MPD Presentation: Focus on Threshold & Interval
Commonly used threshold/interval units:

Usage Parameters intervals

DaYs, MOnths, YEars, Flight Hours, Flight Cycles, Equipment Operating Units

Letter intervals (1A, 2A, 4A, 1C, 2C, 4C, 8C)

A = X FH

C = Y MO

e.g. In A330 MPD

X,Y varies from one MPD to another.

A = 800 FH & C = 24 MO / 10000 FH

Starting point for calculation of the due dates or times of maintenance tasks:

First Flight (FF) of the aircraft (Flight Cycles, Flight Hours intervals)

Date of Transfer of Title (ToT) of the aircraft to the customer (Calendar intervals)
when (ToT-FF)<=3 Months

Date of manufacture of the equipment when ageing of the equipment is not linked to the
airframe

Interval rules:
Thresholds or intervals with multiple units:
First to expire must be considered (when otherwise not stated)

Maintenance Program Customization

MPD Customization Work Scope

Why MPD customization is needed ?

MPD is an envelope document and therefore contains scheduled
maintenance tasks for the overall aircraft type. Design standards generally
differs from one aircraft to the other, thus, an operator fleet is not
concerned by all tasks.

What are the information needed to customize MPD ?

Aircraft type

- Weight variant

Engine type

- APU type

Mod Status

- SB status

Cabin Layout

- Emergency equipment list

How to select MPD tasks ?

Select tasks according to Applicability column using the above listed
documents

MPD Customization Work Scope

Some SSIs have different fatigue inspection requirements for the various Weight
Variants (WV) of an aircraft type.

The Weight Variant represents the delivery standard of each aircraft.

MPD Customization Work Scope

To minimize the number of individual inspection requirements, the Weight

Variant requirements have been Grouped where they are similar.

MPD Customization Work Scope

For A318/A319/A320/A321:

A/C subject to a WV change through a service bulletin embodiment which

implies a Group change:

the maintenance requirements that apply are those with the lowest
threshold and interval figures applicable to this A/C during service life
regardless of the current WV of that subject aircraft.
