Privileges of a Part-66 licence


I am the holder of a B1.2 licence (i.e “aeroplane piston”). Can I
exercise my privileges for piston-engine non-pressurised
aeroplanes1 of 2000 kg MTOM and below (i.e. category B3)?

Answer

By default, a category B3 licence is included in a category B1.2 licence because the


basic knowledge requirements (66.A.25(a)) and the basic experience requirement
(66.A.30) for a B3 licence are covered by the similar requirements of a B1.2 licence.

Provided that the qualification requirements are fulfilled, the B1.2 licence holder
can release maintenance tasks performed on piston-engine non-pressurised
aeroplanes of 2000 kg MTOM and below.

In particular the B1.2 licence holder would have to meet 66.A.20(b), which means
that:

the applicable requirements of Part-M, Part-ML, Part-145 and/or Part-CAO will be


complied; and
in the preceding two-year period he/she has 6 months of maintenance experience
in accordance with the privileges granted by the aircraft maintenance licence or;
met the provision for the issue of the appropriate privileges; and
he/she has the adequate competence to certify maintenance on the
corresponding aircraft; and
he/she is able to read, write and communicate to an understandable level in the
language(s) in which the technical documentation and procedures necessary to
support the issue of the certificate of release to service are written.
AMC 66.A.20(b)(2) and GM 66.A.20(b)2 gives further explanations on the 6-
months maintenance experience in the last 2 years, including demonstration of
experience on at least one aircraft type per aircraft structure (metal,
composite or wood).1

1 - “Aeroplane” does not include “helicopter”.

Can I have endorsed in my Part-66 licence aircraft types for


which the Basic Regulation is not applicable?

Answer

The competent authority of the Member State issuing the licence may include in the
Annex (Section XIV) of EASA Form 26 types for which the Basic Regulation is not
applicable. The privileges endorsed for these types are based only on the national
rules. The use of Section XIV of EASA Form 26 is optional.

EASA does not have any information about these types. If you want to get
information about them, please contact the competent authority.

Is there a requirement to have 6 months’ experience every 2


years to maintain the validity of the Part-66 licence?

Answer

No, the validity of the Part-66 licence is not affected byrecent experience. The requirement of 6 months’

experience within the preceding 2 years ensures that privileges are exercised by certifying staff with sufficient

recent experience.

If you do not meet the experience requirement anymore, you lose your rights to exercise your privileges of

certifying staff or support staff. The licence itself is valid 5 years from the last renewal. Only the certification

privileges are affected by the “recency” of experience.

To regain your experience, you may:

either continue to accumulate maintenance experience until you gain the missing
time required, or
meet the provisions for the issue of appropriate privileges, which means:
going to a type-training course again, including OJT as necessary, or
when the aircraft does not require an individual training (aircraft belonging in
Group 2, 3 or 4), pass a type-examination, including practical assessment (see
Page 3 of 3
GM 66.A.20(b)2).
Neither a short period of job training session nor an aircraft type refresher trainingare acceptable.

Demonstration of experience should be made on the particular or similar aircraft and the definition of a ‘similar’

aircraft is provided in the AMC to 66.A.20(b)2.

As a category A certifying staff at line, can my authority allow


me to carry out more tasks than those specified in AMC
145.A.30(g)?

Answer

The list of typical tasks to be carried out by a category A certifying staff at the line
shown in the AMC include a (r) stating: “Any other task agreed by the competent
authority as a simple task for a particular aircraft type. This may include defect
deferment when all the following conditions are met:

there is no need for troubleshooting; and


the task is in the MEL, and
the maintenance action required by the MEL is agreed by the competent
authority to be simple.
When these conditions are met, your authority may allow other tasks to be carried
out under AMC 145.A.30(g).
