Why choose a customized LUMP program?
Tailored solutions
Our engineering team conducts a detailed task-by-task interval optimization analysis, considering your unique utilization parameters, maintenance data, and OEM design certification data.
Customized calendar-based program
The result is a LUMP program designed explicitly for your low-utilization operations and fleet type.
Benefits of switching to a LUMP program
Alignment with latest ISC/MRB revisions
The Customized Maintenance Program Document (CMPD), Task Cards (TC), and Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) are tailored to the specific serial number(s) of the operator’s aircraft.
Comprehensive manual set
One complete set of manuals is provided to cover the operators LUMP fleet (CMPD, Task Card, AMM, FIM, PPBU).
Accessible documentation
All document deliverables can be easily accessed on myboeingfleet.com.
Increased aircraft availability
Enjoy more time in the air and less time in maintenance.
Reduced downtime
Streamlined maintenance processes lead to quicker turnaround times.
Maintained reliability and safety
Ensure your aircraft meets all safety and reliability standards.
Calendar-based maintenance
Significant cost savings through optimized maintenance intervals and task packaging while maintaining safety and reliability.
Regulatory compliance
The CMPD LUMP fulfills the regulatory guidance for a Manufactures Recommended Program (MRP).

Frequently asked questions
When is a LUMP required for my operation?
With regulatory concurrence, Boeing recommends that operators consider a low-utilization maintenance program if they operate with utilization below 1200 Flight Hours (FH) per year or 100 FH per month. Utilization below this threshold makes the baseline fleet-wide MPD intervals ineffective for maintaining the aircraft.
What if my annual utilization is above 1200 FH/YR but still below the average fleet utilization?
Boeing offers an Intermediate Low Utilization Maintenance Program (I-LUMP) tailored to your specific utilization and check packaging goals. The deliverables for the I-LUMP are the same as those for a CMPD LUMP, with intervals designed to accommodate your unique utilization and check goals.
What is the FAA guidance related to LUMP development?
Operators deviating substantially below normal utilization (less than 1,200 flight hours per year per airplane) should consider implementing a "Low Utilization" maintenance program based on calendar time.
FAA AC 121-22C section 10. MAINTENANCE REVIEW BOARD REPORT (MRBR)/MAINTENANCE TYPE BOARD REPORT (MTBR) LOW-UTILIZATION MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
- MSG Logic. When the aircraft has been analyzed using MSG logic, it is not necessary to revisit the analysis before applying the proper low-utilization parameter for a task.
- Operations Outside the PPH. The OEM/TCH is responsible for developing a set of recommendations for operations outside the PPH utilization parameters. This should be a stand-alone program, and not a supplement to the MRBR/MTBR.
14 CFR 91.409 – Inspection; (f)(3): “A current inspection program recommended by the manufacturer”
14 CFR 125.247 - Inspection programs and maintenance; (e)(3): “An inspection program developed by a certificate holder under this part”
What are some of the engineering factors used by Boeing when developing a LUMP?
- Operator’s utilization and operating environment
- MSG-3 philosophy (Category's 5 & 8 safety items)
- Historical corrosion findings (Level 2 or 3)
- Task degradation parameters (Example: lubes)
- Unique airplane configurations
- Current and future check packaging goals
- MRO capacity and labor constraints
- Local regulatory requirements
- Operator custom maintenance tasks
- Non-Boeing STC Mods/Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICAS)
- Vendor maintenance tasks
What baseline MPD task intervals cannot be changed for a CMPD LUMP?
- Airworthiness Directives (AD)
- Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR)
- Airworthiness Limitations (AWL)
- Special Compliance Items (SCI)
- Fatigue program tasks (FAT)
- Additional tasks required by interior modification (Non-Boeing ICA from STC holders), vendor items, additional operator-specific items, and local regulatory requirements
What is the process for developing a CMPD LUMP?
- Operator requests a price quote for a LUMP.
- Boeing requests fleet data from the operator (aircraft serial numbers, current FH/FC, check goals, contact information, desired services) to determine LUMP need.
- Boeing develops a price quote and sends it to the operator.
- The operator indicates a desire to move forward.
- The contract is sent to the operator.
- LUMP development starts upon contract approval and payment received.
- Project status meetings between the operator and Boeing are scheduled during LUMP development.
- LUMP documents are available on MyBoeingFleet upon project completion.
How long does it take to develop a LUMP program for an operator?
The process can take up to four months from the time a contract is signed, payment received, operator maintenance data is accepted by Boeing engineering before the CMPD LUMP offering is available on MyBoeingFleet.
