Frequently asked questions

Maintenance organisations which have not developed in paragraph 3.15 of the EOM the procedure for carrying out the OJT shall comply with the requirements set out in Guide AC-OJT-DT01:

This link includes the citation of a guide, the taskbook and the evaluation format.

With regard to the task book:

• It must perform at least 50 % of the tasks applicable to the aircraft and to the licensing category.
• Non-applicable tasks should be listed as such.
• At least one task for each applicable ATA must be performed.

We also have to contribute:

• Written appointment of the supervisors and the evaluator by the Quality Manager of the organisation.
• A copy of the certifying credential and the license of the supervisors and the evaluator must be provided.
• A copy of EASA format 4 on the appointment of the Quality Manager of the organisation appointing the supervisory/evaluator staff must be provided.
• Copy of the maintenance organisation’s approval certificate.

If the OJT has been carried out on the basis of paragraph 3.15 of the EOM of the maintenance organisation and has been approved by EASA, the applicant would have to provide:

• Workplace evaluation format as a justification for successful completion of the OJT in accordance with the requirements of Part 66.

• Workbook duly filled in and signed.

In the event that the OJT has been carried out on the basis of paragraph 3.15 of the EOM in a maintenance organisation approved under Part 145 or Part M Subpart F and Part-CAO, not by EASA but by an Authority of a Member State of the European Union, the following must be provided:

• Workplace evaluation format as a justification for successful completion of the OJT in accordance with the requirements of Part 66.

• Copy of paragraph 3.15 of the EOM.

• Workbook duly filled in and signed.

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.

Information on the experience required to obtain a license can be found in the “User Guide” (LIC-P66-P01-GU01), on the AESA website. 

Experience gained outside the EASA environment may be accepted provided that its authenticity is demonstrated, that it complies with the standards of Part 66 and is accredited in a manner acceptable to EASA. Such standards shall be similar to those of a Part 145 EASA maintenance facility. 

For this, in addition, the approval of the maintenance center in question issued by the local authority must be provided, as well as the appointment of the head of that center who signs the certificates. 

There is no process for validating aircraft maintenance licenses obtained outside the EASA environment. EASA only recognises for the issue of LMA Part 66, the training obtained and passed as set out in Annex III (Part-66) to Regulation (EU) 1321/2014. 
 
You can find information about the application for licenses in Spain in the “User Guide” at the following link.

A simple note is a certified copy of the aircraft’s registration seats. A certificate of ownership and charges is limited to exposing to whom the aircraft currently belongs and if it is subject to charges such as liens or mortgages. You can find more information on how to apply at this link. 
 
As regards the payment of the fee, the fee to be taken into account is the 19th and you have the information on it here.
