Sistema ta' Klassijiet u Valutazzjonijiet li għandha tintuża għall-Approvazzjoni tal-Organizzazzjonijiet tal-Manutenzjoni msemmija fl-Anness I (Parti-M) Sottoparti F u fl-Anness II (Parti-145)
1. Ħlief jekk iddikjarat mod ieħor għall-iżgħar organizzazzjonijiet fil-paragrafu 12, it-tabella msemmija fil-punt 13 tipprovdi s-sistema standard għall-approvazzjoni tal-organizzazjoni tal-manutenzjoni taħt is-Sottoparti F (Parti-M) u l-Anness II (Parti-145) Organizzazzjoni għandha tingħata approvazzjoni fuq medda minn klassi u valutazzjoni unika b'limitazzjonijiet sal-klassijiet u l-valutazzjonijiet kollha b'limitazzjonijiet.
2. Minbarra t-tabella msemmija fil-punt 13, l-organizzazzjoni approvata tal-manutenzjoni meħtieġa tindika l-ambitu ta' xogħolha fil-manwal/preżentazzjoni tagħha tal-organizzazzjoni tal-manutenzjoni. Ara wkoll il-paragrafu 11
3. Fi ħdan il-klassi(jiet) u l-valutazzjoni(jiet) mogħtija mill-awtorità kompetenti, l-ambitu tax-xogħol speċifikat fil-preżentazzjoni tal-organizzazzjoni tal-manutenzjoni jiddefinixxi l-limiti eżatti tal-approvazzjoni. Huwa għalhekk essezjali li l-klassi(jiet) u l-valutazzjoni(jiet) tal-approvazzjoni u l-ambitu tax-xogħol tal-organizzazzjonijiet ikunu jaqblu.
4. Valutazzjoni ta' klassi A tfisser li l-organizzazzjoni tal-manutenzjoni approvata tista' twettaq manutenzjoni fuq inġenji tal-ajru u kull komponent (inklużi magni u/jew ġeneratur awżiljari (APUs)) skont id-dejta tal-manutenzjoni tal-inġenju tal-ajru jew, bi qbil mal-awtorità kompetenti, skont id-dejta tal-manutenzjoni tal-komponenti, biss sakemm dawn il-komponenti jkunu mmuntati fuq l-inġenju tal-ajru. Madankollu, din l-organizzazzjoni tal-manutenzjoni approvata vvalutata b'A tista' temporanjament tneħħi komponent għall-manutenzjoni, biex ittejjeb l-aċċess għal dak il-komponent, ħlief meta din it-tneħħija tiġġenera l-ħtieġa għal manutenzjoni addizzjonali li ma tkunx eliġibbli għad-dispożizzjonijiet ta' dan il-paragrafu. Dan se jkun suġġett għal proċedura ta' kontroll fil-preżentazzjoni tal-organizzazzjoni tal-manutenzjoni li għandha tiġi approvata mill-awtorità kompetenti. It-taqsima tal-limitazzjoni se tispeċifika l-ambitu tal-applikazzjoni ta' din il-manutenzjoni biex b'hekk tindika l-firxa tal-approvazzjoni.
5. Valutazzjoni ta' klassi B tfisser li organizzazzjoni tal-manutenzjoni approvata tista' twettaq manutenzjoni fuq magni u/jew APU u komponenti tal-magna/APU mhux installati, skont id-dejta tal-manutenzjoni tal-magna/APU jew, bi qbil mal-awtorità kompetenti, skont id-dejta tal-manutenzjoni tal-komponenti, biss sakemm dawn il-komponenti jkunu mmuntati mal-magni u/jew l-APU. Madankollu, din l-organizzazzjoni tal-manutenzjoni approvata kklassifikata B tista' temporanjament tneħħi komponent għall-manutenzjoni, biex ittejjeb l-aċċess għal dak il-komponent, ħlief meta din it-tneħħija tiġġenera l-ħtieġa għal manutenzjoni addizzjonali li ma tkunx eliġibbli għad-dispożizzjonijiet ta' dan il-paragrafu. It-taqsima tal-limitazzjoni se tispeċifika l-ambitu tal-applikazzjoni ta' din il-manutenzjoni biex b'hekk tindika l-firxa tal-approvazzjoni. Organizzazzjoni tal-manutenzjoni approvata kklassifikata f'kategorija B tista' wkoll twettaq manutenzjoni fuq magna installata waqt manutenzjoni tal-“bażi” u tal-“linja” suġġetta għal proċedura ta' kontroll fl-espożizzjoni tal-organizzazzjoni ta' manutenzjoni li għandha tiġi approvata mill-awtorità kompetenti. L-ambitu tal-applikazzjoni tax-xogħol tal-espożizzjoni tal-organizzazzjoni ta' manutenzjoni għandu jirrifletti din l-attività fejn dan ikun permess mill-awtorità kompetenti.
