FORWORD
For the purpose of this regulation, the competent authority shall be the General Civil Aviation Authority
designated by the United Arab Emirates Federal Government, and known in this regulation as the “GCAA”.
The development of this regulation was through a GCAA led consultative committee the OTTG (Operators
Technical Training Group) that included representatives from all segments of the aviation industry covered
by, and impacted by this regulation.
Conformity with the Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) section of this regulation is mandatory unless
other Alternative Means of Compliance have been submitted that result in an equivalent level of safety (or
compliance) and approved to the GCAA.

1. GENERAL
Certifying staff holding licences issued in accordance with CAR 66 in a given category/subcategory are
deemed to have the privileges described in point 66.20(a) of this CAR corresponding to such a
category/subcategory. The basic knowledge requirements corresponding to the new privileges shall be
deemed as met for the purpose of extending such licence to a new category/sub-category.
Certifying staff holding a licence including aircraft which do not require an individual type rating may
continue to exercise his/her privileges until the first renewal or change, where the licence shall be converted
to the ratings defined in point 66.45 of this CAR.
For the purpose of time limits contained in points 66.25, 66.30 and Appendix III of CAR 66 related to basic
knowledge examinations, basic experience, theoretical type training and examinations, practical training
and assessment, type examinations and on the job experience completed before this Regulation applies,
the origin of time shall be the date by which this Regulation applies.
The E-Services system which has now been fully adopted by the GCAA for the issue, renewal and type
endorsement of an aircraft maintenance engineers licences as defined in point 66.10, and must be used for
all applications. Each field must be completed in full as required, with the required attachments including
passport copy. All licence applications for conversion as described in point 66.70 and section 4 appendix I,
must also be made using the E-Licensing system. For the removal of limitations as described in points 66.45
and 66.50 the E-Licensing system must also be used. The GCAA reserve the right not to renew or issue a
licence to any individual they deem unfit to maintain or hold a licence.

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.
GM 66.20(a) - Privileges
(a) The following definitions apply:
Electrical system means the aircraft electrical power supply source, and the distribution system to the
different components contained in the aircraft and relevant connectors. Lighting systems are also
included in this definition. When working on cables and connectors, which are part of these electrical
systems, the following typical practices are included in the privileges:
Avionics system means an aircraft system that transfers, processes, displays, stores analogue, or
digital data using data lines, data buses, coaxial cables, wireless or other data transmission medium,
and includes the system’s components and connectors. Examples of avionics systems include the
following:
— Autoflight;
— Information Systems;
NOTE: Instruments are formally included in the privileges of the B2 licence holders. However,
maintenance on electromechanical and pitot-static components may also be released by a B1, B3 or L
licence holder.
Simple test means a test described in approved maintenance data and meeting all the following
criteria:
— The serviceability of the system can be verified using aircraft controls, switches, Built-in Test
Equipment (BITE), Central Maintenance Computer (CMC) or external test equipment not
— The outcome of the test is a unique go–no go indication or parameter, which can be a single value
or a value within an interval tolerance. No interpretation of the test result or interdependence of
different values is allowed.
— The test does not involve more than 10 actions as described in the approved maintenance data
(not including those required to configure the aircraft prior to the test, i.e. jacking, flaps down,
etc, or to return the aircraft to its initial configuration). Pushing a control, switch or button, and
reading the corresponding outcome may be considered as a single step even if the maintenance
data shows them separated.
Troubleshooting means the procedures and actions necessary to identify the root cause of a defect or
malfunction using approved maintenance data. It may include the use of BITE or external test
equipment.
Line maintenance means any maintenance that is carried out before flight to ensure that the aircraft
is fit for the intended flight. It may include:
— Trouble shooting;
— Defect rectification;
— Scheduled maintenance and/or checks including visual inspections that will detect obvious
unsatisfactory conditions/discrepancies but do not require extensive in-depth inspection. It may
also include internal structure, systems and powerplant items which are visible through quick
opening access panels/doors;
— Minor repairs and modifications which do not require extensive disassembly and can be
accomplished by simple means;
— For temporary or occasional cases (Airworthiness Directives, hereinafter AD; service bulletins,
hereinafter SB) the quality manager may accept base maintenance tasks to be performed by a line
maintenance organisation provided all requirements are fulfilled. The GCAA will prescribe the
conditions under which these tasks may be performed.
Base Maintenance means any task falling outside the criteria that are given above for Line
Maintenance.
NOTE:
Aircraft maintained in accordance with “progressive” type programs need to be individually assessed
in relation to this paragraph. In principle, the decision to allow some “progressive” checks to be carried
out is determined by the assessment that all tasks within the particular check can be carried out safely
to the required standards at the designated line maintenance station.
(b) The category B3 licence does not include any A subcategory. Nevertheless, this does not prevent the
B3 licence holder from releasing maintenance tasks typical of the A1.2 subcategory for piston-engine
non-pressurised aeroplanes of 2 000 kg MTOM and below, within the limitations contained in the B3
licence.
(c) The category C licence permits certification of scheduled base maintenance by the issue of a single
certificate of release to service for the complete aircraft after the completion of all such maintenance.
The basis for this certification is that the maintenance has been carried out by competent mechanics
and category B1, B2, B3 and L support staff, as appropriate, have signed for the maintenance tasks
under their respective specialisation. The principal function of the category C certifying staff is to
ensure that all required maintenance has been called up and signed off by the category B1, B2, B3 and
L support staff, as appropriate, before issue of the certificate of release to service. Only category C
personnel who also hold category B1, B2, B3 or L qualifications may perform both roles in base
maintenance.
AMC 66.20(b)2 - Privileges
(a) The 6 months maintenance experience in 2 years should be understood as consisting of two elements,
duration and nature of the experience. The minimum to meet the requirements for these elements may
vary depending on the size and complexity of the aircraft and type of operation and maintenance.
Duration:
Within an approved maintenance organisation:
— 6 months split up into different blocks, employed within the same or in different organisations.
The 6 months period can be replaced by 100 days of maintenance experience in accordance with the
privileges, whether they have been performed within an approved organisation or as independent
certifying staff according to CAR M.801 (b) or as a combination thereof.
When the licence holder maintains and releases aircraft in accordance with CAR M.801 (b) 3, in certain
circumstances this number of days may even be reduced by 50% when agreed in advance by the
GCAA. These circumstances consider the cases where the holder of a CAR 66 licence happens to be
the owner of an aircraft and carries out maintenance on his own aircraft, or where a licence holder
maintains an aircraft operated for low utilisation, that does not allow the licence holder to accumulate
the required experience. This reduction should not be combined with the 20% reduction permitted
when carrying out technical support, or maintenance planning, continuing airworthiness
management or engineering activities. To avoid a too long period without experience, the working
days should be spread over the intended 6 months period.
