Experience and basic knowledge modules or part modules required for extending a Part-66 aircraft maintenance licence

A. Experience requirements

Table A below shows the experience requirements, in months, for adding a new category or subcategory to an existing Part-66 licence.

The experience requirements can be reduced by 50 % if the applicant has completed an approved Part-147 basic training course relevant to a particular subcategory.

B. Basic knowledge modules or part modules required

The purpose of this table is to outline the examinations required to add a new basic (sub)category 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 (sub)category, and an analysis of the module shall be conducted to determine the subjects missing or passed at a lower level.

Note: “All” means all the relevant elements of the modules identified in point “2. Modularisation” of Appendix I or in point “1. Modularisation” of Appendix VII for the target (sub)category (i.e. the (sub)category mentioned in the row “To”).

SQ = it depends on system qualification.

1: excluding the subjects related to piston engines and when “From: B1.2” or “From: B3” excluding also the subjects related to propeller.

2: excluding the subjects related to turbine engines and when “From: B1.1” excluding also the subjects related to propeller.

3: excluding the subjects related to electric engines and propeller.

4: submodule “11.10” only.

5: submodule “17.4” only.

6: submodule “16.12” only.

7: modules 12 and 18 cannot be chosen together.

8: only some applicable subjects of module 8L are required depending on the module [11 or 12] and [15, 16 or 18] chosen.

9: the (sub)module(s) identified in each cell shall be taught to the knowledge level identified in point “2. Modularisation” of Appendix I or in point “1. Modularisation” of Appendix VII corresponding to the target (sub)category (i.e. the (sub)category mentioned in the row “To”).

10: Use sub-row B1.x based on the B1 subcategory that provided access to the L5 licence (refer to point “1. Modularisation” of Appendix VII).

  • (ii) 2 730 kg or less for other than those in point (i).’;
  • ‘(f) in the case of aeroplanes, as applicable to the aircraft power plant:
  • (i) operational tests for power and revolutions per minute (rpm), magnetos, fuel and oil pressure, engine temperatures;
  • (ii) for engines equipped with automated engine control, the published run-up procedure;

  • ‘(a) In order to enable the competent authority to determine continued compliance with this Annex, the CAO shall notify the competent authority of any proposal to carry out any of the following changes, before such changes take place:
  • (1) changes affecting the information contained in the approval certificate laid down in Appendix I and the terms of approval of this Annex;
  • (2) changes of the persons referred to in points CAO.A.035(a) and (b);

  • (5) changes in the control procedure set out in point (b) of this point.’;
  • ‘(c) An engine rating (turbine, piston, electric or other) means that the CAO may carry out maintenance on the uninstalled engine and engine components, in accordance with engine maintenance data or, if agreed by the competent authority, in accordance with component maintenance data, only whilst such components are fitted to the engine. Nevertheless, such engine-rated CAO may temporarily remove a component for maintenance in order to improve access to that component except when such removal creates the need for additional maintenance not eligible for the requirements of point (c). An engine-rated CAO may also carry out maintenance on an installed engine during base and line maintenance subject to a control procedure in the CAE to be approved by the competent authority.’;
