What is the purpose of the Equipment Validation Program?

The purpose of the Equipment Validation Program is to verify that the information in the On-Board Maintenance Management System (OMMS) accurately matches the actual equipment on board. This ensures that the data maintained within the system reflects the current status and characteristics of the equipment, which is critical for effective maintenance planning and management. By validating this information, the program helps to identify discrepancies that could lead to maintenance challenges, inaccurate reporting, or improper resource allocation. Ensuring accuracy in the OMMS is vital for supporting operational readiness and maintaining the integrity of maintenance operations.
