Creating an operator maintenance program

An operator maintenance program (OMP) record specifies the models and the related aircraft or equipment that the OMP applies to. OMP tasks represent master task cards that group-related tasks. Checks organize groups of OMP tasks that occur at the same interval into a hierarchy of related checks.

Procedure

  1. In the Operator Maintenance Program application, create an OMP record.
  2. In the OMP tab, in the Details section, specify values in the Operator and Authority fields.
  3. In the Models tab, add one or more models that the OMP applies to.
  4. In the Effectivity tab, review the aircraft or pieces of equipment that are associated to the models that you added, and modify the list if necessary.
  5. To add a master task card, in the OMP tab, in the Master Task Cards section, click New, and specify a master task card.
  6. Optional: Create a master task card that contains tasks that are imported from a maintenance planning document (MPD).
    1. Select the Create Master Task Cards from MTL action.
    2. In the MTL field, specify an MTL record.
    3. Select the task cards that you want to include the OMP task, and click OK.
    If an active job card exists that is associated with the MTL record, the job card is associated with the master task card.
  7. In the Checks tab, click New, and specify a check.
  8. To add master task cards to a selected check, in the Check Contents subtab, click one of the following options:
    Option Description
    New Select one or more OMP tasks from a list to add the associated master task cards.
    Select Master Task Card Use a combination of search terms to filter master task records and select one or more records to add them to the check content.
  9. Optional: In the Related Checks subtab, add higher and lower checks in the appropriate subtabs.
    You cannot add the same check to both tabs. A related check can be higher or lower, but not both.

What to do next

An aircraft operator can release a new MPD that changes the frequency of tasks in an OMP. You can create a bridging check to ensure that any due or overdue tasks are completed without delay.
