➢ On-the-job experienced technicians and engineers.
➢ Graduates who need specialised to find jobs in aircraft maintenance industry.
➢ Students who are currently self-studying for EASA and wants a Part-66 qualification.

2. What is the validity of the Part 66 certificate after completing the EASA examination?
The certificate is valid for 10 years from the passing date of the examination.

3. How many years of relevant experience will it take to be a licensed engineer after
Passing the EASA examination?
Example:
a. Students (inexperienced and completed EASA 147 basic courses) need to accumulate 2 years of relevant work experience in aircraft maintenance environment.
b. Self-Study individuals (inexperienced and did not attend EASA 147 basic courses) need 5 years of relevant work experience in aircraft maintenance environment.
c. Technicians (who have had 5 years of experience) have met the requirements of experience and completed all the B1 and/or B2 examination modules can obtain EASA license by applying to EASA.

4. What is the difference between self-study exam and EASA Part 147 basic course training?
Self-study method is more flexible where you can study at home. Once you get the certificate, you can work in an aircraft maintenance organisation, and apply for the EASA engineer license upon completing 5 years relevant of work experience, Participation in EASA Part 147 basic course training will take about one and a half to two years to complete. After completing the exam, you will need another two years of aircraft
maintenance experience before you can apply for EASA Part 66 license

5. I do work for MRO in SOUTH EAST ASIA , Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Timor-Leste, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, , Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Why should I get EASA qualification ?
EASA certificate is an internationally recognized certification, which is recognised worldwide. The holder of this certification will provide you the opportunity to work in All Europe and is widely recognised and accepted in Asia, Australasia, Middle East, Arab Emirates as well as in Africa

6. Can students already enrolled in EASA Part 147 basic course training apply for these exams?
Yes, students who are studying EASA Part 147 basic courses can apply for all EASA Part 66 exams. Students can find jobs in aircraft maintenance companies after successful completion of all required exams. Through this option, the examinees does not have to spend long hours in classroom for training and can start gaining experience earlier.


7. Can EASA basic license be converted to other countries basic license?
For many other countries, EASA can be use as a basis of conversion to other aviation authorities authority such as (Hong Kong HKCAD, Malaysia CAAM, Thailand CAAT, Singapore CAAS, and Australia CASA etc.) with additional local examinations (M9 and/or M10). The General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) recognizes EASA and EASA license holders can converted directly to GCAA license.

8. If I am currently a Foreign License Aircraft Engineer and wish to seek an EASA Part 66 License, can i just attend the preview and examination, and apply for the license?
A short answer is yes, provided you have accumulated a minimum of 5 years experience and have a complete history of your recent personal experience recorded on your logbook. But with that being said, you will still need to check with the EASA NAA that you intent to apply to for a possibility of any additional requirement that might be imposed by the respective EASA NATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY you are applying to.

Become an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer

The Aircraft Engineer is also known as an Aircraft Technician at times. While engineer is the commonly used term in EU technician means the same thing within the aviation industry.

Civil Aviation is a highly regulated and respected industry controlled by national aviation authorities. To maintain the enviable safety standards that have been established, people working within the industry must be licensed. In other words, just as Pilots are trained and then licensed to fly aircraft, Engineers must be trained and licensed to maintain aircraft and then release those aircraft into service.

A student wishing to establish a career in the Aviation Industry must undertake professional training leading to the appropriate qualifications and certification.

The Aim of the Aircraft Maintenance Engineer
By ensuring that all maintenance work and all maintenance engineers are fully trained and regulated, the Aviation Industry (and its governing bodies) aims to maintain;

"the safety of the aircraft and all passengers"

This aim is not simple to achieve. Aircraft are a complex mixture of systems maintained by an equally complex workforce. For this reason, it is worth your while taking time to understand the licensing process for certifying Aircraft Engineers and the training that you will undertake if you choose Aircraft Engineering as your career.

Qualifications for Aircraft Engineering
What type of Engineer do you want to be? What qualification will you require?

To help you choose, you will first need to understand something of the process of certification.

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is the organisation that regulates all aviation activity within Europe and it delegates authority for implementation of its regulations to National Aviation Authorities

To ensure safety within the industry, engineering personnel are licensed in the same way as pilots and air traffic controllers. If suitably licensed an engineer can certify the work that has been carried out on an aircraft and return it to service.

There are several categories of licence which cover different levels and disciplines and, as in other professions, a variety of routes exist to achieve them. Let us deal with the type of work and work parts that are required for Category B License.

A Base Maintenance Certifying Technician is a person who is qualified to work on aircraft that require more complex maintenance tasks or have been withdrawn from service for routine periodic servicing or major overhauls and re-fits and who can then subsequently certify his/her own and other work.

B Licence is required for this. It is attained after graduation from a 2 year approved course and after 2 years of appropriate certified experience. Category B licences are further divided into specialist skills such as mechanical or avionic. The alternative route to this licence is the self-improver, which can be achieved by self-study or attending a modular course. In this case 5 years of appropriate experience is required.

If you decide that you would like to be a Mechanical Engineer specialising in scheduled maintenance, restoration and re-fit of airframes, power plants, fuel systems and associated pneumatic, hydraulic and air-conditioning systems then you can select from both category A & B licence routes. The licence issued will show which category of aircraft it applies to - which will be one of the following:

An aircraft (often referred to as called that extract energy combustion compressor turbine, and or similar technology

B1.1 Fixed Wing: Aeroplanes with Turbine Engines
Turbine Engines: (often referred to as jet engines) and also called combustion turbines, are rotary engines that extract energy from a flow of combustion gas. It has an upstream compressor coupled to a downstream turbine, and a combustion chamber in-between. Turbine aircraft may be propeller or jet driven.

B1.2 Fixed Wing: Aeroplanes with Piston Engines
Piston Engines: (otherwise known as reciprocating engines) use fundamentally similar technology to those used by cars and motorcycles where pistons in cylinders are used to generate motive force for propulsion by turning pressure into a rotating motion. These engines always drive a propeller.

B1.3 Rotary Wing: Helicopters with Turbine Engines
This licence category will allow the mechanical engineer to service to base maintenance level, helicopters with one or more Turbine Engines and all associated systems including power plants, fuel systems and associated pneumatic, hydraulic and air-conditioning systems.

B1.4 Rotary Wing: Helicopters with Piston Engines
This licence category will allow the mechanical engineer to service to base maintenance level, helicopters with a Piston Engine and all associated systems including power plants, fuel systems and associated pneumatic, hydraulic and air-conditioning systems.

B2 Avionic: Electronic systems fitted to all aircraft
If you are more electronically orientated and decide that you would like to be an Avionics Engineer specialising in scheduled maintenance, restoration and modification of communication, navigation, radar equipment; guidance and control systems including auto-pilot/auto-land and cabin entertainment then this license is the one to choose, Note: this qualification is only licensed at category B level.

To achieve the category you have chosen refer to the license path below which indicate timescales for comparison.

Category B License Path
Here is a pictorial view of the path to achieving your Category B License.
