What is aircraft component maintenance manual?

There are many manuals used for aircraft maintenance such as the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM), Illustrated Parts Catalogue (IPC), Structural Repair Manual (SRM) and the Component Maintenance Manual (CMM).

The AMM shows you how to remove, refit and test a component but to overhaul or repair the item, you will need the CMM as it describes how to strip, inspect and repair each item.
