B. Basic knowledge modules or partial modules required

The purpose of this table is to outline the examinations required to add a new basic category/subcategory to an AML granted in accordance with this Annex.

The syllabi prepared in accordance with Appendix I and Appendix VII require different levels of knowledge for different licence categories within a module; therefore, there are additional examinations applicable to certain modules for licence holders wishing to extend an AML granted in accordance with this Annex to include another category/subcategory and an analysis of the module shall be conducted to determine the subjects missing or passed at a lower level.

Reliability: the information is reliable, current, and relatively free of errors. The information complies with the current regulatory requirements. ii. Relevance: the information is relevant to the learning objectives defined for the course. It supports the student in achieving the learning objectives. (b) Pedagogical quality The MBT emphasises the activities which promote the development of the required knowledge and skills. The main criteria for each product are related to three aspects: i. Pedagogical formulation/construction: it is characterised by the quality of simplification, the presence of summaries as well as the use of diagrams, figures, animations, and illustrations. It evaluates whether the structure of the learning resource promotes its use in a pedagogical context. This refers to the ease of orientation (summary, lesson plan), presence of appropriate interactions, usability (back, forward, scroll boxes, etc.), and communication resources (questions and answers, FAQs, forum, etc.) ii. Pedagogical strategies: teaching and learning styles should be based on active teaching approaches to build meaningful situations related to learning objectives and to learner motivation. iii. Student assessment methods: methods are implemented to measure the achievement of learning objectives. (c) Didactic quality i. Learning activities: the content refers to real-life situations the student could possibly face in an actual maintenance environment. ii.

ANNEX IV

In point ML.A.302 of Annex Vb (Part-ML) to Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014, point (c) is replaced by the following:

‘(c) The AMP:

(1) shall clearly identify the owner of the aircraft and the aircraft to which it relates, including any installed engine and propeller, as applicable;

(2) shall include, alternatively:

(a) the tasks or inspections contained in the applicable minimum inspection programme (MIP) referred to in point (d);

(b) the instructions for continuing airworthiness (ICA) issued by the design approval holder (DAH);

(c) the ICA issued by the declarant of a declaration of design compliance;

(3) may include additional maintenance actions to those referred to in point (c)(2) or maintenance actions alternative to those referred to in point (c)(2)(b) at the proposal of the owner, CAMO or CAO, once approved or declared in accordance with point (b). Alternative maintenance actions to those referred to in point (c)(2)(b) shall not be less restrictive than those set out in the applicable MIP;

(4) shall include all the mandatory continuing airworthiness information, such as repetitive ADs, the airworthiness limitation section (‘ALS’) of the ICAs, and specific maintenance requirements contained in the type certificate data sheet (‘TCDS’);

(5) shall identify any additional maintenance tasks to be performed because of the specific aircraft type, aircraft configuration and type and specificity of operation, whereas the following elements shall be taken into consideration as a minimum:

(a) specific installed equipment and modifications of the aircraft;

(b) repairs carried out in the aircraft;

(c) life-limited components and flight-safety-critical components;

(d) maintenance recommendations, such as time between overhaul (‘TBO’) intervals, issued through service bulletins, service letters, and other non-mandatory service information;

(e) applicable operational directives or requirements related to the periodic inspection of certain equipment;

(f) special operational approvals;

(g) use of the aircraft and operational environment;

(6) shall identify whether the Pilot-owners are authorised to perform maintenance;

(7) when declared by the owner, shall contain a signed statement by which the owner declares that this is the AMP for the particular aircraft registration and that he is fully responsible for its content and, in particular, for any deviations from the DAH’s recommendations;

(8) when approved by the CAMO or CAO, shall be signed by this organisation, which shall retain records with the justification for any deviation introduced to the DAH’s recommendations;

(9) shall be reviewed at least annually in order to assess its effectiveness, and this review shall be performed, alternatively:

(a) in conjunction with the airworthiness review of the aircraft by the person who performs such an airworthiness review;

(b) by the CAMO or CAO managing the continuing airworthiness of the aircraft in those cases where the review of the AMP is not performed in conjunction with an airworthiness review.

If the review shows deficiencies of the aircraft linked with deficiencies in the content of the AMP, the AMP shall be amended accordingly. In this case the person performing the review shall inform the competent authority of the Member State of registry if he does not agree with the measures amending the AMP taken by the owner, CAMO or CAO. The competent authority shall decide which amendments to the AMP are necessary, raising the corresponding findings and, if necessary, reacting in accordance with point ML.B.304.’.
