Appendix I to AMC to Annex III — Aircraft Type Ratings for Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licences

The following aircraft type ratings should be used to ensure a common standard throughout the Member States. In order to keep this list up-to-date, if a Member State needs to issue a type rating that is not included in this list, the information should be passed on to EASA using the EASA ‘Contact us’ webpage (https://www.easa.europa.eu/contact-us). The tables may erroneously contain aircraft models that fall within the definition of Annex I aircraft of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139. The requirements of Part-66 do not apply to these aircraft. Notes on type rating (TR) endorsement covering several models/variants: The endorsement of a type rating (TR) on the aircraft maintenance licence (AML), covering several models/variants, does not automatically imply that the AML holder has acquired the appropriate knowledge on each model/variant. In fact, the AML holder may only have received TR training and/or gained experience that was limited to one or several models or variants. To demonstrate adequate competence on the relevant model(s)/variant(s), the AML holder and/or the maintenance organisation where the AML holder is contracted/employed is (are) responsible to verify that the model/variant has been adequately covered by the TR course or gained experience and is up to date. Further explanation can be found in AMC 66.A.20(b)3 and AMC 145.A.35(a). Notes on when and how the licences should be modified: The licensing authorities should implement the new type rating list within 6 months after publication of this Decision. During this implementation period, the old type ratings may still be endorsed. New applications for type ratings that are no longer certified by EASA should not be accepted. Licences with the old type ratings shall be endorsed with the amended type ratings, whenever the licensing authority deems necessary or the holder requests it; however, no later than the next renewal of the licence. The instructions on how to endorse a modified type rating (for example, in the case of combined or split TRs) are included in the chapter ‘Details of the changes’ of explanatory note of the decision. Notes on aircraft modified by a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC): This Appendix intends to include the type ratings of aircraft resulting from STCs for installation of a different engine. These STCs are those approved by EASA and those approved by the Member States before 2003 and grandfathered by EASA. STCs other than those for engines are not considered. Example: The STC from JET AVIATION AG, approved by the LBA for replacement of GE CF 700 by Honeywell TFE731 on Fan Jet Falcon Series E, results in a new rating called ‘Falcon 20E (Honeywell TFE731)’. However, the ratings from STCs for installation of an engine: on part of the original airframe models, or from the same manufacturer, but of a type very similar to the original one, have not been added because they would have resulted in an already existing rating. Examples: The STC from SILVERHAWK CONVERSIONS approved by EASA for installation of PT6A-135A on Beech C90, C90A and E90 would result in the Beech C90/C90A/E90 (PWC PT6) rating, but this is not listed because it is already included in the original Beech 90 Series (PWC PT6) rating. The STC from Air-Service Wildgruber GmbH approved by LBA for replacement of PWC PT6A-20 by PWC PT6A-27 would result in the De Havilland DHC-6-100 (PWC PT6) rating, but this is not listed because it is already included in the De Havilland DHC-6 (PWC PT6) rating in the table. EASA has not received all the information concerning STCs that have been previously approved by the Member States. As a result, not all STCs are considered by this publication. When the STC concerns the installation of an engine that falls under a different subcategory, e.g. replacement of a piston engine by a turboprop (a turbine engine), then the new type rating endoresment requires compliance with all the relevant criteria for basic knowledge, experience, type training, and on-the-job training (OJT). In case a type rating resulting from an STC has not been yet defined by EASA, the latter shall be contacted by the competent authority to agree on a new type rating to be used. In the following tables: The table is alphabetically sorted first by TC/STC Holder, then by TR endorsement, and finally by Model. The column ‘TC Holder’ includes the TC holder as defined in the type certificate data sheets (TCDS) (EASA, FAA or other) or the specific airworthiness specifications (SAS). The column ‘STC Holder’ includes the STC holder as defined in the supplemental type certificate data sheets (STCDS) (EASA, FAA or other). Some TC holders’ designations have been corrected to add the information: ‘Aircraft with an SAS’, this means that the aircraft listed under this TC holder designation is considered to be an ‘orphan aircraft’or General Aviation aircraft form CIS (former Sovjet Union) countries. In Group 3, the column ‘Type of structure’ intends to assist the competent authorities in identifying the experience required for this type with a view to removing existing limitations on the licence. In Group 4, the column ‘Type of structure’ intends to assist the competent authorities in identifying the required ‘L’ subcategories. Wooden structure covered with fabric is considered to fall under wooden structure. For aeroplanes with a combination of structures, e.g. metal tubing fuselage and wooden wings, both experiences ‘metal tube covered with fabric’ and ‘wooden structure’ are required. In Group 3, the column ‘MTOM’ intends to assist the competent authorities in identifying the aeroplane types where the maximum take-off mass (MTOM) is: above 2t requires a B1.2 and B2 or B2L licence, or 2t and below requires a B1.2 or B3 and B2 or B2L licence. The column ‘NOTE’ in every table includes some useful information, when relevant, e.g.: ELA1 or ELA2 aircraft. ‘OSD Approved’ or ‘Pending OSD Approval’ means that an OSD-MCS (operational suitability data for maintenance certifying staff) exists or is still under the approval process at the date of publication of this ED Decision. OSD data is owned by the TCH (see TCHs contact list: https://www.easa.europa.eu/document-library/operational-suitability-data/osd-contact-list). Type training courses approved before the approval of the OSD-MCS shall include the OSD elements within 2 years after the OSD-MCS approval. STC reference number. ‘TC (or STC) not yet released’ means that the type certificate (or STC) has not yet been released by EASA at the date of publication of this ED Decision, but the final model configuration is sufficiently mature that the type rating endorsement can be already defined. In this case, the initial training and licensing may start and be used for approval of type training courses and Part-66 licence endorsement. On the contrary, the associated rating for the maintenance organisation can be granted only after the type certification of the aircraft (or after the approval of the STC).
