EGBK giloc The CAA won a BIG concession from EASA when they renamed LAMs and called it LAMP. LAMP is a generic maintenance programme, and the French system on which part M is based uses Type Specific Programmes. These programmes are issued by aircraft manufacturers and are specific to mod state, engine type, equipment, ADs, etc. They use the ATA 100 numbering system and are intended to be used by owners as well as non licensed people. So they say EXACTLY what has to be done and when to do it, and require no interpretation. So any competent mechanic can achieve full and safe servicing of the specified aircraft. If you operate a French manufactured aeroplane the type specific maintenance programme for your aircraft will be on file with GSAC, and may well be available in English from the manufacturer.
This use of Type Specific rather than Generic is quite a cultural change for Brits.