— Servicing;
— Inspection;
— Trouble-shooting;
— Repairing;
— Modifying;
— Changing component;
For category A certifying staff, the experience should include exercising the privileges, by means of
performing tasks related to the authorisation on at least one aircraft type for each licence
subcategory. This means tasks as mentioned in AMC 145.30(g), including servicing, component
changes and simple defect rectifications.
For category B1, B2, B3 and L, for every aircraft type rating included in the authorisation the
experience should be on that particular aircraft or on a similar aircraft within the same licence (sub)
category. Two aircraft can be considered as similar when they have similar technology, construction
and comparable systems, which means equally equipped with the following (as applicable to the
licence category):
— In the case of a B1 licence endorsed with sub group ratings (either manufacturer sub group or sub
full group)as defined in CAR 66.45 the holder should show experience on at least one aircraft type
per sub group and per aircraft structure (metal, composite, wood).
— In the case of a B2 licence endorsed with sub group ratings (either manufacturer sub group or full
group) as defined in CAR 66.45 the holder should show experience on at least one aircraft type per
sub group.
— In the case of a B3 licence endorsed with the rating “piston-engine non-pressurised aeroplanes of
2 000 kg MTOM and below” as defined in 66.45, the holder should show experience on at least one
aircraft type per aircraft structure (metal, composite or wood).
For category C, the experience should cover at least one of the aircraft types endorsed on the licence.
For a combination of categories, the experience should include some activities of the nature shown in
paragraph 2 in each category.
A maximum of 20% of the experience duration required may be replaced by the following relevant
activities on an aircraft type of similar technology, construction and with comparable systems:
— Maintenance management/planning.
The experience should be documented in an individual log book or in any other recording system (which
may be an automated one) containing the following data:
— Date;
— Aircraft type;
— ATA chapter;
— Operation performed i.e. 100 FH check, MLG wheel change, engine oil check and complement, SB
embodiment, trouble shooting, structural repair, STC embodiment;
— Type of maintenance i.e. base, line;
— Subcategory used (A1, A2, A3, A4, B1.1, B1.2, B1.3, B1.4, B2, B3, C or L);
GM 66.20(b)2- Privileges
The sentence ‘met the provision for the issue of the appropriate privileges’ included in 66.20(b)2 means
that during the previous 2 years the person has met all the requirements for the endorsement of the
corresponding aircraft rating (for example, in the case of aircraft in Group 1, theoretical plus practical
element plus, if applicable, on-the-job training). This supersedes the need for 6 months of experience for
the first 2 years. However, the requirement of 6 months of experience in the preceding 2 years will need
to be met after the second year.
AMC 66.20(b)3- Privileges
The wording “has the adequate competence to certify maintenance on the corresponding aircraft” means
that the licence holder and, if applicable, the organisation where he/she is contracted/employed, should
ensure that he/she has acquired the appropriate knowledge, skills, attitude and experience to release the
aircraft being maintained. This is essential because some systems and technology present in the particular
aircraft being maintained may not have been covered by the training/examination/experience required to
obtain the licence and ratings.
— Type ratings that have been endorsed on a licence in accordance with Appendix I to AMC to CAR
66 “List of Type Ratings” after attending type training/on-the-job experience which did not cover
all the models/variants included in such rating. For example, a licence endorsed with the rating
— Type ratings, which have been endorsed on a licence in accordance with Appendix I to AMC to CAR
66 “List of Type Ratings” after a new variant has been added to the rating in Appendix I, without
performing difference training. For example, licence endorsed with the rating Boeing 737-
600/700/800/900 for a person who already had the rating Boeing 737-600/700/800, without
performing any difference training for the 737-900.
— Work being carried out on a model/variant for which the technical design and maintenance
techniques have significantly evolved from the original model used in the type training/on-the-job
experience.
— Specific technology and options selected by each customer, which may not have been covered by
the type training/on-the-job experience.
— Changes in the basic knowledge requirements of Appendix I to CAR 66 not requiring re-
examination of existing licence holders (grandfathered privileges).
— Persons meeting the requirements of 6 months of experience every 2 years only on certain similar
aircraft types as allowed by AMC 66.20(b)2.
— read and understand the instructions and technical manuals used for the performance of
maintenance;
— make written technical entries and any maintenance documentation entries, which can be
understood by those with whom they are normally required to communicate;
(b) In all cases, the level of understanding should be compatible with the level of certification privileges
exercised.
(c) The training courses and examinations shall have been passed within 10 years prior to the application
for an aircraft maintenance engineers licence or the addition of a category or subcategory to such
aircraft maintenance engineers licence. Should this not be the case, examination credits may however
be obtained in accordance with point (c).
(d) The applicant may apply to the GCAA for full or partial examination credit to the basic knowledge
requirements for.
basic knowledge examinations that do not meet the requirement described in point (b) above; and
Any other technical qualification considered by the GCAA to be equivalent to the knowledge
standard of CAR 66.
(e) Credits expire 10 years after they were granted to the applicant by the GCAA. The applicant may apply
for new credits after expiration.
(f) The GCAA may conduct an oral examination, assessment or interview with any applicant for a basic
licence.
(b) Knowledge gained and examinations passed during previous experiences, for example, in military
aviation and civilian apprenticeships will be credited where the GCAA is satisfied that such knowledge
and examinations are equivalent to that required by Appendix I to CAR 66.
(c) Approved training may be carried out at a different CAR 147 approved basic training organisation
provided the training organisation has a procedure approved by the GCAA for accepting such
applicants. A declaration shall be made by both the applicant and the training organisation before
making application to the GCAA. (CAR 66.10 refers).
for category A and subcategories B1.2 and B1.4 and category B3:
(i) 3 years of practical maintenance experience on operating aircraft, if the applicant has no
previous relevant technical training; or
(ii) 2 years of practical maintenance experience on operating aircraft and completion of training
considered relevant by the GCAA as a skilled worker, in a technical trade; or
(iii) 1 year of practical maintenance experience on operating aircraft and completion of a basic
training course approved in accordance with CAR 147.
