This AC provides one means,
but not the only means, of ensuring that the contemplated maintenance, alteration, or
continue-in-service condition is in compliance with applicable regulations and existing
policy. This AC is not mandatory and is not a regulation. The contents of this document
do not have the force and effect of law and are not meant to bind the public in any way,
and the document is intended only to provide information to the public regarding existing
requirements under the law or agency policies. The AC recommends acceptable methods
by which:
1. Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 43, § 43.13(c) allows
commercial operators, operating under 14 CFR part 121; part 129, § 129.14(b)(3);
and part 135, § 135.411(a)(2),1 to meet the requirements of § 43.13(a) and (b) by
applying the maintenance methods, techniques, and practices of their maintenance
manual or the maintenance portions of the manual. This AC describes that means of
compliance.
1 For the purposes of this AC, part 121 operators, part 135 operators operating under § 135.411(a)(2), and § 129.14
operators holding operations specifications (OpSpecs) which require a continuing airworthiness maintenance and
inspection program are referred to collectively as “operators.”
2. These operators may continue to use articles in-service or perform maintenance and
alterations in a different manner than incorporating the manufacturer’s maintenance
information. Other methods, techniques, and practices may be incorporated into the
operator’s manual so long as the methods, techniques, and practices are an acceptable
standard to the Administrator, as required by § 43.13(c). An operator may not
produce or incorporate in their manual a method, technique, or practice that is not
based on accepted standards (refer to § 43.13).

This advisory circular (AC) provides Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-acceptable
information to use in the development of the required maintenance training program element of a
Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP).
The AC contains methods that operators of aircraft under Title 14 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) parts 121, 135, and 91 subpart K (part 91K) (fractional ownership
operations) that maintain their aircraft under a CAMP may use to comply with the maintenance
training requirements of the regulations. Operators may elect to follow an alternate method,
provided it is acceptable to the FAA. Because the means of compliance we present in this AC is
not mandatory, the term “should” applies only if you choose to follow these particular methods.
Operators must tailor their maintenance training program to their specific operation, personnel,
management structure, and organizational needs. The contents of this document do not have the
force and effect of law and are not meant to bind the public in any way, and the document is
intended only to provide information to the public regarding existing requirements under the law
or agency policies.
