What type of maintenance does NAMP categorize?

NAMP categorizes maintenance into three primary levels: Organizational, Intermediate, and Depot level maintenance.

Organizational level maintenance refers to the day-to-day upkeep that is conducted by the crew or personnel in direct support of operations. This level focuses on easily manageable tasks and basic repairs to ensure that aircraft are mission-ready.

Intermediate level maintenance builds upon the foundational work done at the organizational level and includes more complex repairs and services that are not within the capabilities of the operating units. This maintenance is generally performed by dedicated maintenance activities that have greater resources and specialized personnel.

Depot level maintenance is the most comprehensive type of maintenance, involving major repairs and overhauls that require extensive technical expertise, facilities, and equipment. This level generally includes lengthy upgrades and significant refurbishments that are not feasible to conduct in the field or at intermediate maintenance facilities.

Together, these three levels of maintenance create a structured approach that ensures the operational capability and safety of naval aircraft, aligning with the broader goals of the Naval Aviation Maintenance Program.
