The programs are developed jointly with the manufacturers of the equipment and, as mentioned above, must be approved by the FAA. Each involves a series of increasingly complex inspection and maintenance steps pegged to an aircraft's flying time, calendar time, or number of landings and takeoffs. With each step, maintenance personnel probe deeper and deeper into the aircraft, taking apart more and more components for closer and closer inspection. A typical program involves the following(and much more) :... a major check every three-and-a-half to five years in wich aircraft are essentially taken apart and put back together again, with landing gear and many other components replaced. 2, record 9, English, - major%20check
