Dear Readers,

EASA Part-66 Workshop in Cologne 16.03.2010

Basic knowledge and experience for getting the AML:

• All basic knowledge (new 66.A.25) must be gained within the 10 years prior to the application for a licence.
• Special mechanism to extend the 10 years validity of the modules and the examination credits provided that no evolution of the basic knowledge occurs during the last 10 years.

Basic knowledge and basic experience (before getting an AML):

• All basic experience (new 66.A.30) must be gained within the 10 years prior to the application for a licence.
• Examination after a failed module shall not be retaken in the next 90days following the date of the failed module examination
• Maximum: 3 consecutive attempts

Type Rating Training:

• Theoretical (+ examination) + practical training (+ assessment) must have been started and finished within 3 years prior to application for licence endorsement.

Type examination (when no training is required):

• Examination + practical experience must be completed within 3 years prior to application for licence endorsement.
• Maximum: 3 consecutive attempts.

Category B3 is only applicable to:

• Piston-engine non-pressurized aeroplanes of 2000 Kg MTOM and below.
• No rotorcraft in B3 licence
• B1.2 includes B3
• B1.2 and B3 do not cover sailplanes, balloons and airships.
• Sailplanes /balloons-airships are covered by L-licence

Category L licence is applicable to:

• Aeroplanes less than 1000 Kg MTOM, sailplanes and powered sailplanes Balloons
• Hot-air airships
• A manned gas airship meeting a criteria reflecting simplicity in its design
• No rotorcraft in the L-licence
• There are two sub groups: Limited-L (generally does not include power plant) and Full-L licences (generally includes power plant)

• The terms “electrical system”, “avionic system” and “simple test” were defined to clarify the privileges of the B1 AML.
• For B1 and B2 it has been indicated that the privileges also include acting as “support staff”. For B1 "Replacement of LRUs" has been changed to a more general "work on avionic systems" (always within the "simple test" provision). Category B1 privileges do not include avionic troubleshooting. Category B2 privileges also include certification of electrical and avionic parts within powerplant and mechanical systems, requiring simple tests to prove their serviceability. Due to the fact that the B2 licence does not include the privilege of an A license, it can be task trained within the Part-145 organisation but cannot be transferred to another Part-145 organisation.
  
• Length of Basic Training for the category B2 licence is maintained in 2400 hours due to the increase of privileges.
  
• Clarification of category A privileges and inclusion of new typical task for helicopter.
  
• Clarification of an “aircraft type” and a “complex aircraft” in terms of maintenance.
  
• Redefinition of aircraft groups in Appendix I to AMC to Part-66:
  • GROUP 1: All complex motor-powered aircraft and those non complex motor-powered aircraft requiring an individual type rating.
  • GROUP 2: Aircraft other than Group 1, in following sub-groups:
    • Sub-group 2a: single turbo-propeller aeroplanes.
    • Sub-group 2b: single turbine helicopters.
    • Sub-group 2c: single piston helicopters.
  • GROUP 3: Piston engine aeroplanes (other than Group 1)
    
• The Type Training was redefined and renewed with more definitions as e.g.
  • Course length (depending on aircraft weight)
  • Course attendance (90%)
  • Examination pass mark (75%)
  • The OJT will only be mandatory and additional in the case of the first TRT in an AML (sub) category in addition to the practical training.
