Maintenance planning often used interchangeably with production planning, then, is the planning of that work with the stated goals in mind. Maintenance planning is one of the important processes of continuing airworthiness management and in fact the heart of continuing airworthiness. Continuing airworthiness has been defined as all of the processes ensuring that, at any time in its operating life, the aircraft complies with the airworthiness requirements in force and is in a condition for safe operation” Maintenance planning is responsible ...