(i) 5 years of practical maintenance experience on operating aircraft if the applicant has no
previous relevant technical training; or
(ii) 3 years of practical maintenance experience on operating aircraft and completion of training
considered relevant by the GCAA as a skilled worker, in a technical trade; or
(iii) 2 years of practical maintenance experience on operating aircraft and completion of a basic
training course approved in accordance with CAR 147
For category L
(i) 3 years of experience exercising category B1.1, B1.3 or B2 privileges on large aircraft or as
CAR 145 B1.1, B1.3 or B2 support staff, or, a combination of both; or
(ii) 5 years of experience exercising category B1.2 or B1.4 privileges on large aircraft or as CAR
145 B1.2 or B1.4 support staff, or a combination of both; or
for category C with respect to other than large aircraft: 3 years of experience exercising category
B1 or B2 privileges on other than large aircraft or as CAR 145 B1.1, B1.3 or B2 support staff, or, a
combination of both; or
for category C obtained through the academic route: an applicant holding an academic degree in a
technical discipline, from a university or other higher educational institution recognised by the
GCAA, three years of experience working in a civil aircraft maintenance environment on a
representative selection of tasks directly associated with aircraft maintenance including six months
of observation of base maintenance tasks.
(b) An applicant for an extension to an Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Licence shall have a minimum civil
aircraft maintenance experience requirement appropriate to the additional category or subcategory
of licence applied for as defined in Appendix IV to this CAR.
(c) The experience shall be practical and involve a representative cross section of maintenance tasks on
aircraft.
(d) At least one year of the required experience shall be recent maintenance experience on aircraft of the
category/subcategory for which the initial Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Licence is sought. For
subsequent category/subcategory additions to an existing Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Licence, the
additional recent maintenance experience required may be less than one year, but shall be at least
three months. The required experience shall be dependent upon the difference between the licence
category/subcategory held and applied for. Such additional experience must shall be typical of the new
licence category/subcategory sought.
(e) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), aircraft maintenance experience gained outside a civil aircraft
maintenance environment shall be accepted when such maintenance is equivalent to that required by
this CAR as established by the GCAA. Additional experience of civil aircraft maintenance shall, however,
be required to ensure adequate understanding of the civil aircraft maintenance environment.
(f) Experience shall have been acquired within the 10 years preceding the application for an Aircraft
Maintenance Engineers Licence or the addition of a category or subcategory to such a licence.
(g) The practical experience shall be conducted at and under the control of a maintenance organisation
appropriately approved for the maintenance and shall be assessed by a designated assessor
appropriately qualified.
(h) In order to facilitate the verification by the GCAA, demonstration of practical experience shall consist
of detailed worksheet/log book and compliance report completed by designated assessor
demonstrating how the practical experience meets this CAR.
(b) While an applicant to a CAR 66 category C licence may be qualified by having 3 years’ experience as
category B1 or B2 certifying staff only in line maintenance, it is however recommended that any
applicant to a category C holding a B1 or B2 licence demonstrate at least 12 months experience as a
B1 or B2 support staff.
(c) A skilled worker is a person who has successfully completed a course of training, acceptable to the
GCAA, involving the manufacture, repair, overhaul or inspection of mechanical, electrical or electronic
equipment. The training would include the use of tools and measuring devices.
— Means the experience of being involved in maintenance tasks on aircraft which are being operated
by airlines, air taxi organisations, aero clubs, owners, etc, as relevant to the licence
category/subcategory;
— Aims at gaining sufficient experience in the real environment of maintenance as opposed to only
the training school environment;
— May be gained within different types of maintenance organisations (CAR 145, M.A. Subpart F, Part-
145, FAR-145,) or under the supervision of independent certifying staff; however at least 50% of
the required experience period must be gained at GCAA approved organizations within UAE
territory or as otherwise agreed by the GCAA.
— May be combined with CAR 147 approved training (or other training approved by GCAA) so that
periods of training can be intermixed with periods of experience, similar to an apprenticeship.
— In the case of licence in the category L, may be full-time or part-time, either as professional or on a
voluntary basis.
— In the case of the L licence it is acceptable that the two year experience required covers
maintenance preformed only during the weekends (or equivalent periods) as long as the applicant
has achieved a sufficient level of competency related to the licence category as attested by the
corresponding statement(s) issued by the maintenance organisation(s) or independent certifying
staff who supervised the applicant.
(e) In the case of an applicant for a licence including several categories/subcategories, it is acceptable to
combine the periods of experience as long as there is a sufficient experience for each
category/subcategory during the required period. Examples:
— Application for a B1.1 (turbine aeroplanes) + B1.3 (turbine helicopters): CAR 66 requires
5 years of experience for B1.1 and 5 years of experience for B1.3 for an applicant with no
relevant previous technical training:
— It is not acceptable to combine the experience in a single 5-year period where the
applicant has been working for 3 years on turbine aeroplanes and 2 years on
turbine helicopters.
— However, it is acceptable to combine the experience in a single 5-year period if the
applicant has been working for 5 years on turbine aeroplanes and turbine
helicopters (for example, aeroplanes in the morning, helicopters in the afternoon,
or a few days every week on aeroplanes and a few days every week on helicopters).
— Application for a B1.1 (turbine aeroplanes) + B2 (avionics): The Regulation requires 5
years of experience for B1.1 and 5 years of experience for B2 for an applicant with no
relevant previous technical training.
— It is not acceptable to combine the experience in a single 5-year period where the
applicant has been working for 3 years on turbine aeroplanes (with no avionics
work) and 2 years on avionics systems.
— However, it is acceptable to combine the experience in a single 5-year period if the
applicant has been working for 5 years on structures, powerplant, mechanical and
electrical systems and avionics (for B1.1 tasks in the morning, B2 tasks in the
afternoon, or a few days every week for B1.1 tasks and a few days every week for
B2 tasks).
— Application for a B1.1, B1.2, B1.3, B1.4 and B2: The Regulation requires 5 years of
experience for B1.1, B1.3 and B2 and 3 years of experience for B1.2 and B1.4 for an
applicant with no relevant previous technical training.
— In this case, it is very unlikely that the experience for each category/subcategory
would be sufficient.
(b) Aircraft maintenance experience gained outside a civil aircraft maintenance environment can include
aircraft maintenance experience gained in armed forces, coast guards, police etc. or in aircraft
manufacturing.
(b) For a licence that has expired for more than 2 years following the expiry date on the licence the
holder will be required to
Complete a declaration stating that he/she has not exercised the privileges of the licence since the
expiry date, together with a supporting letter from the Quality Department and pass a GCAA
Aviation Legislation examination.
If the applicant does not currently work for a GCAA approved organisation the applicant will be
required to complete a declaration stating that he/she has not exercised the privileges of the
licence since the expiry and pass a GCAA Aviation Legislation examination.
(c) The holder of an Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Licence shall complete the relevant fields in the E-
Licensing system and submit it with the holder’s copy of the licence to the GCAA, unless the holder
works in a maintenance organisation approved in accordance with CAR 145 that has a procedure in its
exposition whereby such organisation may submit the necessary documentation on behalf of the
Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Licence holder.
(d) Any certification privileges based upon an Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Licence becomes invalid as
soon as the Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Licence is invalid.
