Mechanics, human errors are the leading cause of aviation mishaps. To prevent this, maintenance leaders and commanders should ensure they’re implementing a not-so-old concept called the Aviation Maintenance Training Program (AMTP). AMTP involves the entire chain of command training Soldiers on maintenance skills and knowledge that have:
- measurable competencies,
- standardized task requirements and procedures,
- standardized training records.
