Frequently Asked Questions

EASA Part-66 defines the requirements for aircraft maintenance licensing—it specifies license categories (A, B1, B2, C), knowledge requirements, experience requirements, and certification privileges. Part-147 defines the approval requirements for maintenance training organisations—it specifies how organisations must be structured, approved, and operated to deliver Part-66 training courses and examinations. In simple terms: Part-66 tells you what qualifications maintenance personnel need, while Part-147 tells you how training organisations must operate to provide that training. This course covers both regulations comprehensively.

To obtain an EASA Part-66 license: (1) Complete basic training covering required knowledge modules at a Part-147 approved organisation, (2) Pass all required module examinations, (3) Gain required practical experience (varies by category: Cat A requires 1-3 years, Cat B1/B2 requires 2-5 years depending on education level), (4) Complete type training and on-the-job training (OJT) for specific aircraft, (5) Apply to your national aviation authority (NAA) for license issuance. The license is then maintained through continued validity requirements. This course explains the complete licensing process.

EASA Part-66 license categories are: (1) Category A - Line maintenance certifying staff authorized for minor scheduled maintenance and simple defect rectification under supervision; (2) Category B1 - Mechanical certifying staff for aircraft mechanical and electrical systems; (3) Category B2 - Avionics certifying staff for aircraft avionic and electrical systems; (4) Category B3 - Non-pressurized piston-engine aircraft below 2,000kg; (5) Category C - Base maintenance certifying staff for complete aircraft. Each category has subcategories for different aircraft types (turbine, piston, small aircraft, large aircraft, etc.). This course covers all categories in detail.

An EASA Part-66 license itself has no expiration date—once issued, it remains valid indefinitely. However, the aircraft type ratings and authorizations on the license must be kept valid through continued maintenance experience or approved refresher training. Specifically, to maintain type rating validity, the holder must have exercised certification privileges on that aircraft type for at least 2 months in any consecutive 2-year period, or complete approved refresher training. If not maintained, ratings become dormant but can be reactivated. This course explains all maintenance of validity requirements.

EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) regulations apply to all 27 EU member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland through the European Economic Area (EEA) agreement. As of 2024, this includes Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, plus the four EEA-EFTA states. The UK (post-Brexit) has its own UK CAA regulations largely based on EASA rules. This course focuses on EASA regulations applicable across these member states.

EU Regulation 1321/2014 is the comprehensive regulation on the continuing airworthiness of aircraft and aeronautical products, parts, and appliances. It consolidates multiple continuing airworthiness requirements into one regulation and includes: Part-M (continuing airworthiness management), Part-145 (maintenance organisation approvals), Part-66 (aircraft maintenance licensing), Part-147 (maintenance training organisations), and Part-CAMO (continuing airworthiness management organisations). This regulation replaced the former JAR system and is the foundation of EASA's continuing airworthiness framework. This course provides comprehensive coverage of its Part-66 and Part-147 annexes.

A Part-147 approved training organisation is an organisation approved by EASA or a member state competent authority to conduct aircraft maintenance training courses leading to Part-66 license examinations. These organisations must meet strict requirements for facilities, equipment, instructors, examiners, training programmes, quality systems, and documentation. They provide basic knowledge training, type training, and examinations for prospective aircraft maintenance license holders. Part-147 organisations are essential to the European aircraft maintenance licensing system. This course covers all Part-147 approval and operational requirements in detail.

Category B1 (Mechanical) license holders are authorized to certify maintenance on aircraft structures, powerplants, mechanical systems, and electrical systems on the aircraft they are rated for. Category B2 (Avionics) license holders are authorized to certify maintenance on avionic and electrical systems only. The key differences: B1 covers airframes, engines, and mechanical/electrical systems with deeper mechanical knowledge; B2 covers avionics, instruments, communications, and electrical systems with deeper electronics and digital systems knowledge. Both require different training modules and examinations. Some tasks require both B1 and B2 certification. This course explains the privileges, limitations, and training requirements for each category.
