How frequently are audits conducted within the NAMP structure?

Audits within the Navy Naval Aviation Maintenance Program (NAMP) structure are conducted annually or as directed by command. This flexible approach allows commands to adapt the audit frequency based on their unique operational needs and readiness assessments. The annual requirement provides a systematic way to evaluate and ensure compliance with maintenance policies, procedures, and overall effectiveness of the maintenance program. The ability to conduct additional audits as directed by command gives commands the authority to initiate further scrutiny during times of significant changes or issues, ensuring that the maintenance standards are consistently upheld.
