AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE PROGRAM & RELIABILITY

This intensive 3-Day course considers best practice processes for accomplishing the various tasks which together make up the challenging role of Maintenance Program and Reliability personnel. The primary purpose of this course is to provide delegates with a thorough understanding of the basics of the aircraft maintenance programs, considerations for developing initial maintenance programs, and assessing existing programs. This course is also advantageous for personnel who will be involved in the implementation of their organisation’s Maintenance Program. For operators of large aircraft and when the Maintenance Program is based on Maintenance Steering Group Logic (MSG) or on condition monitoring, the aircraft maintenance program shall include a reliability program. The purpose of a reliability program is to ensure that the aircraft maintenance program tasks are effective and their periodicity is adequate. In addition, the reliability program may result in the escalation or deletion of a maintenance task, as well as the de-escalation or addition of a maintenance task.
