What is Preventive Maintenance?
Maintenance at general aviation airports is frequently broken into four types:
1. Operational 2. Reactive 3. Preventive 4. Predictive

General Observations - Airports• Lack of guidance• “When it breaks, we fix it”• Routine maintenance vs. PM• “No crack is left behind”• Corporate knowledge• Limited staffs• Climatic considerations• Infrastructure anecdotes• Tenant relationships
![Page 22: Preventative Maintenance at General Aviation Airports](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021409/6209baef7da863198d0e1673/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
General Observations – Airports continued
• Use of contracts• Wildlife impacts• Original construction/purchase• Changing the maintenance culture• Funding challenges• Percent of budget• Regular inspections• Front door to community
![Page 23: Preventative Maintenance at General Aviation Airports](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021409/6209baef7da863198d0e1673/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
General Observations – State Aviation Agencies
• Lack of guidance• Statewide pavement management• Grant programs - various• State-owned equipment• Statewide contracts• State inspections• State grant assurances• Use of other state agencies• State leadership is critical

PrinciplesAirport Preventive Maintenance
Program• Understand the value of the airport and its
infrastructure• Focus on safety, system longevity, economics, legal
agreements• Integrate PM with airport objectives, mission, and
plans• Establish maintenance standards for each facility• Dedicate resources• Involve maintenance staff in decision-making• Meet legal/regulatory compliance requirements
![Page 37: Preventative Maintenance at General Aviation Airports](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021409/6209baef7da863198d0e1673/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
•Airport owners and policy makers –approve and appropriate resources
•Airport managers – manage and staff appropriately
•Airport staff – carry out the program
•State/FAA – provide funding and establish standards

Airports with little or no preventive maintenance program can develop
and improve their program in six steps
![Page 39: Preventative Maintenance at General Aviation Airports](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021409/6209baef7da863198d0e1673/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Basic Steps Airport Preventive Maintenance
Program
1. Understand and embrace important guiding principles
2. Establish a baseline for the airport’s infrastructure and condition
3. Identify PM needed for each infrastructure and develop schedule
4. Prioritize maintenance 5. Obtain resources needed for a program; obtain
policymaker support6. Implement the program (can be phased)
