Maintenance Programme (IHP) for- non-complex motor-powered aircraft
and for aeroplanes with- 2 or more turboprop engines and
- a maximum certified take-off mass between 2.730 and 5.700 kg
which are not operated commercially.Aircraft Maintenance Programme (AMP) for- complex motor-powered aircraft and/or
- aircraft used in commercial air transport (CAT, NCC).
AMP / IHP Application
The application for the approval of an aircraft maintenance programme shall be submitted to the relevant department of Austro Control GmbH or airworthiness@austrocontrol.at, accompanied by the following documents:The application for the approval of an aircraft maintenance programme shall be submitted to the relevant department of Austro Control GmbH or , accompanied by the following documents:IHP:- completely filled and singed IHP-form
- aircraft maintenance programme acc. M.A.302 of Regulation (EU) Nr. 1321/2014
AMP:- completely filled and singed AMP-form
- aircraft maintenance programme acc. M.A.302 of Regulation (EU) Nr. 1321/2014
- AMP Compliance Checklist
IHP Preparation and Approval
Austro Control GmbH provides an optional form for the preparation of an IHP according M.A.302 of Regulation (EU) 1321/2014.Template Maintenance Programme Part-MThe Maintenance Programm (IHP) and all subsequent revisions must be approved- by Austro Control GmbH or
- by a CAMO / CAO with an indirect approval privilege.
AMP Preparation and Approval
For complex motor-powered aircraft and/or aircraft used in commercial air transport the preparation of an Aircraft Maintenance Programme (AMP) document acc. M.A.302 of Regulation (EU) 1321/2014 is necessary.Austro Control GmbH provides the following standardised Aircraft Maintenance Programme Checklist for the preparation of an AMP. The Aircraft Maintenance Programme Checklist provides a guideline for the preparation, content and structure of an Aircraft Maintenance Programme (AMP) and also serves as an “AMP Compliance Checklist” related to Appendix I of AMC M.A.302 and AMC M.B.301 (b) - “Content of the maintenance programme” of Regulation (EU) 1321/2014.
It shall be submitted in an up-to-date version whenever the Aircraft Maintenance Programme (AMP) will be directly approved and it’s completeness shall be confirmed by the responsible PCA. The column „AMP reference“ resp. „Task reference“ needs to be completed or a reason if something is not applicable must be stated. The specific points and procedures shall be either covered in the AMP (aircraft- or fleet-specific) or in the CAME (across the fleet). Therefore, provide the AMP- and/or CAME-reference number (only the reference to the AMP or CAME is insufficient).
The Aircraft Maintenance Programme (AMP) and all subsequent revisions must be- submitted to Austro Control GmbH for approval or
- approved by a CAMO / CAO with an appropriate indirect approval privilege.
This is applicable for aircraft registered in Austria; for aircraft which are operated under a 83bis agreement the relevant requirements are outlined in the individual 83bis agreement.AMP / IHP Indirect Approval
If the continuing airworthiness is managed by an organisation which is approved according- Section A Subpart G of Annex I (Part-M) or
- Annex Vc (Part-CAMO) or
- Annex Vd (Teil-CAO) (only for IHP)
to Regulation (EU) 1321/2014 (CAMO / CAO) or- if a limited contract between the operator and such an organisation acc. M.A.201 (i) (3) is established (only for IHP)
the aircraft maintenance programme and its revisions can be approved through an indirect approval process. This procedure needs to be outlined tin the handbook (CAME / CAE) and needs to be approved by the authority.(Only applicable when both the aircraft and the CAMO / CAO are under supervision by the same EASA member state)Annual Review
The aircraft maintenance programme shall be subject to periodic reviews (at least annually) and amended accordingly when necessary. These reviews shall ensure that the programme continues to be valid in light of the operating experience and instructions from the competent authority whilst taking into account new and/or modified maintenance instructions promulgated by the type certificate and supplementary type certificate holders and any other organisation that publishes such data in accordance with Annex I (Part-21) to Regulation (EU) 748/2012.- IHP: the annual review shall be confirmed and enclosed to the aircraft records after completion
- AMP shall be reviewed according to the following (and if necessary adapted) list and enclosed in the CAME including the relevant procedures: Annual Review Checklist
Reliability Programme
For complex motor-powered aircraft, when the maintenance programme is based on maintenance steering group logic (MSG-3) or on condition monitoring, the aircraft maintenance programme shall include a reliability programme.- The purpose of a reliability programme is to ensure that the aircraft maintenance programme tasks are effective, and their periodicity is adequate.
- A reliability programme provides an appropriate means of monitoring the effectiveness of the maintenance programme.
Detailed procedures about the reliability programmes (normal and simplified) shall be included across the fleet into the CAME.A reliability compliance according to Appendix I to AMC M.A.302 and AMC M.B.301 (b) (Content of the maintenance programme), point 6 shall be demonstrated to Austro Control GmbH.Simplified Reliability Programme
For small fleets (< 6 LFZ aircraft of the same type) a simplified reliability-monitoring-programme - see also LTH 60A - may be applied and shall be included in the CAME cross-fleet.
