, and amended


    accordingly. Owner/Operators may also choose to contract a CAMO to
    perform this review task. The purpose of the review is to ensure that the
    programme continues to be valid in light of the operating experience. It
    should also take into account any new or modified instructions published by
    the CAA, EASA, Type Certificate Holders, Supplemental Type Certificate
    Holders and any other organisation that is required to publish such data.

    5.2 When new or revised non-mandatory instructions have been published in the
    form of Service Bulletins, or other similar documentation, the Owner/Operator
    must consider the relevance of the instructions, taking into account the type of
    operations being undertaken. Before making a decision not to incorporate
    new or revised instructions into the LAMP, very careful consideration must be
    given to the potential consequences of this course of action, as LAMP is
    based on a preventative maintenance concept. Where it is decided not to
    adopt the new or revised instructions, an entry should be made in Part C of
    the aircraft log books3 to record the rationale for this decision. If the type of

    operation subsequently changes, such as changing from operating Visual
    Flight Rules (VFR) to Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) or the aircraft utilisation
    changes significantly, the aircraft Owner/Operator must establish if further
    revision to the customised elements of the LAMP is necessary.
