support required. This includes a discussion about the
contents of the organizational MMP. Squadron
representatives discuss ail factors that affect the
anticipated AIMD/IMA workload. This meeting is a
tool used to plan the monthly maintenance schedule.
The maintenance schedule is part of the MMP. The
AIMD monthly maintenance plan is distributed by the

MAINTENANCE TRAINING
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (MTIP)
LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Define the purpose
of the Maintenance Training Improvement
Program (MTIP) in aircraft maintenance.
The Maintenance Training Improvement Program
(MTIP) is an unclassified training management system
which, through diagnostic testing procedures,
identifies training deficiencies at both the O- and
I-levels of maintenance. Through individual
evaluation of technical knowledge levels, a qualitative
assessment is made of existing training courses,
materials, and community level skills. Such
assessments point out corrective actions needed to
enhance technical knowledge levels and to improve
existing training courses.
The Director of Air Warfare (N88) establishes
policy and exercises overall control of the MTIP
Program; however, the AMO or IMA maintenance
officer ensures the MTIP program is conducted per
ACC/TYCOM directives.
Q61. What is the purpose of the Maintenance Training
Improvement Program (MTIP)?
SUMMARY
This chapter discussed a variety of areas to include
NAMP objectives, familiarization of O- and I-level
maintenance, their structures, responsibilities, and
rating applications, as well as a brief overview of the
NALCOMIS program, VIDS/MAFs, SE records and
forms, how they are used in the maintenance
departments, and a brief description of MTIP. This
volume of information is more than any one individual
could memorize or be solely responsible for; therefore,
you should refer to the applicable references when you
need more information. Make sure you are informed
of any changes affecting you or your work center.
