About this seminar
This seminar outlines the background of aircraft reliability
programmes as part of the operator’s maintenance programme
and will specifically emphasize on issues related to maintenance
cost analysis. Maintenance strategy and various concepts may
reduce cost, but careful use of these concepts needs to take place
in order to ensure high reliability levels. Oversight by the Aviation
Authorities to ensure continued compliance with the regulatory
requirements, while fulfilling the challenges of cost reductions
and effective maintenance programmes, is of paramount impor-
tance. Therefore it is essential that both the Aviation Authorities
and the Aviation Industry are on the same level of understanding.
This seminar will provide such an understanding.
Within a 5-day period you will be provided with guidance for the
implementation of Reliability Programmes and you will focus on
the monitoring task and the relevance of the efficiency of the
Maintenance Programme, in order to fulfill the regulatory require-
ments and to avoid unnecessary maintenance costs. Case studies
with practical examples will complement this seminar.

INTRODUCTION
The instructions for continuing airworthiness is to be
delivered by the aircraft manufacturer for the establishment
of an approved operator’s aircraft maintenance program and
must contain the necessary details, including frequencies,
of all maintenance required to be carried out for a safe and
economical aircraft operation. Implementation of such
aircraft maintenance programs requires the preparation
and planning of the maintenance tasks. These tasks are
normally based upon the Maintenance Review Board
Report and the Manufacturer’s Maintenance Planning
Recommendation as detailed in the Maintenance Planning
Document (MPD). Once established the Reliability Program
will be used to monitor the effectiveness of the planned
tasks from the approved operator’s aircraft maintenance
program. When further exploited the reliability program
may also support decisions in reducing maintenance
cost. All within the acceptable context of the regulatory
requirements.
