What factors should be considered during the annual review of the aircraft maintenance programme under AMC1 ML.A.302(c)(9)?

The annual review should consider: (1) results of maintenance performed during that year; (2) results of the AR performed on the aircraft; (3) revisions to documents affecting the programme basis (e.g., ML.A.302(d) MIP or data from the DAH or declarant of design compliance); (4) changes in aircraft configuration and type/specificity of operation; (5) changes in the list of pilot-owners; and (6) applicable mandatory requirements for compliance with Part 21 or Part 21 Light (e.g., ADs, airworthiness limitations, certification maintenance requirements, and specific maintenance requirements in the TCDS or airworthiness data sheet).

What does the annual review of the AMP under ML.A.302(c)(9) require to be done with the results of maintenance performed during that year?

The results of the maintenance performed during that year should be taken into consideration, as they may reveal that the current maintenance programme is not adequate.

How can changes in the list of pilot-owners affect the annual review of the maintenance programme?

Changes in the list of pilot-owners should be taken into consideration during the annual review of the maintenance programme, as required by point ML.A.302(c)(9).

What is the role of the AR results in the annual review of the AMP?

The results of the AR performed on the aircraft should be taken into consideration during the annual review, as they may reveal that the current maintenance programme is not adequate.

What should be done with recommendations from the DAH that were initially disregarded, when defects are found during maintenance or AR?

When reviewing the results of maintenance and the AR, attention should be paid as to whether the defects found could have been prevented by introducing into the maintenance programme certain recommendations issued by the DAH or the declarant of a declaration of design compliance, which were initially disregarded by the owner, CAMO, or CAO.

Q: Which documents' revisions should be taken into account when reviewing the maintenance programme annually?

Revisions introduced on documents affecting the programme basis, such as the ML.A.302(d) MIP or the data issued by the DAH or the declarant of a declaration of design compliance.

Q: What mandatory requirements must be considered during the annual AMP review for compliance with Part 21 or Part 21 Light?

Airworthiness directives (ADs), airworthiness limitations, certification maintenance requirements, and specific maintenance requirements contained in the type certificate data sheet (TCDS) or airworthiness data sheet (for aircraft subject to a declaration of design compliance).

Q: Who may need to review the maintenance carried out during the last 12 months when assessing AMP effectiveness, and what records should they receive?

The AR staff (or the CAMO/CAO staff if the review is not performed in conjunction with an AR) may need to review the maintenance carried out during the last 12 months, including unscheduled maintenance. They should receive the records of all maintenance performed during that year from the owner/CAMO/CAO.

Q: When reviewing maintenance results and AR results, what specific attention should be paid regarding defects found?

Attention should be paid as to whether the defects found could have been prevented by introducing into the maintenance programme certain recommendations issued by the DAH or the declarant of a declaration of design compliance, which were initially disregarded by the owner, CAMO, or CAO.

Q: When reviewing AMP effectiveness, what type of maintenance should be included in the review of the last 12 months?

The review should include maintenance carried out during the last 12 months, including unscheduled maintenance.

ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE AMP

(a) During the annual review of the maintenance programme, as required by point ML.A.302(c)(9), the following should be taken into consideration:

(1) the results of the maintenance performed during that year, which may reveal that the current maintenance programme is not adequate;

(2) the results of the AR performed on the aircraft, which may reveal that the current maintenance programme is not adequate;

(3) revisions introduced on the documents affecting the programme basis, such as the ML.A.302(d) MIP or the data issued by the DAH or the declarant of a declaration of design compliance;

(4) changes in the aircraft configuration, and type and specificity of operation;

(5) changes in the list of pilot-owners; and

(6) applicable mandatory requirements for compliance with Part 21 or Part 21 Light, such as airworthiness directives (ADs), airworthiness limitations, certification maintenance requirements and specific maintenance requirements contained in the type certificate data sheet (TCDS) or airworthiness data sheet (for aircraft subject to a declaration of design compliance).

(b) When reviewing the effectiveness of the AMP, the AR staff (or the CAMO/CAO staff if the review of the AMP is not performed in conjunction with an AR) may need to review the maintenance carried out during the last 12 months, including unscheduled maintenance. To this end, he or she should receive the records of all the maintenance performed during that year from the owner/CAMO/CAO.

(c) When reviewing the results of the maintenance performed during that year and the results of the AR, attention should be paid as to whether the defects found could have been prevented by introducing in the maintenance programme certain recommendations issued by the DAH or the declarant of a declaration of design compliance, which were initially disregarded by the owner, CAMO or CAO.
