Frequently asked questions

In order to speed up the processing of the application, there is the possibility of submitting a telematic application through the catalogue of procedures and services of the EASA Electronic Headquarters under the name "LMA Part-66 Maintenance Technician Licence Management", in the section "Licences and Aeronautical Medicine":

LMA maintenance technician licence management (Part 66)

If submitted on paper, applications may be handed in at any official registry of the State administration (Art. 16 of Law 39/2015). And it must be addressed to the Service of Licensing and Training of Maintenance Technicians of the Aircraft Safety Directorate of AESA:

Maintenance Technician Licensing and Training Service
Aircraft Safety Directorate
STATE AVIATION SAFETY AGENCY
Paseo de la Castellana, 112
28046 Madrid
Telephone: +34.91.396.87.18

In addition to the application, you must also provide all the documentation required for the procedure you are applying for.It is not possible to provide documentation by e-mail, as it is not a valid official record. Any application sent by e-mail will not be evaluated.

Applicants who complete basic training at an approved Part 147 organisation and then pass the examinations in another approved Party 147 organisation, will be granted full basic course consideration and, therefore, the reduction of the basic experience requirement will be maximum, eventually remaining within 1 or 2 years. 

The combination of Certificates of Recognition (only complete basic training + examination of modules) will be sufficient for the competent authority to recognise that the basic training course has been successfully ‘completed’. 
 
See also AMC of Appendix III to Part 147 "Certificates of recognition referred to in Annex IV (Part 147) – EASA Format 148

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.

The appointment must be made in writing by the quality manager of the organisation, which is prior to the start of the OJT. There must also be a signature of “received” by the data subject (evaluator or supervisor) in order to justify that he is aware of his or her role. There is no established format for such appointments.

Point 1 of Appendix III of Annex III (Part-66) to Regulation (EU) 1321/2014 provides that theoretical and practical training must have been initiated and completed in the three years preceding the application for the entry of the type rating, regardless of whether an LMA Part 66 licence is already held or not.

Once the OJT is completed, when you want to incorporate the type rating in the license, the following documentation will be sent to AESA:

• The on-the-job training booklet, which shall include:
  • the name of the applicant
  • date of birth of the applicant; 
  • approved maintenance organisation(s) in which the OJT has been performed; 
  • aircraft rating and licence categories applied for; 
  • list of tasks, including the following: 
  • description of tasks; 
  • reference to the work card/work order/technical registration of the aircraft, etc.; 
  • place where the task has been completed; 
  • date on which the task is completed; 
  • aircraft registration; 
  • name of guardians (including licence number, if applicable); 
  • a signed recommendation from the guardians for the subsequent final assessment of the applicant.
• The final evaluation of the applicant by the evaluator(s).

They are valid. The only difference is that the certificate of recognition on which they appear corresponds to the EASA 148 format, while the basic examinations approved as of 12 June 2024 will appear in an EASA 148a format if they have been carried out in a Part 147 organisation, or in an EASA 148b format (if they have been carried out with the Authority).
