14 Page 14 Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003 PART-M Concept 2 ways of managing continuing airworthiness Approved Approved Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation - Subpart-G Maintenance released by: - Subpart-F - PART-145 Non Approved (only for non Commercial Air Transport) Continuing Airworthiness Management by the owner Maintenance released by: - An Approved Maintenance Organisation - An PART-66 licensed Engineer

15 Page 15 Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003 PART-M Concept The Certificate of Airworthiness of unlimited duration + An Airworthiness Review Certificate Valid 1 to 3 years Validating the C of A when accompanying it

16 Page 16 Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003 PART-M Concept 3 ways of issuing an “ARC” Airworthiness Review Certificate By an Approved Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation Only for aircraft managed by the same approved organisation for the last 6 months By the Member State based on a recommendation by an Approved Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation For aircraft not managed by an approved organisation or not having been managed by the same approved organisation for the last 6 months By the Member State after direct inspection For certain cases where the authority feels it must intervene. Some cases will be listed.

17 Page 17 Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003 PART-M Subpart A: General Applicability: - Contains the Continuing Airworthiness requirements applicable to all aircraft and their components issued with a certificate of airworthiness Effectivity Definitions

18 Page 18 Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003 PART-M SubPART-B: Accountability General Aviation: The owner/lessee Can delegate tasks to approved organisations with a “Continuing Airworthiness Arrangement”

19 Page 19 Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003 PART-M SubPART-B: Accountability Commercial Air Transport: The Operator Must be approved according to Subpart G for continuing airworthiness management. (Subpart G for AOC holders is based on Subpart M of JAR-OPS) In the case of Commercial Air Transport, it is important to stress that: - The continuing airworthiness management is the operator’s direct responsibility - Responsibilities and tasks remain unchanged - Only the C of A renewal has been added to the responsibilities

28 Page 28 Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003 Implementing Rule PART-145

29 Page 29 The basis for PART-145 PART-145 is based upon JAR-145 Amendment 5, dated 1 January 2003 Changes are made in order to ensure consistency with newly introduced PART-M and PART-66, to include aeroplane and helicopters with a maximum take-off mass below 5700kg No further changes to the content of the requirement Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003

30 Page 30 Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003 Implementing Rule PART-66

31 Page 31 The basis for PART-66 ICAO Annex 1 PART-66 is based upon JAR-66 Issue 1 dated 3 April 1998. This code applied to certifying staff on aeroplanes and helicopters with a maximum take-off mass of 5700kg and above This code has been completed to include aeroplanes and helicopters with a maximum take-off mass below 5700kg Other additional changes are made in order to ensure consistency with newly introduced PART-M, in particular as concerns the use of the PART-66 licence outside the PART- 145 environment Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003

32 Page 32 Changes to JAR-66 – General Finally changes were introduced with the objective of clarifying the border between PART-145 and PART-66. PART-145 deals with the requirements and privileges of certifying staff within an Approved Maintenance Organisation, while PART-66 deals with the requirement and privileges associated with the licence. This change has also been made necessary because of the introduction of PART-M, where the privileges of the licence holder will be different to those from an PART-145 Approved Maintenance Organisation. Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003

33 Page 33 Definition of “Large Aircraft” according to Commission regulation … continuing airworthiness of aircraft… “Large Aircraft” means an aircraft, classified as an aeroplane with a maximum take off mass of more than 5700kg, or a multi-engined helicopter” Remark: All other aircraft are „non-large aircraft“, the wording „light aircraft“ will be used for this part of the presentation Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003

34 Page 34 Changes to JAR-66 – Light Aircraft The scope of existing A, B1, and B2 categories is extended to include light aircraft The scope of existing C category is extended to include light aircraft. Category C is an option and not required by PART- 145 and PART-M. Release to service for light aircraft will be performed by Category B1 and/or B2 certifying staff, as appropriate Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003

35 Page 35 Changes to JAR-66 – Light Aircraft Category B1.2 (piston engine aeroplanes) examination syllabus is simplified in order to reflect the fact that the technology of the piston engine aeroplane group is simpler than that of the turbine engine aeroplane group. A new Module 11b specific to piston engine aeroplanes is introduced, the number of questions required for Subcategory B1.2 and A2 has been reduced Category B1.4 (piston engine helicopter) examination syllabus remains almost the same (some changes in Module 5 only) Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003

36 Page 36 Changes to JAR-66 – Light Aircraft Experience requirements for categories B1.2 and B1.4 are reduced to 3 years instead of 5 years previously Light aircraft will require type examination only, instead of type training for large aircraft. The text includes however a provision for the Agency to require type training for those light aircraft it would consider as complex aircraft Group Ratings instead of type ratings will be possible for light aircraft Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003

37 Page 37 Changes due to the introduction of PART-M The minimum age to apply for an PART-66 licence is 18 years old. This aligns with ICAO Annex 1. The scope of B1 and B2 licence holders includes now line and base maintenance. This is due to the fact that PART-M requires all maintenance (including based maintenance) to be released to service by B1 and B2 certifying staff. It should be noted that for large aircraft PART-145 still limits the scope of B1 and B2 certifying staff to line maintenance. Continuing experience requirements are introduced. This is based upon ICAO Annex 1 requirements and makes the PART-66 licence ICAO compliant. Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003

