This book provides the first comprehensive comparison of the Aircraft Maintenance Program (AMP) requirements of the two most widely known aviation regulators: the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It offers an in-depth examination of the elements of an AMP, explaining the aircraft accident investigations and events that have originated and modelled the current rules.

By introducing the Triangle of Airworthiness model (Reliability, Quality and Safety), the book enables easier understanding of the processes by which an aircraft and its components are deemed to be in a safe condition for operation from a cost-effective and optimization perspective. The book compares the best practices used by top airlines and compiles a series of tools and techniques to improve the standards of the AMP.

Aircraft maintenance engineers, students in the field of aerospace engineering, and airlines staff, as well as researchers more widely interested in safety, quality, and reliability will benefit from reading this book

David Lapesa Barrera is an Aeronautical Engineer specialized in Continuing Airworthiness management, and more specifically, in Aircraft Maintenance Programs. He has worked for several top airlines managing the AMP of diverse aircraft types, including the program of the Airbus A220 aircraft, the former Bombardier C Series, for the first operator, and the largest Airbus A380 fleet worldwide. It is noteworthy that he received an award from the middle east largest airline in recognition of support on the A380 C Check Optimization Project for being delivered accurately with minimum disruption and leading to maximum yield in terms of financial and hangar utilization savings. David has ISO 9001 Lead Auditor training and has been also recognized for its good practices and interest in quality and safety, being member of the International Society of Air Safety Investigators (ISASI).
