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.