— For category B1, B2 or C the relevant aircraft ratings are the following:
2. For group 2 aircraft, the appropriate aircraft type rating, manufacturer sub-group rating or full
sub-group rating.
3. For group 3 aircraft, the appropriate aircraft type rating or full group rating.
— For category B3, the relevant rating is ‘piston-engine non-pressurised aeroplanes of 2 000 kg MTOM
and below’.
— For category A, no rating is required, subject to compliance with the requirements of point 145.35
of CAR-145.
(b) The endorsement of aircraft type ratings requires the satisfactory completion of the relevant category
B1, B2 or C aircraft type training.
(c) In addition to the requirement of point (b), the endorsement of the first aircraft type rating within a
given category/sub-category requires satisfactory completion of the corresponding On the Job
Experience, as described in Appendix III to CAR 66.
(d) By derogation from points (b) and (c), for group 2 and 3 aircraft, aircraft type ratings may also be
granted after:
— satisfactory completion of the relevant category B1, B2 or C aircraft type examination described in
Appendix III to CAR 66, and
— in the case of B1 and B2 category, demonstration of practical experience on the aircraft type. In
that case, the practical experience shall include a representative cross section of maintenance
activities relevant to the licence category.
In the case of a category C rating for a person qualified by holding an academic degree as specified in point
66.30(a)(5), the first relevant aircraft type examination shall be at the category B1 or B2 level.
the endorsement of manufacturer sub-group ratings for category B1 and C licence holders requires
complying with the aircraft type rating requirements of at least two aircraft types from the same
manufacturer which combined are representative of the applicable manufacturer sub-group;
the endorsement of full sub-group ratings for category B1 and C licence holders requires complying
with the aircraft type rating requirements of at least three aircraft types from different
manufacturers which combined are representative of the applicable sub-group;
the endorsement of manufacturer sub-groups and full sub-group ratings for category B2 licence
holders requires demonstration of practical experience which shall include a representative cross
section of maintenance activities relevant to the licence category and to the applicable aircraft sub-
group.
the endorsement of the full group 3 rating for category B1, B2 and C licence holders requires
demonstration of practical experience, which shall include a representative cross section of
maintenance activities relevant to the licence category and to the group 3.for category B1, unless
the applicant provides evidence of appropriate experience, the group 3 rating shall be subject to
the following limitations, which shall be endorsed on the licence:
— pressurised aeroplanes
the endorsement of the rating "piston-engine non-pressurised aeroplanes of 2 000 kg MTOM and
below" requires demonstration of practical experience which shall include a representative cross-
section of maintenance activities relevant to the licence category.
unless the applicant provides evidence of appropriate experience, the rating referred to in point 1
shall be subject to the following limitations, which shall be endorsed on the licence:
In cases where there are very different aircraft types within the same manufacturer Subgroup, it may
be necessary to cover more than two aircraft types to ensure adequate representation.
For this purpose it may be possible to use aircraft types from the same manufacturer Classified in Group
1 as long as the selected aircraft belong to the same licence subcategory for which the rating will be
endorsed.For the granting of full subgroup ratings for Group 2 aircraft, for B1 and C licence holders, the
sentence “at least three aircraft types from different manufacturers which combined are representative
of the applicable subgroup” means that the selected aircraft types should cover all the technologies
relevant to the manufacturer subgroup in the following areas:
In cases where there are very different aircraft types within the same subgroup, it may be necessary to
cover more than three aircraft types to ensure adequate representation. For this purpose it may be
possible to use aircraft types from different manufacturers classified in Group 1 as long as the selected
aircraft belong to the same licence subcategory for which the rating will be endorsed.
(b) For manufacturer subgroup ratings, the term “manufacturer” means the TC holder defined in the
certification data sheet, which is reflected in the list of type ratings in Appendix I to AMC to CAR 66.
In the case of an aircraft rating where the type rating refers to a TC holder made of a combination of
two manufacturers which produce a similar aircraft (i.e. AGUSTA/BELL HELICOPTER TEXTRON or any
case of aircraft similarly built by another manufacturer), this combination should be considered as one
manufacturer.
As a consequence:
— When a licence holder gets a manufacturer type or a manufacturer subgroup rating made of a
combination of manufacturers, it covers the combination of such manufacturers.
— When a licence holder who intends to endorse a full subgroup rating selects three aircraft from
different manufacturers, this means from different combinations of manufacturers as
applicable.
(b) In the case of endorsement of individual type ratings for Group 2 and Group 3 aircraft, for the second
aircraft type of each manufacturer (sub)group the practical experience should be reduced to 30 % of
the tasks contained in Appendix II to AMC relevant to the licence category and to the applicable aircraft
type. For subsequent aircraft types of each manufacturer (sub)group this should be reduced to 20 %.
Practical experience should be demonstrated by the submission of records or a logbook showing the
Appendix II tasks performed by the applicant. Typical data to be recorded are similar to those described in
AMC 66.20(b)2.
When a person already holds a type rating on the licence and such type rating is amended in the Appendix
I to AMC to CAR 66 in order to include additional models/variants, there is no need for additional type
training for the purpose of amending the type rating in the licence. The rating should be amended to
include the new variants, upon request by the applicant, without additional requirements. However, it is
the responsibility of the licence holder and, if applicable, the maintenance organisation where he/she is
employed to comply with 66.20(b)3, 145.35(a) and M.607(a), as applicable, before he/she exercises
certification privileges.
Similarly, type training courses covering certain, but not all the models/variants included in a type rating,
are valid for the purpose of endorsing the full type rating.
— For each licence (sub)category, which ratings are possible (at the choice of the applicant):
— For the B1.2 licence (Group 3 aircraft) and for the B3 licence (piston-engine non-pressurised
aeroplanes of 2 000 kg MTOM and below), which are the possible limitations to be included in the
licence if not sufficient experience can be demonstrated in those areas.
Note: OJE means “On-the-Job Experience” (Appendix III to CAR 66, Section 6) and is only required for the
first aircraft rating in the licence (sub) category.

(b) For limitations referred to in point 66.45, limitations shall be removed upon:
(c) For limitations referred to in point 66.70 (c), limitations shall be removed upon satisfactory completion
of examination on those modules/subjects defined in appendix 1 to CAR 66.50(c) and compliance with
the relevant experience requirements.
(b) It may be acceptable to have this experience on just one aircraft type, provided that this type is
representative of the (sub) group in relation to the limitation being removed.
(c) The application for the limitation removal should be supported by a record of experience signed by the
authorised certifying staff or by an assessment signed by the manufacturer after completion of the
applicable theoretical and practical training.
(b) A person undergoing a certifying staff qualification process valid, prior to the date of entry into force
of this CAR may continue to be qualified. The holder of a certifying staff qualification gained following
such qualification process shall be issued an Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Licence without further
examination subject to the conditions specified in para (c).
