What this publication covers

This publication identifies minimum standardized processes required for management of propulsion assets.

What changed in this edition

This document has been substantially revised and updated, and should be read in its entirety. Major changes encompass applicable information from rescinded AFI 20-115, and include identification and clarification of rol es, responsibilities, requirements and processes governing management of propulsion systems. This rewrite also addresses exemptions from propulsion management requirements, Condition Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+), Engine Health Indicator/Metrics, Engine Life Cycle Management Plans (ELMPs), and Maintenance Planning Working Group (MPWG) Charters

Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.
