    Senior Technical Records Engineer at AAM - Aircraft Asset Management

    The Industry Steering Committee (ISC) comprises operators, manufacturers, and regulators
    who implemented the terms outlined in Advisory Circular AC 121-22A , based on use of
    ATA MSG 3 methodology to develop the scheduled maintenance program for a given aircraft
    systems structure and engines which results in the maintenance Review Board Report
    (MRBR). The MRBR is used as the source document for the MPD.

    The MRB Report outlines the initial minimum scheduled maintenance/inspection


    requirements to be used in the development of an approved continuous airworthiness
    maintenance program.

    The Maintenance Planning Document (MPD) document contains all the MRB requirements
    plus mandatory scheduled maintenance requirements that may only be changed with the
    permission of the applicable airworthiness authority. These supplemental inspection tasks are
    detailed in the aircraft’s Certification Maintenance Requirement (CMR) and Airworthiness
    Limitation (AL).

    Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR) –This is a required periodic task


    established during the design certification of the airplane as an operating limitation of the
    Type Certificate (TC). A CMR is intended to detect safety significant latent failures that
    would, in combination with one or more other specific failures or events, result in a
    hazardous or catastrophic failure condition. The CMR task interval should be designated in
    terms of flight hours, cycles, or calendar time, as appropriate. CMR tasks are failure-finding
    tasks, use of potential failure-finding tasks, such as functional checks and inspections, may
    also be appropriate.

    Example : CMR task is performing a visual inspection of the elevator tab rods and
    mechanism every 2000 flight cycles.

    Airworthiness Limitations (AL) - Airworthiness Limitations (AL) are a regulatory


    approved introducing inspections or maintenance practices to prevent problems with certain
    systems. Mandatory replacement times, inspection intervals and related inspection procedures
    for structural safe-life parts are included in the AL document, and are required by the
    regulatory authorities as part of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness.

    Example: AL task is performing a detailed inspection of the fuel tank wire bundles to
    prevent potential wire chafing and arcing to the fuel tank.

    The MPD document provides maintenance planning information which is necessary for
    operators to develop a customized maintenance Program. The document lists all
    Recommended scheduled maintenance tasks for every aircraft configuration.
