Appendix 3

(2) Even though the owner may delegate to the program manager performance of some or all of the tasks associated with carrying out owner’s responsibilities, the owner continues to be jointly and individually responsible, along with the program manager, for performance of these tasks and for compliance with applicable requirements.

(3) The owner may have liability risks in connection with the operation of the program aircraft, including possible liability risks for at least enforcement actions for any noncompliance, and liability if a flight-related occurrence causes personal injury or property damage.

Appendix 7 APPENDIX 7. MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS

1. GENERAL PROGRAM INFORMATION. Several types of inspection programs are available to Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 91 fractional managers operating under 14 CFR part 91 subpart K (part 91K). All part 91K inspection programs must be submitted to the local FSDO for approval. You must obtain this approval regardless of any previous approval of the program. Fractional ownership programs may use a Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP), in accordance with the requirements of part 91K.

For aircraft operating under part 91K, you are required to establish an aircraft inspection program under the provisions of part 91, § 91.1109. You will act on behalf of the fractional owners (collectively) for any authorizations or approvals concerning the program aircraft.

a. The program must be derived from one of the following:

(1) An inspection program currently recommended by the manufacturer.

(2) An inspection program that is part of a CAMP currently in use by a person holding an air carrier or operating certificate issued under 14 CFR part 119 and operating that make and model aircraft under 14 CFR part 121 or 135.

(3) An aircraft inspection program approved under part 135, § 135.419 and currently in use under part 135 by a person holding a certificate issued under part 119.

(4) An aircraft inspection program approved under 14 CFR part 125, § 125.247 and currently in use under part 125 of this chapter by a person holding a certificate under part 125.

(5) A CAMP approved for you by your principal maintenance inspector. If you elect to use another operator’s program, you must still submit it for approval, regardless of any other approvals.

NOTE: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may require revision of the inspection program approved under this section in accordance with the provisions of part 91, § 91.415.

b. The program must be in writing and be included in your manual. The details must include the following:

(1) Instructions and procedures for conducting inspections, including necessary tests and checks.

(2) Inspection intervals, expressed in terms of time in service, calendar time, number of system operations, or any combination of these.

(3) The parts and areas that must be inspected.

2. MAINTENANCE RECORDS. Each program manager must keep the records specified in part 91, § 91.417(a) for the periods specified in part 91, § 91.417(b). This system should be described in the manual required under part 91, § 91.1025. If you are using a CAMP, these Page 1

Appendix 7 records must be transferred to the purchaser at the time of sale and when the aircraft is removed from the list of program aircraft on your management specifications (MSpecs).

3. CAMPs. A CAMP combines the maintenance and inspection functions used to fulfill your total maintenance needs. The regulations specify that each program manager must have a maintenance program adequate to perform the work and a separate inspection program adequate to perform required inspections. For fractional ownership program managers, a CAMP must meet the requirements of part 135.

a. Definitions. (14 CFR part 1 and part 43.)

(1) Airworthiness. A condition in which the aircraft, airframe, engine, propeller, accessories, and appliances meet their type design and are in a condition for safe operation.

(2) Inspection. The routine performance of inspection tasks at prescribed intervals. The inspection must ensure the airworthiness of an aircraft up to and including its overhaul or lifelimits.

(3) Scheduled (Routine) Maintenance. The performance of maintenance tasks at prescribed intervals.

(4) Unscheduled (Non-Routine) Maintenance. The performance of maintenance tasks when mechanical irregularities occur. These irregularities are categorized as to whether they occur during flight time.

(5) Structural Inspection. A detailed inspection of the airframe structure that may require special inspection techniques to determine the continuous integrity of the airframe and its related parts.

b. Program Requirements. Basic requirements of a CAMP include the following:

• Inspection,

• Scheduled maintenance,

• Unscheduled maintenance,

• Overhaul and repair,

• Structural inspection,

• Required Inspection Items (RII),

• Reliability program (if appropriate), and

• Continuing Analysis and Surveillance System (CASS).

c. Manuals.

(1) Instructions and standards for unscheduled maintenance must be in your technical manuals. The manuals must contain procedures when using these manuals and recording scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. Each manual must include at least the following:

(a) The method of performing routine and non-routine maintenance (other than required inspections), preventive maintenance, or alterations.