6. Valutazzjoni ta' klassi C tfisser li l-organizzazzjoni approvata tal-manutenzjoni tista' twettaq manutenzjoni fuq komponenti mhux installati (esklużi magni u APUs) maħsuba għall-immuntar fuq l-inġenju tal-ajru jew il-magna/APU. It-taqsima tal-limitazzjoni se tispeċifika l-ambitu tal-applikazzjoni ta' din il-manutenzjoni biex b'hekk tindika l-firxa tal-approvazzjoni. Organizzazzjoni tal-manutenzjoni kklassifikata f'kategorija C tista' wkoll twettaq manutenzjoni fuq komponent installat waqt manutenzjoni tal-“bażi” u tal-“linja” jew f'faċilità tal-manutenzjoni ta' magna/APU suġġetta għal proċedura ta' kontroll fl-espożizzjoni tal-organizzazzjoni ta' manutenzjoni li għandha tiġi approvata mill-awtorità kompetenti. L-ambitu tal-applikazzjoni tax-xogħol tal-espożizzjoni tal-organizzazzjoni ta' manutenzjoni għandu jirrifletti din l-attività fejn dan ikun permess mill-awtorità kompetenti.
7. Valutazzjoni ta' klassi D hija klassi għaliha mhux neċessarjament marbuta ma' inġenju tal-ajru, magna jew komponent speċifiku. Il-klassifikazzjoni D1 - Non Destructive Testing (NDT) hija biss meħtieġa għal organizzazzjoni approvata tal-manutenzjoni li twettaq NDT bħala kompitu partikolari għal organizzazzjoni oħra. Organizzazzjoni tal-manutenzjoni approvata b'valutazzjoni ta' kategorija ta' A jew B jew C tista' twettaq NDT fuq prodotti li tkun qed tagħmlilhom suġġett għall-preżentazzjoni tal-organizzazzjoni tal-manutenzjoni li jkun fiha proċeduri NDT, mingħajr il-ħtieġa ta' valutazzjoni ta' kategorija D1.
8. Fil-każ ta' organizzazzjonijiet tal-manutenzjoni approvati skont l-Anness II (Parti-145), valutazzjonijiet ta' klassi A jinqasmu f'manutenzjoni “Bażi” jew “Linja”. Organizzazzjoni bħal din tista' tiġi approvata għal manutenzjoni “Bażi” jew “Linja” jew għat-tnejn. Ta' min jinnota li faċilità “Linja” misjuba fuq faċilità ewlenija ta' bażi teħtieġ approvazzjoni tal-manutenzjoni “Linja”.
9. Is-sezzjoni tal-limitazzjoni maħsuba biex tagħti lill-awtoritajiet kompetenti l-flessibbiltà li jadattaw l-approvazzjoni għal kwalunkwe organizzazjoni partikolari. Il-valutazzjonijiet għandhom jissemmew fuq l-approvazzjoni biss meta jkunu limitati kif xieraq. It-tabella msemmija fil-punt 13 tispeċifika t-tip ta' limitazzjoni possibbli. Filwaqt l-manutenzjoni hija elenkata l-aħħar f'kull valutazzjoni ta' klassi, huwa aċċettabbli li wieħed jisħaq dwar il-kompitu ta' manutenzjoni aktar milli l-inġenju tal-ajru jew it-tip ta' magna jew il-manifattur, jekk dan huwa aktar xieraq għall-organizzazzjoni (eżempju jista' jkun installazzjonijiet ta' sistemi avjoniċi u manutenzjoni relatata).

L-organizzazzjoni għandha tispeċifika fil-preżentazzjoni tagħha l-ambitu tax-xogħol meqjus li jikkostitwixxi approvazzjoni (l-Appendiċi IV tal-Anness I (Parti-M) fih tabella bil-klassijiet u l-kategoriji kollha).
145.A.25 Facility requirements
The organisation shall ensure that:
(a)
1. For base maintenance of aircraft, aircraft hangars are both available and large enough to accommodate aircraft on planned base maintenance;
2. For component maintenance, component workshops are large enough to accommodate the components on planned maintenance.
(b) Office accommodation is provided for the management of the planned work referred to in paragraph (a), and certifying staff so that they can carry out their designated tasks in a manner that contributes to good aircraft maintenance standards.
(c) The working environment including aircraft hangars, component workshops and office accommodation is appropriate for the task carried out and in particular special requirements observed. Unless otherwise dictated by the particular task environment, the working environment must be such that the effectiveness of personnel is not impaired:
1. temperatures must be maintained such that personnel can carry out required tasks without undue discomfort.
