Aircraft scheduled maintenance requirements are rapidly extending and developing. Scheduled maintenance has to be effective, reliable and economically reasonable. In the field of general aviation and FAR 23/ EASA CS-23 especially, preventive maintenance based on part replacing or repairing is still dominant. DAMAGE TOLERANCE philosophy implementation into an aircraft design influences maintenance procedures, which are adjusted to older SAFE LIFE philosophy. Aircraft manufactures are developing new ways, how to integrate requirements of damage tolerance application into scheduled maintenance procedures. Huge airliners manufactures (FAR 25/ CS-25) are using the ATA MSG-3 intelligent maintenance approach based on inspection. This paper describes development of intelligent scheduled maintenance methodology, utilizing ATA MSG-3 procedures, expert knowledge and multiple criteria decision making.
