TYPES OF MAINTENANCE
Unscheduled (or corrective):
Maintenance performed to restore
an item to a satisfactory condition
by providing correction of a known
or suspected malfunction and/or
defect.
Unscheduled maintenance action is
performed if there is a pilot report
or a complaint from the scheduled
maintenance.
Scheduled:
Maintenance performed at defined
intervals to retain an item in a
serviceable condition (availability,
safety and reliability to their inherent
levels)
Scheduled maintenance action is
performed according to the
Maintenance Program requirements
Servicing:
Any act of replenishment for the
purpose of maintaining the inherent
design operating capabilities of an
item.