(c) Where necessary, the Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Licence shall contain limitations in accordance
with point 66.50 to reflect the differences between:
the scope of the certifying staff qualification valid before the entry into force of this Regulation
and.
the basic knowledge requirements and the basic examination standards laid down in Appendix
Iand II to this CAR.
(d) By derogation to paragraph (c) for aircraft not involved in commercial air transport other than large
aircraft, the Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Licence shall contain limitations in accordance with point
66.50 to ensure that the certifying staff privileges valid before the entry into force of this Regulation
and the privileges of the converted CAR 66 Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Licence remain the same.
(b) The conversion applies to “certifying staff qualifications” such as, for example:
— Holding a national licence (or completed the process to obtain such a national licence);
— Having completed a qualification process defined by the GCAA to become certifying staff;
— Having completed the qualification requirements for certifying staff within a maintenance
organisation, as defined in their procedures.
This does not mean that in order to be entitled to a conversion process, the applicant has to be
exercising certification privileges. A person may hold a “certifying staff qualification” while not having
certification privileges (or while exercising very limited certification privileges below his/her
qualification) for different reasons such as, for example, the following:
— The person is working outside the aviation industry or is temporarily on leave due to different
reasons (medical, personal, etc.).
These persons are entitled to have the conversion performed in accordance with the full scope of their
qualification and the full privileges that they would be entitled to hold on the basis of such qualification.
(c) As described in point 66.70, certifying staff qualifications eligible for conversion are those valid prior
to the date of entry into force of CAR 66, which means those qualifications valid before:
Nevertheless, since the B3 licence did not exist at those dates, certifying staff qualifications eligible for
conversion to a B3 licence are those valid before 01 December 2013, which is the date when the GCAA
has the obligation to start issuing such licences.
(d) Although only those certifying staff qualifications gained prior to the dates indicated above are eligible
for conversion, this does not mean that the application for conversion has to be submitted prior to
those dates. The applicant is entitled to have the conversion performed irrespective of when he/she
applies for conversion.
(e) A certifying staff qualification can be subject to more than one conversion process and can also be
converted to more than one licence (with any applicable limitations). This could be the case, for
example, for a person who already had the certifying staff qualification converted to a B1.2 licence
with limitations linked to some missing elements of the CAR 66 Appendix I and II standard (following
66.70(c). This person would be entitled to apply and have his/her certifying staff qualification
converted to a B1.2 or a B3 licence on the basis of 66.70(d), which would mean that there is no need
to compare with the CAR 66 Appendix I and II standard, introducing only those limitations required to
maintain the existing privileges.

conversion to a GCAA category A licence following completion of a GCAA Aviation Legislation exam and
Human Factor exam as applicable. Further extension of GCAA category A licence issued under the provision
of this paragraph shall comply with GCAA CAR 66 knowledge and experience requirements.
Candidates applying for foreign licence conversion may be required to sit additional CAR 66 full/part
modular examination that are considered necessary by the GCAA to convert the foreign licence to an non-
restricted GCAA CAR 66 AMEL.
Requests for a licence conversion on the basis of a non UAE licence referred to in GM 66.70(d) with a large
number of limitations or with limitations that severely restricts the corresponding CAR 66 privileges will
not be accepted.
Upon successful completion of the applicable examinations referred to in GM 66.70(d) the candidate will
be required to apply for issue of a CAR 66 licence through the E-Services application. Ratings held by the
individual on their non UAE licence will be endorsed on the licence iaw AMC 66.45(a).
For a licence conversion from a non UAE licence, the exam retake restriction does not apply for
examination conducted by, or on behalf of the GCAA, a failed modular examination may be retaken at any
time, however only one re-sit attempt will be allowed, after this the applicant must attend a GCAA Aviation
Legislation and/or Human Factor course at a CAR 147 approved training organisation, after which, the
complete examination must be taken MCQ and essay. Certificates required for licence conversions referred
to above will be valid for a period of 12 months from the date of examination.
Applicants must hold a valid type rated Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licence from an ICAO contracting
state listed in GM 66.70(d), if the listed ICAO contracting state does not issue a type rated Aircraft
Maintenance Engineer Licence, a valid basic Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licence comparable and
equivalent to the appropriate CAR 66 AMEL B1, B2, B3 or L category
Applicant must have held privileges to issue Certificate of Release to Service (CRS) under a
maintenance/certification authorisation granted by a previous organisation under the oversight of the
foreign license issuing authority.
The non UAE licence must be verified by the issuing authority and addressed to the GCAA, and if applicable,
the maintenance/certification authorisation shall also be verified by the regulatory authority of the
company that issued the maintenance authorisation to verify/attest that the authorisation issued by the
company complies with ICAO Aircraft Maintenance Personal Licensing standards.
the above mentioned maintenance/certification authorisation verification is needed from applicants who
hold basic licences which are issued from the ICAO contracting state that does not issue type rated Aircraft
Maintenance Engineer Licences.
The applicant must furnish training course certificates related to the certification qualification.
(b) The pre-requisites and eligibility criteria for the issue of a temporary validation are detailed in GM
66.70 (d) and GM 66.70 (e).

examinations after three consecutive attempts, the candidate will be allowed one further attempt
following training on the failed module in full. If applicable both the essay paper and MCQ for the
same module must be completed if either have been failed. If this further attempt is failed, further
sets of three attempts will only be allowed following a 1 year waiting period. Organisations adopting
this policy must have this process approved in the MTOE.
1.15. The applicant shall confirm in writing to the approved maintenance training organisation or the GCAA
to which they apply for an examination, the number and dates of attempts during the last year and
the organisation where these attempts took place. The maintenance training organisation or the

(iii) A type rating shall only be endorsed on a licence after differences training when the applicant
also complies with one of the following conditions:
— having already endorsed on the licence the aircraft type rating from which the differences
are being identified or
— having completed the type training requirements for the aircraft from which the
differences are being identified.
The three levels listed below define the objectives, the depth of training and the level of knowledge
that the training is intended to achieve.
— Level 1: A brief overview of the airframe, systems and powerplant as outlined in the Systems
Description Section of the Aircraft Maintenance Manual/Instructions for Continued
Airworthiness.
Course objectives: Upon completion of Level 1 training, the student will be able to:
(a) provide a simple description of the whole subject, using common words and examples, using
typical terms and identify safety precautions related to the airframe, its systems and
powerplant;
(b) identify aircraft manuals, maintenance practices important to the airframe, its systems and
powerplant;
(e) identify special tooling and test equipment used with the aircraft.
— Level 2: Basic system overview of controls, indicators, principal components, including their

approved for the theoretical element, the practical element or for a combination of both.