38 Page 38 Detailed explanation of main differences to JAR-66 “Protected rights” are now covered in PART-66.A.70 (conversion provisions) PART-66.A.1 defines the licence categories/sub-categories PART-66.A.30 includes reduced experience requirements for Subcategories B1.2 and B1.4. The experience required to add a category C to a subcategory B1.2 or B1.4 is increased to 5 years. PART-66.A.30 new sub-paragraph is introduced which specifies the experience requirements to add a Category or subcategory to an existing category. The detailed requirement is included in Appendix IV to PART-66. Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003

40 Page 40 Detailed explanation of main differences to JAR-66 PART-66.45 new sub-paragraph is introduced which specifies the type training requirements. The detailed requirement is included in Appendix III to PART-66. Appendix III “Type training and examination standard”. This Appendix is based on ATA Specification 104 and TGL40. Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003

41 Page 41 Detailed explanation of main differences to JAR-66 PART-66.45 new sub-paragraph is introduced which allows group ratings instead of type ratings for light aircraft. Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003 Category B1 or C helicopter piston engine helicopter turbine engine aeroplane single piston engine – metal structure aeroplane multiple piston engine – metal structure aeroplane single piston engine – wooden structure aeroplane multiple piston engine – wooden structure aeroplane single piston engine – composite structure aeroplane multiple piston engine – composite structure aeroplane turbine – single engine aeroplane turbine – multiple engine Category B2 or C aeroplane helicopter

42 Page 42 Detailed explanation of main differences to JAR-66 Manufacturer group ratings may be granted after complying with the type rating requirements of two aircraft types representative of the group from the same manufacturer. Full group ratings may be granted after complying with the type rating requirements of three aircraft types representative of the group from different manufacturers. However, no full group rating may be granted to B1 multiple turbine engine aeroplanes, where only manufacturer group rating applies. Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003

43 Page 43 Detailed explanation of main differences to JAR-66 PART-66.45 new sub-paragraph is introduced to allow type examination instead of type training for light aircraft. The type examination standard is defined in Appendix III “Type training and examination standard”. Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003

44 Page 44 Detailed explanation of main differences to JAR-66 PART-66.75 New paragraph for certifying staff of aircraft other that aeroplanes and helicopters. It refers to the existing Member States national requirements. PART-66.80 New paragraph for certifying staff of component. It refers to the existing Member States national requirements. Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003

45 Page 45 Detailed explanation of main differences to JAR-66 Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003 PART-66.B.135 New paragraph based upon Chapter 25 – conversion report - National Standard versus PART-66 standard PART-66.B.150 New paragraph based upon Chapter 25 – examination credit report – National Standard versus PART- 66 Syllabus

46 Page 46 Detailed explanation of main differences to JAR-66 Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003 Appendix I to PART-66 Basic Knowledge Requirements Module 5 Digital Techniques - is simplified for subcategories B1.2 and B1.4. New Module 11b: Piston Aeroplane Aerodynamics, Structures. Based upon former Module 11 but simplified to cater for piston engine aircraft technology. Applicable to Subcategories A2 and B1.2 only. Module 16: Piston Engine, New - Diesel engine operating principles. New paragraph 16.4.3 deals with Electronic Engine Control (FADEC) - piston engine.

47 Page 47 Detailed explanation of main differences to JAR-66 Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003 Appendix II to PART-66 Basic Examination Standard New Appendix based upon Chapter 23 Appendix III to PART-66 Definitions of type training levels (ATA Spec. 104). Type training standard based upon TGL40. Type training examination standard based upon TGL 40. Examination standard for light aircraft exempted from type training.

48 Page 48 Detailed explanation of main differences to JAR-66 Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003 Appendix IV to PART-66 Experience Requirements New Appendix based upon TGL 30, but revised due to the change of experience requirement for Category B1.2 and B1.4. Appendix V to PART-66 Application Form (EASA Form 19) Licence Form (EASA Form 26) - The page entitled ‘conditions’ has been changed to reflect the use of the PART-66 licence in non commercial air transportation (PART-M).

49 Page 49 Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003 Implementing Rule PART-147

50 Page 50 The basis for PART-147 PART-147 is based upon JAR-147 Amendment 1 dated 1 July 2002 Issue 1 dated 3 April 1998. Minor changes were introduced subsequent to the PART-66 changes arising from the extension of the rule to cover ‘light aircraft’. This code has been completed to include aeroplane and helicopters with a maximum take-off mass below 5700kg. Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003

51 Page 51 Changes in PART-147 - light aircraft The extension of PART-66 to cover ‘light aircraft’ induced the following changes in PART-147: The approved basic training course duration for subcategory B1.2 has been reduced to 2000 hours. The approved basic training course duration for subcategory A2 has been reduced to 650 hours. Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003

52 Page 52 Changes in PART-147 - light aircraft Appendix I to PART-147 – Basic Training Course Duration Minimum Duration of complete basic courses Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003 Basic CourseDuration in hoursTheoretical training ratio in % A180030 to 35 A265030 to 35 A380030 to 35 A480030 to 35 B1.1240050 to 60 B1.2200050 to 60 B1.3240050 to 60 B1.4240050 to 60 B2240050 to 60

53 Page 53 Changes in PART-147 - light aircraft Appendix II to PART-147 Approval Certificate (EASA Form 11) is based on Appendix 1 to JAR-147 Appendix III to PART-147 Certificate of Recognition is based upon Appendix 3 to JAR-147. Symposium Maintenance Requirements, Vienna 23 October 2003
