ED Decision 2023/013/R
1. Approval of an aircraft maintenance programme through a procedure established by a CAO/ CAMO should require the organisation to demonstrate to the competent authority that it has competence, procedures and record-keeping provisions, which will enable the organisation to analyse aircraft reliability, the instructions issued by the TC holder or the declarant of a declaration of design compliance, and other related operating and maintenance criteria.
2. According to the complexity of the aircraft and the nature of the operation, the maintenance programme procedures should contain reliability centred maintenance and condition monitored maintenance programme procedures and have procedures relating to the programme control which contain the following provisions:
(a) task escalation or adjustment,
(b) maintenance programme review,
(c) SB or Service Information assessment,
(d) component and structures in service performance review,
(e) maintenance programme revision,
(f) maintenance procedure effectiveness review and amendment,
(g) maintenance review board report (MRBR) or manufacturer maintenance planning document (MPD) review and assessment, as appropriate,
(h) AD review and assessment,
(i) owner/maintenance/CAO or CAMO liaison,
(j) training.
3. When the competent authority requests it, the organisation should make provision for the attendance of a representative of the competent authority at meetings held to consider maintenance implications arising from reviews of the above provisions.