(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 according to
approved maintenance data. The student shall be able to demonstrate the use of manuals and
approved procedures, including the knowledge of relevant inspections and limitations.
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:

3.2 Practical element
(a) Objective:
The objective of practical training is to gain the required competence in performing safe 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. It includes the awareness of the use of all technical literature
and documentation for the aircraft, the use of specialist/special tooling and test equipment for
performing removal and replacement of components and modules unique to type, including any on-wing
maintenance activity.
(b) Content:
At least 50 % of the crossed items in the table below, which are relevant to the particular aircraft
type, shall be completed as part of the practical training.
Tasks crossed represent subjects that are important for practical training purposes to ensure
that the operation, function, installation and safety significance of key maintenance tasks is
adequately addressed; particularly where these cannot be fully explained by theoretical training
alone. Although the list details the minimum practical training subjects, other items may be
added where applicable to the particular aircraft type.
Tasks to be completed shall be representative of the aircraft and systems both in complexity
and in the technical input required to complete that task. While relatively simple tasks may be
included, other more complex tasks shall also be incorporated and undertaken as appropriate
to the aircraft type.

— Knowledge of the maintenance on-board reporting systems and ETOPS maintenance conditions,
when applicable;
— Use of special tooling and test equipment and specific maintenance practices including critical
safety items and safety precautions;
— Significant and critical tasks/aspects from the MMEL, CDL, Fuel Tank Safety (FTS), airworthiness
limitation items (ALI) including Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCL), CMR and
all ICA documentation such as MRB, MPD, SRM, AMM, etc., when applicable.
The type training does not necessarily need to include all possible customer options corresponding to the
type rating described in the Appendix I to AMC to CAR 66.
4. Limited avionic system training should be included in the category B1 type training as the B1 privileges
include work on avionics systems requiring simple tests to prove their serviceability.
6. The theoretical and practical training should be complementary and may be:
— Integrated or split;
— Supported by the use of training aids, such as, trainers, virtual aircraft, aircraft components,
synthetic training devices (STD), computer-based training devices (CBT), etc.
Training Needs Analysis for the Theoretical Element of the Aircraft Type Training
1. The minimum duration for the theoretical element of the type rating training course, as described in
Appendix III to CAR 66, has been determined based on:
2. The purpose of the Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is to adapt and justify the duration of the course for
a specific aircraft type. This means that the TNA is the main driver for determining the duration of the
course, regardless of whether it is above or below the minimum duration described in Appendix III to
CAR 66.
In the particular case of type training courses approved on the basis of the requirements valid before
CAR 66 revision 01 was applicable (01 July 2013) and having a duration for the theoretical element
equal to or above the minimum duration contained in paragraph 3.1(c) of Appendix III to
CAR 66, it is acceptable that the TNA only covers the differences introduced by CAR 66 revision 01 in
paragraph 3.1(e) “Content” and the criteria introduced in paragraph 3.1(d) “Justification of course
duration” related to the minimum attendance and the maximum number of training hours per day. This
TNA may result in a change in the duration of the theoretical element.
3. The content and the duration deriving from the TNA may be supported by an analysis from the Type
Certificate holder.
4. In order to approve a reduction of such minimum duration, the evaluation done by the GCAA will be
performed on a case-by-case basis appropriate to the aircraft type. For example, while it would be
exceptional for a theoretical course for a large transport category aircraft such as an A330 or B757 to
be below the minimum duration shown, it would not necessarily be exceptional in the case of a General
Aviation (GA) business aircraft such as a Learjet 45 or similar. Typically, the TNA for a GA aircraft course
would demonstrate that a course of a shorter duration satisfies the requirements.
(a) The TNA should include an analysis identifying all the areas and elements where there is a need for
training as well as the associated learning objectives, considering the design philosophy of the aircraft
type, the operational environment, the type of operations and the operational experience. This analysis
should be written in a manner which provides a reasonable understanding of which areas and elements
constitute the course to meet the learning objectives.
(b) As a minimum, the Training Need Analysis (TNA) should take into account all the applicable elements
contained in paragraph 3.1 of CAR 66 Appendix III and associated AMCs.
(c) The TNA should set up the course content considering the Appendix III objectives for each level of
training and the prescribed topics in the theoretical element table contained in paragraph 3.1 of CAR
66 Appendix III.
(d) For each Chapter described in the theoretical element table contained in paragraph 3.1 of CAR 66
Appendix III, the corresponding training time should be recorded.
(e) Typical documents to be used to identify the areas and elements where there is a need for training
typically include, among others, the Aircraft Maintenance Manual, MRB report, CMRs, airworthiness
limitations, Troubleshooting Manual, Structural Repair Manual, Illustrated Parts Catalogue,
Airworthiness Directives and Service Bulletins.
• Activation/reactivation;
• Removal/installation;
CAR 66 - ISSUE 05 (CORRECTED) Page 131 of 309
AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE ENGINEER LICENSING
• Testing;
• Servicing;
• Inspection, check and repairs;
• Troubleshooting/diagnosis.
— For the purpose of identifying the specific elements constituting the training course, it is
acceptable to use a filtering method based on criteria such as:
— Identify the learning objectives for each task, group of tasks, system, subsystem or component;
— Associate the identified tasks to be trained to the regulatory requirements (table in paragraph
3.1 of Appendix III to CAR 66);
— Organise the training into modules in a logical sequence (adequate combination of chapters as
defined in Appendix III of CAR 66);
— Determine the sequence of learning (within a lesson and for the whole syllabus);
— Identify the scope of information and level of detail with regard to the minimum standard to
which the topics of the TNA should be taught according to the set-up objectives.
(a) Complexity of the system (e.g. the need of further breakdown into subsystems, etc.);
(b) Design specifics which may require more detailed presentation or may contribute to
maintenance errors;
(d) Troubleshooting;
(g) Identification of special tools and equipment required for servicing and maintaining the aircraft;
(h) Maintenance Practices;
• Describe the following:The instructional methods and equipment, teaching methods and
blending of the teaching methods to ensure the effectiveness of the training;
• The maintenance training documentation/material to be delivered to the student;
• Facilitated discussions, questioning session, additional practice-oriented training, etc.;
• The homework, if developed;
• The training provider’s resources available to the learner.
(h) It is acceptable to differentiate between issues which have to be led by an instructor and issues which
may be delivered through interactive simulation training devices and/or covered by web-based
elements. Overall time of the course will be allocated accordingly.
