The content and format of the monthly mainte- nance summary should be based on what maintenance managers need to know. These requirements should include some form of each of the following areas: Repair of systems and components that are high man-hour consumers Components and systems that have high failure rates Average man-hours per flight hour, per flight, or per departure Efficiency of the maintenance effort The following additional areas, at the discretion of preparing activities, may be included in the monthly maintenance summary: Cannibalized components Malfunctions of components causing aborts (flight cancellations) Man-hours that were expended on components without malfunctions Shop repair capability Average turnaround time per component Activity mission capability These are only a few of the many areas that might be part of your activity’s monthly maintenance summary. The MO may prescribe additional requirements depending on what he or she needs to know. MONTHLY MAINTENANCE PLANS The monthly maintenance plan (MMP) provides for scheduled control of the predictable maintenance workload. This predictable maintenance workload includes inspections, transfer and receipt of aircraft, and incorporation of technical directives. By scheduling the predictable maintenance, maintenance managers can determine the capability for unscheduled work. Additionally, maintenance managers can determine. requirements for SE, material, manpower, and other factors that affect the maintenance operation in advance of actual need. The MMCO prepares the monthly maintenance plan; however, the format and detailed arrangement of the MMP are the prerogative of the MO. Organizational Maintenance Level MMP The MMCO should ensure that a monthly planning meeting is held each month to put the finishing touches on the MMP. Two meetings should be held. The first meeting is held within the maintenance department. All maintenance supervisors attend this meeting. The purpose of the first meeting is to present the proposed plan and to discuss problems, support, and other factors that are involved in the overall maintenance effort. The second meeting is held with the supporting IMA to discuss the quality and types of support that are required as well as the schedule of components due for check and test. The organizational-level MMP should contain, as a minimum, the following general requirements: Projected known operational commitments, which includes number of flights, flight hours, and aircraft use (This information may be obtained from the operations department.) Dates of scheduled inspections Schedule of preinspection meetings Dates of scheduled receipt or transfer of aircraft and type of work to be accomplished on these aircraft Precision Measuring Equipment (PME) calibration requirements Schedule of technical training Forced removal items (high time and so forth) Technical directive compliance requirements Current list of quality assurance (QA) personnel, quality assurance representatives (QARs), collateral duty quality assurance representatives (CDQARs), collateral duty inspectors (CDIs) List of personnel who are scheduled for ejection seat safety checkout Dates of scheduled SE inspections Scheduled nondestructive inspection (NDI) requirements Schedule of currently assigned plane captains A list of QA-audited programs and program managers 5-28
