"A GMM is another valuable resource business aviation flight departments should consider having to help reinforce procedures, best practices and to assure an adherence to consistent standards," said company CEO Mark Baier." It helps flight departments from everything to staying on top of changing and complex operations, to helping with employee onboarding."

The GMM covers:

• Roles and responsibilities

• Inspection programs
• MEL management
• Functional flight checks
• Airworthiness directives
• Tool calibration
• Inventory control

A GMM helps develop consistency among varying experience levels of maintenance professionals and provides procedures to help contract workers assimilate in an organization. Topics covered include inspection, maintenance and work turnover procedures; MEL management and deferral procedures; safety programs; aircraft marshaling and towing; procedures to use an outside MRO or repair center; personnel policies for maintenance personnel; duty time limits; and integration into existing Safety Management Systems.