(i) The maximum number of training hours per day for the theoretical element of type training should
not be more than 6 hours. A training hour means 60 minutes of tuition excluding any breaks,
examination, revision, preparation and aircraft visit. In exceptional cases, the GCAA may allow
deviation from this standard when it is properly justified that the proposed number of hours follows
pedagogical and human factors principles. These principles are especially important in those cases
where:
— Training and normal maintenance duty/apprenticeship are performed at the same time.
(j) The minimum participation time for the trainee to meet the objectives of the course should not be
less than 90 % of the tuition hours of the theoretical training course. Additional training may be
provided by the training organisation in order to meet the minimum participation time. If the
minimum participation defined for the course is not met, a certificate of recognition should not be
issued.
(k) The TNA is a living process and should be reviewed/updated based on operation feedback,
maintenance occurrences, Airworthiness Directives, major service bulletins impacting maintenance
activities or requiring new competencies for mechanics, alert service bulletins, feedback from trainees
or customer satisfaction, evolution of the maintenance documentation such as MRBs, MPDs, MMs,
etc. The frequency at which the TNA should be reviewed/updated is left to the discretion of the
organisation conducting the course.
NOTE: The examination is not part of the TNA. However, it should be prepared in accordance with the
learning objectives described in the TNA.
2. The tasks should be selected because of their frequency, complexity, variety, safety, criticality, novelty,
etc. The selected tasks should cover all the chapters described in the table contained in paragraph 3.2
of Appendix III to CAR 66.
3. The duration of the practical training should ensure that the content of training required by paragraph
3.2 of Appendix III to CAR 66 is completed.
Nevertheless, for aeroplanes with a MTOM equal or above 30 000 kg, the duration for the practical
element of a type rating training course should not be less than two weeks unless a shorter duration
meeting the objectives of the training and taking into account pedagogical aspects (maximum duration
per day) is justified to the GCAA.
4. The organisation providing the practical element of the type training should provide trainees with a
schedule or plan indicating the list of tasks to be performed under instruction or supervision. A record
of the tasks completed should be entered into a logbook which should be designed such that each task
or group of tasks may be countersigned by the designated assessor. The logbook format and its use
should be clearly defined.
5. In paragraph 4.2 of Appendix III to CAR 66, the term “designated assessors appropriately qualified”
means that the assessors should demonstrate training and experience on the assessment process being
undertaken and be authorised to do so by the organisation.
Further guidance about the assessment and the designated assessors is provided in Appendix III to AMC
to CAR 66.
6. The practical element (for powerplant and avionic systems) of the Type Rating Training may be
subcontracted by the approved CAR 147 organisation under its quality system according to the
provisions of 147.145(d)3 and the corresponding Guidance Material.
Differences training
Approved difference training is not required for different variants within the same aircraft type rating (as
specified in Appendix I to AMC to CAR 66) for the purpose of type rating endorsement on the Aircraft
Maintenance Engineers Licence.
However, this does not necessarily mean that no training is required before a certifying staff authorisation
can be issued by the maintenance organisation (refer to AMC 66.20(b)3).
Section 5 of Appendix III: Aircraft Type Training and Examination Standard, On-the-Job-Experience
This Section 5 “Type Examination Standard” does not apply to the examination performed as part of type
training. This Section only applies to those cases where type examination is performed as a substitute for
type training.
On-the-job-Experience (OJE)
1. “A maintenance organisation appropriately approved for the maintenance of the particular aircraft
type” means a CAR 145 or M.A. Subpart F approved maintenance organisation holding an A rating for
such aircraft.
2. The OJE should include one-to-one supervision and should involve actual work task performance on
aircraft/components, covering line and/or base maintenance tasks.
4. The OJE should cover at least 50 % of the tasks contained in Appendix II to AMC to CAR 66. Some tasks
should be selected from each paragraph of the Appendix II list. Tasks should be selected among those
applicable to the type of aircraft and licence (sub) category applied for. Other tasks than those in the
Appendix II may be considered as a replacement when they are relevant. Typically, in addition to the
variety and the complexity, the OJE tasks should be selected because of their frequency, safety, novelty,
etc.
5. Up to 50 % of the required OJE may be undertaken before the aircraft theoretical type training starts,
provided this is carried out within 90 days before the theoretical training starts.
6. The organisation providing the On-the-job-Experience should provide trainees with a schedule or plan
indicating the list of tasks to be performed under supervision. A record of the tasks completed should
be entered into a logbook which should be designed such that each task or group of tasks is
countersigned by the corresponding supervisor. The logbook format and its use should be clearly
defined.
7. Regarding the day-to-day supervision of the OJE programme in the approved maintenance organisation
and the role of the supervisor(s), the following should be considered:
— It is sufficient that the completion of individual OJE tasks is confirmed by the direct supervisor(s),
without being necessary the direct evaluation of the assessor.
— During the day-to-day OJE performance, the supervision aims at overseeing the complete
process, including task completion, use of manuals and procedures, observance of safety
measures, warnings and recommendations and adequate behaviour in the maintenance
environment.
— The supervisor(s) should personally observe the work being performed to ensure the safe
completeness and should be readily available for consultation, if needed during the OJE
performance.
— The supervisor(s) should countersign the tasks and release the maintenance tasks as the trainee is
still not qualified to do so.
• have certifying staff or support staff privileges relevant to the OJE tasks;
• be competent for the selected tasks;
• be safety-orientated;
• be capable to coach (setting objectives, giving training, performing supervision, evaluating,
handling trainee’s reactions and cultural issues, managing objectively and positively
debriefing sessions, determining the need for extra training or reorientate the training,
reporting, etc.);
• be designated by the approved maintenance organisation to carry out the supervision.
— The function of the assessor, as described in Section 6 of Appendix III to CAR 66, is to conduct the
final assessment of the completed OJE. This assessment should include confirmation of the
completion of the required diversity and quantity of OJE and should be based on the supervisor(s)
reports and feedback.
— In Section 6 of Appendix III to CAR 66, the term “designated assessor appropriately qualified”
means that the assessor should demonstrate training and experience on the assessment process
being undertaken and should be authorised to do so by the organisation.
Further guidance about the assessment and the designated assessors is provided in Appendix III
to AMC to CAR 66.
9. The procedures for OJE should be included into the Exposition Manual of the approved
maintenance organisation.
During the performance of examinations and assessments, the assistance of the translator should be limited
to the translation of the questions, but should not provide clarifications or help in relation to those
questions.
APPENDIX IV : Experience Requirements for Extending a CAR 66 Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Licence
The table below shows the experience requirements for adding a new category or subcategory to an
existing CAR 66 licence.

