AMC 66.B.305(a)Conversion report for national qualifications

Show the text

1.Conversion reports prepared on the basis of point 66.A.70(c) should include a comparison between the scope of the national qualification (i.e., the national qualification requirements) and the scope of the Part-66 licence qualification (i.e., the Part-66 qualification requirements), which should be performed on the basis of a detailed analysis of the national and Part-66 basic qualification standards. The report should identify where a difference between the two standards exists and where such a difference would lead to a limitation on the Part-66 licence.

2.Conversion reports prepared on the basis of point 66.A.70(d), which are limited to other-than-complex motor-powered aircraft not used by air carriers licensed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 should include the privileges associated to the national qualification. The reports should identify which limitations are needed to the Part-66 licence in order to maintain these privileges.

GM 66.B.305(b)3 Conversion report for national qualifications

Show the text

As conversions performed on the basis of 66.A.70(d) are aimed to maintain the privileges of the pre-existing national qualification, the limitations introduced on the Part-66 licence are not linked to possible differences between the scope of the national qualification and the scope of the Part-66 licence qualification. This conversion does not include such comparison. This means that, in order to remove such limitations, full compliance with the conditions of Part-66 needs to be demonstrated.
