Equivalent Terms: MMM, MOE, MPM, QPM, QM, MCM, IPM Maintenance Management Manual (MMM)
A generic document that defines how an Operator and its Engineering and Maintenance Organisation and/or a separate Approved Maintenance Organisation accomplishes and controls its aircraft maintenance activities. The MMM may comprise one manual or a ‘suite’ of manuals. This document contains the procedures by which Engineering and Maintenance is managed, and also sets out a description of each location where maintenance is carried out, including the type of maintenance, those that can perform the maintenance and certification requirements, the Approved Data for accomplishing aircraft maintenance, and a description of the Maintenance Organisation and its Senior Staff. The purpose of the MMM is to give all Engineering and Maintenance personnel the necessary information to enable them to accomplish their duties and to allow the Authority to substantiate how the Operator and its AMO complies with the applicable Airworthiness Requirements.
If the MMM is produced as a ‘suite’ of manuals, then the ‘Lead Document’ should have a brief statement in the introduction stating that the ‘MMM’ comprises several manuals whose collective content constitute the MMM.
The MMM may have specific ‘sections’ extracted to form a ‘customised’ manual for distribution to maintenance contractors, line stations and others as needed.
