Is it possible to obtain the approval of a Part 147 Maintenance Training Organisation in Spain through AESA having the headquarters outside Spain?

In order to obtain approval 147 by AESA, the head office (headquarter or social headquarters of the company where the financial functions and operational control of the activities are exercised) must be registered in Spain.
If the Head Office is located in another EASA member country, the application for approval shall be submitted to the Aviation Authority of that country.  
If the Head Office is located in another country that is NOT a member of EASA, the application for approval will be submitted to EASA.

When does the calendar interval for the next completion of a maintenance task start if an extension is made?

See EASA FAQ n. 19102.

If the TCH includes in its ICAs instructions for the calculation of the next completion, these should be followed. 

If not, the date of the next completion will be the expiry date prior to the extension or as agreed with the authority, the final decision must be made by the extension approver. 

For Part-ML regulated aircraft, the situation is different when the 1 month tolerance in ML.A.302(d) applies, the following interval will be calculated from the date of compliance (see ML.A.302(d)(1) and AMC1 ML.A.302(d)).

What happens to an approved PM when a "One Business Group" is created with a "Single Group CAMO"?

EASA Response:

If the Authority responsible for the approval of the aircraft maintenance programme remains the same, i.e. the authority of the State of registry of the aircraft, the CAMO may continue to use the programme, unless the programme needs to be modified due to changing operating environments, operation, utilisation, etc.

How should deviations be described in the EASA Form AMP of AMC2 ML.A.302?

EASA's response:

  1. Appendix B:
    • When the programme is based on the DAH ICAs, Appendix B is to include the additional tasks to those ICAs. In case it is based on an IPM Appendix B is used to include:
      • Certain tasks of the DAH ICAs (e.g. maintenance due to components with limiting life).
      • Other supplementary tasks (e.g. due to aircraft operation).

The intervals in the right hand column should be as defined in the AMP.

How long do I have since I passed the course until it expires before I get the LMA Part 66 license?

Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 provides in paragraph (b) of 66.A.25 that basic training courses and examinations shall be conducted within the 10 years preceding the application for an aircraft maintenance licence or the addition of a category or subcategory to that licence.

 

Those modules that have passed 10 years will need to be re-examined if the syllabus of these modules has changed since it was approved until the date on which the license is requested. If the agenda of those modules had not changed, it would not have to be reconsidered.
