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.
AMM is a manual which deals with removal & installation of an aircraft component or LRU's. It does not give any information of O/H. This type of maintenance generally performed in line maintenance. CMM is a manual which deals with O/H of an any aircraft component and generally IPC used to attached with it & this maintenance is also known as shop maintenance
The aircraft technical manual that outlines aerospace equipment maintenance, inspection, documentation policies, and procedures is typically referred to as the: Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) Definition: The AMM is a comprehensive document provided by the aircraft manufacturer that includes: Scheduled and unscheduled maintenance procedures Inspection intervals and documentation standards Fault diagnosis and troubleshooting Safety precautions and required tools Compliance with aviation regulatory bodies (e.g., FAA, EASA, DGCA) Related Manuals (used alongside AMM): Manual Type: CMM (Component Maintenance Manual) SRM (Structural Repair Manual) WDM (Wiring Diagram Manual) IPC (Illustrated Parts Catalogue) TSM (Troubleshooting Manual) IETM (Interactive Electronic Technical Manual) Purpose: Details repair/overhaul of specific parts or equipment Instructions for repairing the aircraft’s structure Electrical wiring layouts Parts lists, references, and assembly visuals Guides technicians through logical fault resolution Digital version of all manuals above, structured per military/aviation standards In Military & Aerospace (India / Defense Systems): The corresponding format is known as the IETM – Interactive Electronic Technical Manual, often guided by JSG 0852, MIL-STD-40051, and S1000D standards.
Component Maintenance Manual
The job of the AMT is to perform maintenance tasks on the aircraft. Such tasks include inspections, component replacements, or troubleshooting.
It depends on what component maintenance manual you are referring to? Any maintenance manual is a guide to maintaining something, probably giving step-by-step instructions. A typical example are the many maintenance guides produced for owners of specific cars - which give detailed DIY home maintenance instructions.
AMMD stands for "Aircraft Maintenance Manual Deficiency." It refers to a discrepancy or issue identified in an aircraft maintenance manual that needs to be addressed and corrected to ensure the aircraft's safety and airworthiness.
A Component Maintenance Manual (CMM) is the documentation created by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for an aircraft line replacement unit (LRU.) It typically includes a description of operation, specifications, testing requirements, special tools and fixtures, disassembly instructions, assembly instructions, and an exploded image of the component along with part numbers (illustrated parts list.) The FAA refers to CMMs as Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA.)
It contains all the necessary information for an aircraft engineer to trouble shoot,service,functionally and repair all the system in an aircraft.

Depending on the type of aircraft, the Maintenance Manuals can cost many hundreds of dollars.
It is a manual of the details of structure for a particular aircraft.
