Fractional CAMP Election

FAR 91.1411 Fractional CAMP Election

FAR 91.1411 lets fractional ownership program managers maintain aircraft under a Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program per §§ 91.1413–91.1443.

In Plain English

FAR 91.1411 gives fractional ownership program managers the option to maintain their program aircraft under a Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP). A CAMP is a structured, ongoing maintenance system — similar to what airlines use — rather than the standard inspection cycles most Part 91 operators follow.

Key points to understand:

  • The rule is permissive, not mandatory. A program manager may elect to use a CAMP, but isn't required to.
  • If the manager does elect to use a CAMP, they must comply with all of §§ 91.1413 through 91.1443, which spell out the program's requirements (responsibility for airworthiness, manuals, inspection programs, recordkeeping, etc.).
  • It applies specifically to fractional ownership program aircraft operated under Subpart K.

Why it matters operationally: fractional aircraft often fly heavy utilization across many owners and crews, so a CAMP provides a centralized, accountable maintenance framework. As a pilot flying these aircraft, you should know whether your operator uses a CAMP, because it drives how inspections, deferrals, and airworthiness decisions are managed.
