    Study Notes

    CASR Part 66 Regulations

    • CASR Part 66 CASR 1998 outlines regulations for aircraft maintenance.
    • Regulations are established and amended by acts of Parliament.
    • Part 66 covers administration and procedures for aircraft engineer licenses and ratings.
    • Issues Certificates of Release to Service (CRSs) for aircraft maintenance.
    • Empowers Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) to issue maintenance orders (MOSs) related to maintaining aircraft engineer licences and associated privileges.

    Maintenance Orders (MOSs)

    • MOSs are legislative instruments, required to be registered then made public.
    • They support CASR Part 66 and detail requirements for aircraft engineer licenses.
    • MOSs can be issued and changed by CASA.
    • MOSs include technical specifications, technical standards, and safety requirements.

    Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licenses

    • CASR 1998 Part 42 requires maintenance certification from a maintenance organization.
    • Authorization to conduct maintenance is required from the organization.
    • Aircraft related licenses are often referenced within standards and manuals in the CASR.
    • Manuals and MOSs describe specific parts of the CASR and provide detailed requirements.

    Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMCs)

    • AMCs explain how the CASR 1998 requirements are met by individuals or organizations.
    • Applicants are not obligated to adhere to AMCs, though, doing so may result in a quicker response to their application.
    • Individuals can propose alternative methods of meeting CASR requirements.
    • CASA evaluates alternative methods.

    Guidance Material (GMs)

    • GMs provide explanations and amplification of CASR policies.
    • GMs explain, but do not specify, how to comply with the CASR.

    Aircraft Engineer License Categories

    • Part 66 MOS details the requirements for issuing aircraft engineer licenses in different categories (A, B1, B2, C).
    • Categories have subcategories based on combinations of aircraft types and engine types.
    • Type ratings are required for specific aircraft types to enhance safety.
    • Non-type-rated aircraft don't require a type rating.
    • Aircraft systems are categorized into mechanical, powerplant, structural, electrical, or avionic systems.

    Licence Privileges

    • Category A licenses allow specified maintenance and certification, including line maintenance tasks mentioned in Part 145 MOS Appendix II.
    • Category B1 licenses allow for specific maintenance certification and issuing of CRSs for maintenance performed on large category aircraft.
    • Category B2 licenses permit maintenance on all systems defined in table 1, including structural, electrical, mechanical, and avionics.
    • Category C licenses allow base maintenance certification on large aircraft types.
    • Specific conditions and procedures apply to various categories and subcategories concerning aircraft type and engine.

    License Application

    • Applications are submitted via a specific form (e.g., Form 540).
    • Applications must be in writing, accompanied by relevant evidence of qualifications and experience, and specifics of the license category.
    • Applicants must demonstrate competence through examinations, training, and experience.
    • CASA assesses applications.
    • Applicants must be able to read, write and speak English.
    • Any relevant medical conditions should be declared to CASA at the time of application.

    Maintenance Requalification

    • AME Licence holders need to requalify by completing maintenance after a specific time period.
    • This may involve working on aircraft for a minimum period, or have an authorised MTO report confirming knowledge and skills.

    Licence Requirements

    • Knowledge and competency are crucial for all aspects of aircraft maintenance.
    • Examinations are a key part of the process.
    • Specific modules and their contents must be demonstrated as part of the application.
