SUBPART A - GENERAL

65.1 Applicability

This Part prescribes the requirements for the issue or renewal of:

(a) aircraft maintenance licences, certificates and ratings; and

(b) the privileges and limitations of those licences, certificates and ratings.

65.2 Definitions

The following definitions apply to this Part:

A basic certificate is equivalent to a licence without ratings and is issued by the

DGCA to persons who meet the age, knowledge, skill and experience requirements
of this Part.

A certificate of maintenance approval is equivalent to a licence, but the group or type

ratings may be limited in respect of validity and scope.

A licence is the document described in Annex 1, Chapter 4, paragraph 4.2.

A group rating is a rating covering a group of aircraft or components. Groups of

aircraft or components shall be as determined by the DGCA.

A type rating is a rating for a specified individual aircraft or component.

A group or type rating, when added to a basic certificate, is a licence.

The scope of a group or type rating defines the range of aircraft or components for
which the rating is valid. The scope of a licence rating is fixed. The scope of a rating
on a certificate of maintenance approval may be limited as the DGCA decides.

When referred to in this Part, a workshop engineer, is a person who holds a licence
rating or a certificate of maintenance approval granting privileges for the certification
of specified aircraft or components after overhaul or repair.
