Optimized Continuous Inspection Program (OCIP)

At the request of operators, Dassault Aviation has developed an Optimized Continuous Inspections Program, which is customized for each operator covering the A, or A and B inspections and multiples. These maintenance programs are an option available for operators who request it from the manufacturer. In order to satisfy a maximum number of operators, two cycles have been retained:

• High rate of use: >800 flying hours per year
• Low and medium rate of use: <800 flying hours per year