2. dust and any other airborne contamination are kept to a minimum and not be permitted to reach a level in the work task area where visible aircraft/component surface contamination is evident. Where dust/other airborne contamination results in visible surface contamination, all susceptible systems are sealed until acceptable conditions are re-established.
3. lighting is such as to ensure each inspection and maintenance task can be carried out in an effective manner.
4. noise shall not distract personnel from carrying out inspection tasks. Where it is impractical to control the noise source, such personnel are provided with the necessary personal equipment to stop excessive noise causing distraction during inspection tasks.
5. where a particular maintenance task requires the application of specific environmental conditions different to the foregoing, then such conditions are observed. Specific conditions are identified in the maintenance data.
6. the working environment for line maintenance is such that the particular maintenance or inspection task can be carried out without undue distraction. Therefore where the working environment deteriorates to an unacceptable level in respect of temperature, moisture, hail, ice, snow, wind, light, dust/other airborne contamination, the particular maintenance or inspection tasks must be suspended until satisfactory conditions are re-established.
(d) Secure storage facilities are provided for components, equipment, tools and material. Storage conditions ensure segregation of serviceable components and material from unserviceable aircraft components, material, equipment and tools. The conditions of storage are in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions to prevent deterioration and damage of stored items.

After the first type course for category C certifying staff all subsequent courses need only be to level 1.
During a level 3 theoretical training, level 1 and 2 training material may be used to teach the full scope of the chapter if required. However, during the training the majority of the course material and training time shall be at the higher level.
(c) Duration:
The theoretical training minimum tuition hours are contained in the following table:

(1) For non-pressurised piston engine aeroplanes below 2 000 kg MTOM the minimum duration can be reduced by 50 %. (2) For helicopters in group 2 (as defined in point 66.A.42) the minimum duration can be reduced by 30 %. |
|
For the purpose of the table above, a tuition hour means 60 minutes of teaching and exclude any breaks, examination, revision, preparation and aircraft visit.
These hours apply only to theoretical courses for complete aircraft/engine combinations according to the type rating as defined by the Agency.
(d) Justification of course duration:
Training courses carried out in a maintenance training organisation approved in accordance with Annex IV (Part-147) and courses directly approved by the competent authority shall justify their hour duration and the coverage of the full syllabus by a training needs analysis based on:
— the design of the aircraft type, its maintenance needs and the types of operation,
— detailed analysis of applicable chapters — see contents table in point 3.1(e) below,
— detailed competency analysis showing that the objectives as stated in point 3.1(a) above are fully met.
Where the training needs analysis shows that more hours are needed, course lengths shall be longer than the minimum specified in the table.
Similarly, tuition hours of differences courses or other training course combinations (such as combined B1/B2 courses), and in cases of theoretical type training courses below the figures given in point 3.1(c) above, these shall be justified to the competent authority by the training needs analysis as described above.
In addition, the course must describe and justify the following:
— The minimum attendance required to the trainee, in order to meet the objectives of the course.
— The maximum number of hours of training per day, taking into account pedagogical and human factors principles.
If the minimum attendance required is not met, the certificate of recognition shall not be issued. Additional training may be provided by the training organisation in order to meet the minimum attendance time.
(e) Content:
As a minimum, the elements in the Syllabus below that are specific to the aircraft type shall be covered. Additional elements introduced due to type variations, technological changes, etc. shall also be included.
The training syllabus shall be focused on mechanical and electrical aspects for B1 personnel, and electrical and avionic aspects for B2.

(f) Multimedia Based Training (MBT) methods may be used to satisfy the theoretical training element either in the classroom or in a virtual controlled environment subject to the acceptance of the competent authority approving the training course.
3.2. Practical element
(a) Objective:
The objective of practical training is to gain the required competence in performing safe maintenance, inspections and routine work according to the maintenance manual and other relevant instructions and tasks as appropriate for the type of aircraft, for example troubleshooting, repairs, adjustments, replacements, rigging and functional checks. It includes the awareness of the use of all technical literature and documentation for the aircraft, the use of specialist/special tooling and test equipment for performing removal and replacement of components and modules unique to type, including any on-wing maintenance activity.
(b) Content:
At least 50 % of the crossed items in the table below, which are relevant to the particular aircraft type, shall be completed as part of the practical training.
Tasks crossed represent subjects that are important for practical training purposes to ensure that the operation, function, installation and safety significance of key maintenance tasks is adequately addressed; particularly where these cannot be fully explained by theoretical training alone. Although the list details the minimum practical training subjects, other items may be added where applicable to the particular aircraft type.
