3. Aircraft type training standard

Although aircraft type training includes both theoretical and practical elements, courses can be approved for the theoretical element, the practical element or for a combination of both.

An appropriate training method, or combination of training methods, shall be determined for the entire course or for each of its parts with regard to the scope and objectives of each training phase and taking into consideration the benefits and limitations of the available training methods.

Multimedia-based training (MBT) methods may be used in order to achieve the training objectives either in a physically or in a virtually controlled environment.

3.1.   Theoretical element

• (a) Objective: On completion of a theoretical training course the student shall be able to demonstrate, to the levels identified in the Appendix III syllabus, the detailed theoretical knowledge of the aircraft’s applicable systems, structure, operations, maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting in accordance with maintenance data. The student shall be able to demonstrate the use of manuals and approved procedures, including the knowledge of relevant inspections and limitations.

• (b) Level of training: Training levels are those levels defined in point 2 above. After the first type course for category C certifying staff all subsequent courses need only be to level 1. During a level 3 theoretical training, level 1 and 2 training material may be used to teach the full scope of the chapter if required. However, during the training the majority of the course material and training time shall be at the higher level.

• (c) Duration: The theoretical training minimum tuition hours are contained in the following table: Category Hours Aeroplanes [^E0015] with a maximum take-off mass above 30 000 kg: B1.1 150 B1.2 120 B2 100 C 30 Aeroplanes [^E0015] with a maximum take-off mass equal to or less than 30 000 kg and above 5 700 kg: B1.1 120 B1.2 100 B2 100 C 25 Aeroplanes [^E0015] with a maximum take-off mass of 5 700 kg and below [^E0016] B1.1 80 B1.2 60 B1.E 60 B2 60 C 15 Helicopters [^E0015] [^E0017] B1.3 120 B1.4 100 B2 100 C 25 Aeroplanes and helicopters not mentioned above and non-conventional aircraft B1, B2 and C OSD (¹) Aeroplane with piston or turbine engine or electric power plant or helicopter with piston or turbine engine. (2) For non-pressurised aeroplanes below 2 000 kg MTOM with piston-engine or electric power plant, the minimum duration can be reduced by 50 %. (^*3) For helicopters in Group 2 (as defined in point 66.A.5), the minimum duration can be reduced by 30 %. In the table above, ‘OSD’ means as defined in the operational suitability data established in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 748/2012, taking into consideration a report from the applicant for, or holder of, the aircraft type certificate that contains an assessment of the required theoretical elements of knowledge of the aircraft, considering the applicable licence (sub)category on which the aircraft type would be permitted for endorsement in accordance with point 66.A.3. For the purpose of the table above, a tuition hour means 60 minutes of teaching and excludes any breaks, examination, revision, preparation and aircraft visit. These hours apply only to theoretical courses for complete aircraft/ engine combinations according to the type rating as defined by the Agency.

• (d) Justification of course duration: Training courses carried out in a maintenance training organisation approved in accordance with Annex IV (Part-147) and courses directly approved by the competent authority shall justify their hour duration and the coverage of the full syllabus by a training needs analysis based on:
• — the design of the aircraft type, its maintenance needs and the types of operation,
• — detailed analysis of applicable chapters — see contents table in point 3.1(e) below,
• — detailed competency analysis showing that the objectives as stated in point 3.1(a) above are fully met. Where the training needs analysis shows that more hours are needed, course lengths shall be longer than the minimum specified in the table. Similarly, tuition hours of differences courses or other training course combinations (such as combined B1/B2 courses), and in cases of theoretical type training courses below the figures given in point 3.1(c) above, these shall be justified to the competent authority by the training needs analysis as described above. In addition, the course must describe and justify the following:
• — The minimum physical and/or virtual classroom attendance required of the trainee, in order to meet the objectives of the course.
• — The maximum number of hours of physical and/or virtual classroom training per day, taking into account pedagogical and human factors principles. If the minimum attendance required is not met, the certificate of recognition shall not be issued. Additional training may be provided by the training organisation in order to meet the minimum attendance time.

• (e) Content: As a minimum, the elements in the Syllabus below that are specific to the aircraft type shall be covered. Additional elements introduced due to type variations, technological changes, etc. shall also be included. The training syllabus shall be focused on mechanical and electrical aspects for B1 personnel, and electrical and avionic aspects for B2. If it exists, the minimum syllabus of the operational suitability data (OSD), established in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 748/2012, shall be included.

• 1. properly discuss with confidence the aircraft type and its systems;
• 1. ensure safe performance of maintenance, inspections, and routine work according to the maintenance manual and other relevant instructions and tasks as appropriate for the type of aircraft, for example, troubleshooting, repairs, adjustments, replacements, rigging and functional checks such as engine run, etc., if required;.
• 1. correctly use all technical literature and documentation for the aircraft;
• 1. correctly use specialist/special tooling and test equipment, perform removal and replacement of components and modules unique to type, including any on-wing maintenance activity.

- (d) The following conditions apply to the type evaluation:

• 1. The maximum number of attempts for each examination is three in a 12-month period. A waiting period of 30 days is required after the first failed attempt within one set, and a waiting period of 60 days is required after the second failed attempt. The applicant shall confirm in writing to the maintenance training organisation or the competent authority to which they apply for an examination, the number, and dates of attempts during the last 12-month period and the maintenance training organisation or the competent authority where these attempts took place. The maintenance training organisation or the competent authority is responsible for checking the number of attempts within the applicable time frames.
• 1. The type evaluation shall be passed, and the required practical experience shall be completed within the 3 years preceding the application for the rating endorsement on the aircraft maintenance licence.
• 1. Type evaluation shall be performed with at least one examiner present. The examiner(s) shall not have been involved in the applicant’s training.

