text: GM1 66.A.5 Aircraft groups

text: The following table summarises the applicability of categories/subcategories of Part-66 licences versus the groups/subgroups of aircraft:

text: GM1 66.A.20(a) Privileges

text: 1. The following definitions apply: Electrical system means the aircraft electrical power supply source (other than the main power plant in aircraft with an electric power plant), plus 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: — Continuity, insulation and bonding techniques and testing; — Crimping and testing of crimped joints; — Connector pin removal and insertion; — Wiring protection techniques. Electric power plant means all elements of a power plant system which are used to store, transform/convert, control and transmit electrical energy to the aircraft elements that provide thrust and/or lift to the aircraft, such as electrical batteries, fuel cell elements (including tanks, lines and other circuit elements for consumables), solar panels, electric engines, cables and connectors, mechanical attachments to the aircraft structure, related instrumentation, power output control system, etc. Hybrid power plant systems that transform fossil-fuel energy into electrical energy used for thrust and/or lift are not considered to be covered under ‘electric power plant’. […]

text: AMC1 66.A.20(b)(2) Privileges

text: 2. Nature of the experience: […] For category B1, B2, B2L, B3 and L, for every aircraft included in the authorisation the experience should be withon that particular aircraft or withon a similar aircraft within the same licence (sub)category. Two aircraft can be considered to be similar when they have similar technology, construction and comparable systems, which means equally equipped with the following (as applicable to the licence category): — Propulsion systems (piston, turboprop, turbofan, turboshaft, jet enginejet-engine or push propellers, electric power plant, etc.); and […] — Subcategory used (A1, A2, A3, A4, B1.1, B1.2, B1.3, B1.4, B1.E, B2, B2L, B3, C or L1, L1C, L2, L2C, L3G, L3H, L4G, L4H, L5);

text: — Duration in days or partial dayspartial days.

text: GM1 66.A.45 Endorsement with aircraft ratings

text: The following table shows a summary of the aircraft rating requirements contained in points 66.A.45, and 66.A.50, and in Appendix III to Part-66.

text: The table contains the following:

text: — The different aircraft groups.

text: — For each licence (sub)category, which ratings are possible (at the applicant’s choice of the applicant):

text: — Individual type ratings.

text: — Full and/or Mmanufacturer (sub)group ratings.

text: — For each rating option, which are the qualification options.

text: — For the B1.2 licence (Group 3 aircraft), the B3 licence (piston-engine non-pressurised aeroplanes of 2 000 kg MTOM and below) and the L licences, which are the possible limitations and ratings to be included in the licence if not sufficient experience can be demonstrated in those areas.

text: Note: OJT means ‘On-the-Job Training’ (Section 6 of Appendix III to Part-66Appendix III to Part-66, Section 6) and is only required for the first aircraft rating in the applicable licence (sub)category. There are peculiarities that apply for the endorsement of aircraft referred to in point 66.A.3(b) and they are explained after the following table.

text: The endorsement of a licence with an aircraft type referred to in point 66.A.3(b) within a B1.x or B2 (sub)category does not require OJT, provided that the licence has already been endorsed with an aircraft type not referred to in point 66.A.3(b) within the same (sub)category. If the licence has not yet been endorsed with such aircraft type for that (sub)category, then the OJT performed for an aircraft referred to in point 66.A.3(b), which is endorsed within that (sub)category, may or may not be counted as the ‘first aircraft type’ for the purpose described in the first paragraph of point (c) of point 66.A.45. This will be specified in the operational suitability data for the aircraft. For instance, a given small and simple aircraft referred to in point 66.A.3(b) may be suitable for endorsement within both the B1.1 and B1.2 subcategories, but the related OJT may only be considered suitable for allowing further type endorsement without conducting additional OJT within the B1.2 subcategory. Following the example above, after having endorsed the aircraft referred to in point 66.A.3(b) as the first aircraft type within the subcategory B1.1, the additional OJT required in the third paragraph of point (c) of point 66.A.45 should cover only the OJT tasks that were not covered before, as acceptable to the authority.

text: AMC1 66.A.45(da) Endorsement with aircraft ratings

text: RESPONSIBLE PERSON OF THE AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURER REFERRED TO IN POINT 66.A.45(da)

text: In the case of a manufacturing organisation that holds a production organisation approval in accordance with Part 21, the organisation should issue a declaration of accomplishment and a training report containing relevant information as regards the syllabus and the level of knowledge obtained by the candidate, mentioning the personnel involved in the training and examination, and declaring that the aircraft type training delivered by the organisation to the candidate has been conducted fulfilling

text: the conditions of point 66.A.45(da). The responsible person that signs off the declaration of accomplishment and the training report should be a nominated person referred to in point 21.A.145(c)(2) and be sufficiently knowledgeable of Appendix III of Part-66 and of point 66.A.45 (da). The training report may be drafted by another person (e.g. trainer, assessor, examiner) involved in such process. Personnel that deliver the training or assess or examine the competence of the candidate should have relevant knowledge and experience, and have direct access to the responsible person and their names quoted in the report. The manufacturer should be able to demonstrate compliance with this AMC to the satisfaction of the licensing authority. For cases where the manufacturing organisation does not hold a production organisation approval in accordance with Part 21, similar arrangements may be accepted by the licensing authority that will endorse the aircraft type on the licence before the training is delivered.

text: AMC1 66.B.115 Procedure for the change of an aircraft maintenance licence to include an aircraft rating or to remove limitations

text: (a) Where the type training has neithernot been conducted by a Part-147 organisation nor delivered as permitted in point 66.A.45(da), there should be supporting documents confirming to the competent authority that: […]
