AMC 66.B.115 Procedure for the change of an aircraft maintenance licence to include an aircraft rating or to remove limitations    

CAA ORS9 Decision No. 1

(a) Where the type training has not been conducted by a Part-147 organisation, there should be supporting documents confirming to the CAA that:

— The type training has been approved by the CAA in accordance with 66.B.130,

— the applicant has completed the elements of the approved type training; and

— the trainee has been successfully examined/assessed.

(b) Aircraft type training may be subdivided in airframe and/or powerplant and/or avionics/electrical systems type training courses.

1. Airframe type training course means a type training course including all relevant aircraft structure and electrical and mechanical systems excluding the powerplant.

2. Powerplant type training course means a type training course on the bare engine, including the build-up to a quick engine change unit.

3. The interface of the engine/airframe systems should be addressed by either airframe or powerplant type training course. In some cases, such as for general aviation, it may be more appropriate to cover the interface during the airframe course due to the large variety of aircraft that can have the same engine type installed.

4. Avionics/electrical systems type training course means type training on avionics and electrical systems covered by but not necessarily limited to ATA Chapters 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 31, 33, 34, 42, 44, 45, 46, 73 and 77 or equivalent.

(c) For the acceptance of the OJT programme described in Section 6 of Appendix III to Part-66, the licensing CAA should develop adequate procedures which may be similar to the procedure described in AMC 66.B.130 for the ‘direct approval of aircraft type training’.

In the case where the licensing CAA is different from the CAA of the maintenance organisation which provides the OJT, the licensing authority may take into consideration the fact that the maintenance organisation may already have the OJT programme accepted by their own CAA (directly approved or through chapter 3.15 of the MOE, as described in AMC 145.A.70(a)).
