MAINTENANCE PLANNING DOCUMENT (MPD):


- Tasks identified in the MRB Report are broken down into a comprehensive Maintenance Planning Document.
- The MPD references each task and provides details on:
Zone, Accesses, Description, Job Procedure, Manpower required, Man-hours required, Efficiency, Interval. - The program defined in MRB/MPD
documents is based on an average daily utilization of 5.5FH for 8.2FL (2,000 FH/YE and 3,000 FL/YE). In the event that operation appreciably
differs from these figures, the program should be adapted to account for A/C utilization.

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS:
BACKGROUND:
Following a series of accident involving large commercial aircraft, the influences on Fuel Tank Safety have been widely discussed in recent years,
to establish means by which fuel tank explosions can be prevented in future. The FAA and EASA issued special requirements for maintenance and
inspection, focused on prevention against fuel tank explosion risk-adjacent systems and on Fuel Tank Airworthiness Limitations.
CDCCL:
An important concept of the new regulation is the introduction of Critical Design Control Configuration Limitation (CDCCL).
As applied to fuel tank safety policy, this term covers all items of the fuel tank and adjacent systems that are considered as critical ignition source
prevention features. All precautions shall be taken to prevent unsafe conditions to develop from configuration changes caused by maintenance

action, repair or alteration of these critical items.
All CDCCLs are included in the time limit section of the MRB and are highlighted into AMM task cards and CMMs to provide the list of critical parts
that should not be repaired out of the scope.
CAUTION:
All along the ATA 28 (FUEL) covered in this course, the trainee will have to pay a particular attention to the safety precautions.

The engine Maintenance On-Condition are:
- No scheduled Hot Section Inspection (HSI) / Overhaul (OVH). (2 HSI for 1 OVH recommended by P&WC).
- Engine removal for refurbishment driven by on wing task and ECTM.
- Proven to be the most cost effective way of maintaining engines.
