When AAIP or a GMM Applies

Requirements vary by aircraft type and operation. As a general guideline:

AAIP: Often applies when the manufacturer’s inspection program is insufficient or when required by your FSDO.
GMM: Required for aircraft with 10+ passenger seats or centralized maintenance programs.

We review your fleet and determine exactly which programs apply, ensuring FAA acceptance.
