The main cultural difference brought in by part M is type specific maintenance programs. These are specific to the aircraft type and its mod state. They say what has to be done and when to do it, no interpretation needed. Any competent mechanic (or owner) can achieve full maintenance, and it is easy for the work to be checked. It looked as if LAMS would be ditched, but the CAA managed to keep it by re-branding it as LAMP and getting it into part M as an alternative to the type specific programs. So once again providing scope for "creative maintenance" in some UK organisations.
