Continuous airworthiness maintenance program use by fractional ownership program manager

This regulation gives fractional ownership program managers the option to maintain their aircraft under a Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP). This is a more structured, airline-style maintenance approach rather than the standard inspection programs used by most general aviation aircraft.

If a program manager chooses to use CAMP, they must follow all the detailed requirements spelled out in regulations 91.1413 through 91.1443. These cover everything from maintenance organization and recordkeeping to inspection programs and personnel requirements.

The key point is that CAMP is voluntary for fractional programs—managers can elect to use it but aren't required to. However, once they make that choice, full compliance with the entire CAMP regulatory framework becomes mandatory. This matters because CAMP involves significantly more administrative overhead but can provide more flexibility for complex flight operations and may better suit programs with multiple aircraft and frequent utilization.