• (e) A written and signed report shall be prepared and made available to the candidate by the examiner(s) to explain why the candidate has passed or failed.

6. On-the-job training (OJT)

• 6.1 General The OJT is the training that the applicant is given on a particular aircraft type in a real workplace, having the possibility to learn maintenance best practices and correct release-to-service procedures. The OJT shall comply with the following requirements:
• (a) The list of the OJT tasks and programme shall be accepted by the competent authority which has issued the maintenance licence before starting the OJT training.
• (b) The OJT shall be conducted at one or more maintenance organisations appropriately approved according to this Regulation for the maintenance of that aircraft type. One of those organisations shall control the OJT.
• (c) The applicant shall have a category A, B or L5 licence before undergoing the OJT or have finished the theoretical type training and cumulated at least 50 % of the basic experience requirement (point 66.A.30) as regards the category of aircraft he or she is trained for.
• (d) The applicant shall start and complete the OJT within 3 years preceding the application for the first type rating endorsement. At least 50 % of the OJT tasks shall take place after the related aircraft theoretical type training has been completed.
• (e) The applicant shall undergo the OJT under the mentorship of a qualified mentor or mentors, on a one-to-one supervision basis, during which the mentors verify the technical knowledge, the skills, and responsibilities of a typical certifying staff. During the OJT, the mentors transmit also knowledge and experience to the applicant, providing the necessary advice, support, and guidance.
• (f) Each task shall be signed off by the applicant and refer to an actual job card/work sheet, etc. The mentors shall verify and countersign off the tasks performed during the OJT, because they shall assume the responsibility for the tasks at support staff or certifying staff level, as applicable, depending on the release-to-service procedure.
• (g) At the satisfactory completion of the OJT programme, the mentors shall issue a recommendation for the final assessment of the applicant to be conducted by designated assessors.

• 6.2 OJT content and OJT logbook The OJT shall include a series of activities and tasks representative of the aircraft type rating, systems, and licence category applied for and may cover more than one licence category. The OJT shall be documented in an OJT logbook reporting the following:

• 1.An example of the aircraft maintenance licence referred to in Annex III (Part-66) can be found on the following pages.

• 2.The document shall be printed in the standardised form shown but may be reduced in size to allow it being generated by computer. When the size is reduced, care shall be taken to ensure that sufficient space is available in those places where official seals or stamps are required. Computer-generated documents need not have all the boxes incorporated when any such box remains blank, so long as the document can clearly be recognised as an aircraft maintenance licence issued in accordance with Annex III (Part-66).

• 3.The document may be filled in either in English or the official language of the Member State of the competent authority. In the latter case, a second copy in English shall be attached to the document for any licence holder who needs to use the licence outside that Member State to ensure understanding for the purpose of mutual recognition.

• 4.Each licence holder shall have a unique licence holder number, established on the basis of a national identifier and an alpha-numeric designator.

• 5.The document may have the pages in a different order to the one of this example and needs not have some or any divider lines as long as the information contained is positioned in such a manner that each page lay-out can clearly be identified with the format of the example of the aircraft maintenance licence contained herein.

• 6.The document shall be prepared by the competent authority. However, it may also be prepared by any maintenance organisation approved in accordance with Annex II (Part-145), where the competent authority agrees to this and the preparation takes place in accordance with a procedure laid down in the maintenance organisation exposition referred to in point 145.A.70 of Annex II (Part-145). In all cases, the competent authority shall issue the document.

• 7.The preparation of any change to an existing aircraft maintenance licence shall be carried out by the competent authority. However, it may also be prepared by any maintenance organisation approved in accordance with Annex II (Part- 145), where the competent authority agrees to this and the preparation takes place in accordance with a procedure laid down in the maintenance organisation exposition referred to in point 145.A.70 of Annex II (Part-145). In all cases, the competent authority shall change the document.

• 8.The holder of the aircraft maintenance licence shall keep it in good condition and shall ensure that no unauthorised entries are made. Failure to comply with this rule may invalidate the license or lead to the holder not being permitted to hold any certification privilege. It may also result in prosecution under national law.

• 9.The aircraft maintenance licence issued in accordance with Annex III (Part-66) shall be recognised in all Member States and it is not required to exchange the document when working in another Member State.

• 10.The Annex to EASA Form 26 is optional and may only be used to include national privileges, where such privileges are covered by national law outside the scope of Annex III (Part-66).

• 11.With regard to the aircraft type rating page of the aircraft maintenance licence, the competent authority may decide not to issue this page until the first aircraft type rating needs to be endorsed and may need to issue more than one aircraft type rating page depending on the number of type ratings to be listed.

• 12.Notwithstanding point 11, each page issued shall be in the format of this example and contain the specified information for that page.

• 13.The aircraft maintenance licence shall clearly indicate that the limitations are exclusions from the certification privileges. If there are no limitations applicable, the LIMITATIONS page shall state ‘No limitations’.

• 14.Where a pre-printer format is used for issuing the aircraft maintenance licence, any category, subcategory or type rating box which does not contain a rating entry shall be marked to show that the rating is not held.
