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 log book of maintenance experience is desirable and some competent authorities may require such log book to be kept. It is acceptable to cross refer in the EASA Form 19 to other documents containing information on maintenance.

2.Applicants claiming the maximum reduction in 66.A.30(a) total experience based upon having successfully completed 147.A.200 approved basic training should include the Part-147 certificate of recognition for approved basic training.

3.Applicants claiming reduction in 66.A.30(a) total experience based upon having successfully completed technical training in an organisation or institute recognised by the competent authority as a competent organisation or institute, should include the relevant certificate of successful completion of training.

When an application is made for a licence in the B2L category, the applicant should specify on the EASA Form 19: the system rating or the combination of system ratings the applicant applies for; and the aircraft rating, considering that according to 66.A.45(e), a B2L licence endorsed with full subgroup 2b can be endorsed also with full subgroup 2c. When applying for the addition of a system rating on a B2L licence, the applicant should provide together with the application, the demonstration of compliance with the experience requirements related to the system the applicant applies for. When a B2L licence holder applies for the extension of a B2L licence to add a new system rating, he/she needs to demonstrate the practical experience required by 66.A.30(a)(2a) for the system rating but also the practical experience required by 66.A.45(e) and (f) in case the aircraft group is different. When a B2L licence holder applies for the change of his/her B2L licence to the B2 category, he/she needs only to: demonstrate by examination the differences between the basic knowledge corresponding to the B2L licence held and the basic knowledge of the B2 licence, as described in Appendix I; and demonstrate the additional experience described in Appendix IV. These requirements can be found also for the competent authority in 66.B.110. When an applicant applies for the extension of his/her B2L licence to a B2 licence and he/she meets the relevant requirements, the B2L licence is replaced by the B2 licence.
