AMC 66.A.10 Application

• 1. Maintenance experience should be written up in a manner


that the reader has a reasonable understanding of where,
when and what maintenance constitutes the experience. A
task-by task account is not necessary but at the same time a
bland statement “X years maintenance experience
completed” is not acceptable. A logbook of maintenance
experience is desirable and some competent authorities may
require such a logbook to be kept. It is acceptable to cross-
refer in the EASA Form 19 to other documents containing
information on maintenance.

competent authority as a competent organisation or institute
should include the relevant certificate of successful
completion of training.

Type Training and Examination Standard

• Aircraft type training courses are delivered in accordance with an approved


training specification and are structured to cover all aspects of the category
of licence. i.e. B1.1 or B2.

• The theory element of this training is to supported by on the job training


OJT which is accomplished by aircraft visits or the use of flight simulators
etc.

• Following completion of this structured Theory course, an approved


practical training element needs to be completed. This can either be done
under the control of a Part 147 Training organisation or a Part 145
Maintenance organisation.

• The standard for examining Type training courses consists of Multi Choice
Questions (MCQ) with three alternative answers. The pass mark is 75%.

• Any person may be responsible for any combination of the
Part 66/147 v02
Part-147.A.105 Personnel requirements

• The Accountable Manager:


Has the overall corporate responsibility and authority for ensuring that
all training is financed and carried out in accordance with the Part-147/
Part-66 regulation.

• The Training Manager:


Responsible for the day to day running of the training organisation,
including the facilities, delivery of theory and practical training,
maintenance of training hardware; the training and qualification of staff
and the accuracy and revision of training material and all records.
This position also usually interfaces directly with the competent authority
with respect to any changes in the training organisation. The level of
responsibility of this position will vary widely dependent on size of
organisation.

Part-147.A.105 Personnel requirements

• The Quality Manager (QM):


The Quality manager has responsibility for the quality oversight of the
approval. The function of the Quality Manager will vary widely dependent
upon the size of the training organisation.

Guidance Material (GM) to 147.A.130 states that …. “a large organisation


(training 50 students or more) should have a dedicated quality audit
group whose sole function is to conduct audits, raise finding reports
and follow up to ensure that findings are being rectified.”
In this situation the QM will have responsibility for production and delivery
of a Quality Audit program and overall management of the audit team.

In a small organisation, the QM is responsible for producing and delivering


an audit program. Additionally a qualified independent auditor is to be
contracted for the annual independent audit function.

The independent audit procedure should ensure that all


aspects of Part-147 compliance are checked at least once in
every 12 months it may be carried out as one complete single
exercise or subdivided over a 12-month period in accordance
with a scheduled plan.
In a small maintenance training organisation the independent
audit function may be contracted to another maintenance
training organisation approved under Part-147 or a
competent person acceptable to the competent authority.
Where the small training organisation chooses to contract the
audit function it is conditional on the audit being carried out
twice in every 12 month period with one such audit being
unannounced.

audit a prospective sub-contractor to determine whether the
services of the sub-contractor meet the intent of Part 147.
• (ii) a renewal audit of the subcontractor should be performed
at least once every 12 months to ensure continuous
compliance with the Part-147 standard.
• (iii) the sub-contract control procedure should record audits of
