In commercial airline parlance what is the official defenintion of “Line Maintenance” and “Base Maintenance”. I was reading through JAR 145 (Joint Aviation Requirement) regulation. It mentions “Line Maintenance” and “Base Maintenance” without defining as to what constitutes “Line Maintenance” or “Base Maintenance”

The reason why i asked about the difference is becuz JAR 145 makes a clear distinction between line maitenance and base maintenance. for instance an organisation certified only to carry out base maintenance is not allowed to carry out line maintenance unless they are separatly certified to do so.

Thanks Mathew
So the difference between “Line Maintenance” and “Base Maintenance” is the location at which the maintenace work is done, not the level of work carried out?
If the work is done away from base, no matter how major, is it always regarded as “Line Maintenance”?