Appendix VII : Basic examination standard for category L aircraft maintenance licence
(a) The standardisation basis for examinations related to Appendix VI basic knowledge
requirements shall be as follows:
(i) all examinations must be carried out using the multiple-choice question format as
specified in para (ii). The incorrect alternatives must seem equally plausible to anyone
ignorant of the subject. All of the alternatives should be clearly related to the question
and of similar vocabulary, grammatical construction and length. In numerical questions,
the incorrect answers should correspond to procedural errors such as corrections applied
in the wrong sense or incorrect unit conversions: they must not be mere random
numbers;
(ii) each multiple-choice question must have three alternative answers of which only one
must be the correct answer and the candidate must be allowed a time per module which
is based upon a nominal average of 75 seconds per question;
(iv) penalty marking (negative points for failed questions) is not to be used;
(v) the level of knowledge required in the questions must be proportionate to the level of
technology of the aircraft category.
APPENDIX I to AMC to CAR 66 : AIRCRAFT TYPE RATINGS FOR CAR 66 AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE
ENGINEERS LICENCE
The following aircraft type ratings are used to ensure a common standard.
The inclusion of an aircraft type in the list does not indicate that the aircraft type has been already granted
a type certificate.
— Some TC holders’ designations have been corrected to add the information: ’Aircraft with an SAS’. This
means that the aircraft listed under this TC holder designation is considered an ‘orphan aircraft’. An
aircraft becomes orphan when the legal person, organisation or entity holding the Type Certificate
(TC) ceases to exist; or The TC holder no longer complies with his regulatory obligations; or The TC
holder surrenders the TC.
— In Group 3, a third column has been added which is called ‘Type of structure’ which intends to assist
the GCAA Licensing Department in identifying the experience required for this type with a view of
removing existing limitations on the licence.
— Wooden structure covered with fabric is considered to fall under wooden structure. For Aeroplanes
with a combination of structures; e.g. metal tubing fuselage and wooden wings, both experience
‘metal tube covered with fabric’ and ‘wooden structure’ are required.
— Only the designations of ratings included in the column “CAR 66 Type rating endorsement” will
be used for endorsing individual type ratings on a CAR 66 licences.
— In Group 3, a fourth column has been added titled ‘MTOM’ which intends to assist the GCAA Licensing
Department in identifying the aeroplane types where the Maximum Take-off Mass (MTOM) is:
To demonstrate adequate competence on the relevant model(s)/variant(s), the AMEL holder and/or the
maintenance organisation where the AMEL holder is contracted/employed, are responsible to verify
whether the model/variant has been adequately covered by the TR course or gained experience.

APPENDIX III to AMC to CAR 66 : EVALUATION OF THE COMPETENCE ASSESSMENT AND ASSESSORS
This Appendix applies to the competence assessment performed by the designated assessors (and their
qualifications).
— Knowledge;
— Skills;
— Attitude.
Generally, knowledge is evaluated by examination. The purpose of this document is not to describe the
examination process: this material mainly addresses the evaluation of “skills” and “attitude” after training
containing practical elements. Nevertheless, the trainee needs to demonstrate sufficient knowledge to
perform the required tasks.
“Attitude” is indivisible from the “skill” as this greatly contributes to the safe performance of the tasks.
The evaluation of the competence should be based on the learning objectives of the training, in particular:
— the (observable) desired performance. This covers what the trainee is expected to be able to do and
how the trainee is expected to behave at the end of the training;
— the (measurable) performance standard that must be attained to confirm the trainee’s level of
competence in the form of tolerances, constraints, limits, performance rates or qualitative statements;
and
— the conditions under which the trainee will demonstrate competence. Conditions consist of the
training methods, the environmental, situational and regulatory factors.
The assessment should focus on the competencies relevant to the aircraft type and its maintenance
including, but not limited to:
— Environmental awareness (act safely, apply safety precautions and prevent dangerous situations);
— Knowledge and understanding of areas requiring special emphasis or novelty (areas peculiar to the
aircraft type, domains not covered by CAR 66 Appendix I, practical training elements that cannot be
imparted through simulation devices, etc.);
— Aircraft documentation finding and handling (identify the appropriate aircraft documentation,
navigate, execute and obey the prescribed maintenance procedures);
— Perform maintenance actions (demonstrate safe handling of aircraft, engines, components and tools);
— Aircraft final/close-up and report (apply close up, initiate appropriate actions/follow-up/ records of
testing, establish and sign maintenance records/logbooks).
2. How to assess
As far as feasible, the objectives of the assessment should be associated with the learning objectives and
the passing level; it means that observable criteria should be set to measure the performance and should
remain as objective as possible.
The general characteristics of effective assessment are: objective, flexible, acceptable, comprehensive,
constructive, organised and thoughtful. At the conclusion, the trainee should have no doubt about what
he/she did well, what he/she did poorly and how he/she can improve.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of questions that may be posed to assist the assessment:
• “Must know or execute” versus “Good to know or execute” versus “Don’t expect the candidate
to be an expert”.
— Minimum or maximum time to achieve? Use time effectively and efficiently.
— What if the trainee fails? How many times is the trainee allowed to fail?
— When and how should the trainee be prepared for the assessment?
— What proportion of judgment by the instructor out of collaboration with the trainee is needed during
the evaluation stage?
— Diagnostic (prior to a course), formative (reorientate the course on areas where there is a need to
reinforce) or summative (partial or final evaluation);
One method might be an initial assessment to be performed by the trainee himself/herself, then discussing
areas where the perceptions of the trainee’s performance by the assessors differ in order to:
A “box-ticking” exercise would be pointless. Experience has shown that assessment sheets have largely
evolved over time into assessment of groups of “skills” because in practice such things eventually detracted
from the training and assessment that it was intended to serve: evaluate at a point of time, encourage and
orientate the training needs, improve safety and ultimately qualify people for their duties.
In addition, many other aspects should be appropriately considered during the assessment process such as
stress and environmental conditions, difficulty of the test, history of evaluation (such as tangible
progresses or sudden and unexpected poor performance made by the trainee), amount of time
necessary to build competence, etc.
All these reasons place more emphasis on the assessor and highlight the function of the organisation’s
approval.
2. For those wanting to remove limitations and hold a non-restricted CAR 66 licence, it will be necessary
for the applicant to sit the appropriate examination, and where necessary, demonstrate appropriate
experience relevant to the knowledge required to remove the limitation. The process for removal of
limitations given below only refers to the specific limitation stated and does not address the removal
of a combination of limitations.
3. Licence holders must apply for the removal of all limitations from the basic category in a single
application.
4. The addition of another category (B1-2, B2 etc) to a CAR 66 licence will requires the applicant to remove
the limitations applied to their existing licence prior to the addition being granted. However, the
existing licence may be extended with an additional type rating without the need to lift the limitations.
Any new type added would have the same limitations added that apply to the basic licence categories.
5. Where a limitation is shown against the basic licence category, the limitation also applies to the type
rating.
