SUMMARY: This notice announces the issuance and availability of 
Advisory

[[Page 16340]]

Circular (AC) 120-16D, ``Air Carrier Maintenance Programs''. AC 120-16D 
is written in plain language format and represents a major revision and 
update of the earlier version. The AC identifies and describes in 
detail the functions of the nine elements of the air carrier 
maintenance programs described in 14 CFR part 119, part 121, and part 
135. It explains the background as well as the Federal Aviation 
Administration's (FAA) regulatory requirements for these programs. As 
with all advisory Circulars, the material is not a regulation, nor does 
it establish minimum standards. However, where terms such as ``must,'' 
``shall,'' and ``will'' are used in AC 120-16D, such use reflects 
actual regulatory requirements.

DATES: Advisory Circular 120-16D, Air Carrier Maintenance Programs was 
issued by the Office of the Director, Flight Standards Service, AFS-1 
on March 18, 2003.