Tasks to be completed shall be representative of the aircraft and systems both in complexity and in the technical input required to complete that task. While relatively simple tasks may be included, other more complex tasks shall also be incorporated and undertaken as appropriate to the aircraft type.
Glossary of the table: LOC: Location; FOT: Functional/Operational Test; SGH: Service and Ground Handling; R/I: Removal/Installation; MEL: Minimum Equipment List; TS: TroubleShooting.

4. Type training examination and assessment standard
4.1. Theoretical element examination standard
After the theoretical portion of the aircraft type training has been completed, a written examination shall be performed, which shall comply with the following:
(a) Format of the examination is of the multi-choice type. Each multi-choice question shall have 3 alternative answers of which only one shall be the correct answer. The total time is based on the total number of questions and the time for answering is based upon a nominal average of 90 seconds per question.
(b) The incorrect alternatives shall seem equally plausible to anyone ignorant of the subject. All the alternatives shall be clearly related to the question and of similar vocabulary, grammatical construction and length.
(c) In numerical questions, the incorrect answers shall correspond to procedural errors such as the use of incorrect sense (+ versus -) or incorrect measurement units. They shall not be mere random numbers.
(d) The level of examination for each chapter ( 6 ) shall be the one defined in point 2 “Aircraft type training levels”. However, the use of a limited number of questions at a lower level is acceptable.
(e) The examination shall be of the closed book type. No reference material is permitted. An exception will be made for the case of examining a B1 or B2 candidate’s ability to interpret technical documents.
(f) The number of questions shall be at least 1 question per hour of instruction. The number of questions for each chapter and level shall be proportionate to:
— the effective training hours spent teaching at that chapter and level,
— the learning objectives as given by the training needs analysis.
The competent authority of the Member State will assess the number and the level of the questions when approving the course.
(g) The minimum examination pass mark is 75 %. When the type training examination is split in several examinations, each examination shall be passed with at least a 75 % mark. In order to be possible to achieve exactly a 75 % pass mark, the number of questions in the examination shall be a multiple of 4.
(h) Penalty marking (negative points for failed questions) is not to be used.
(i) End of module phase examinations cannot be used as part of the final examination unless they contain the correct number and level of questions required.
4.2. Practical element assessment standard
After the practical element of the aircraft type training has been completed, an assessment must be performed, which must comply with the following:
(a) The assessment shall be performed by designated assessors appropriately qualified.
(b) The assessment shall evaluate the knowledge and skills of the trainee.
5. Type examination standard
Type examination shall be conducted by training organisations appropriately approved under Part-147 or by the competent authority.
The examination shall be oral, written or practical assessment based, or a combination thereof and it shall comply with the following requirements:
(a) Oral examination questions shall be open.
(b) Written examination questions shall be essay type or multi-choice questions.
(c) Practical assessment shall determine a person’s competence to perform a task.
(d) Examinations shall be on a sample of chapters ( 7 ) drawn from paragraph 3 type training/examination syllabus, at the indicated level.
(e) The incorrect alternatives shall seem equally plausible to anyone ignorant of the subject. All of the alternatives shall be clearly related to the question and of similar vocabulary, grammatical construction and length.
(f) In numerical questions, the incorrect answers shall correspond to procedural errors such as corrections applied in the wrong sense or incorrect unit conversions: they shall not be mere random numbers.
(g) The examination shall ensure that the following objectives are met:
1. Properly discuss with confidence the aircraft and its systems.
2. Ensure safe performance of maintenance, inspections and routine work according to the maintenance manual and other relevant instructions and tasks as appropriate for the type of aircraft, for example troubleshooting, repairs, adjustments, replacements, rigging and functional checks such as engine run, etc., if required.
3. Correctly use all technical literature and documentation for the aircraft.
4. Correctly use specialist/special tooling and test equipment, perform removal and replacement of components and modules unique to type, including any on-wing maintenance activity
(h) The following conditions apply to the examination:
1. The maximum number of consecutive attempts is three. Further sets of three attempts are allowed with a 1 year waiting period between sets. A waiting period of 30 days is required after the first failed attempt within one set, and a waiting period of 60 days is required after the second failed attempt.
The applicant shall confirm in writing to the maintenance training organisation or the competent authority to which they apply for an examination, the number and dates of attempts during the last year and the maintenance training organisation or the competent authority where these attempts took place. The maintenance training organisation or the competent authority is responsible for checking the number of attempts within the applicable timeframes.
2. The type examination shall be passed and the required practical experience shall be completed within the 3 years preceding the application for the rating endorsement on the aircraft maintenance licence.
3. Type examination shall be performed with at least one examiner present. The examiner(s) shall not have been involved in the applicant’s training.
(i) A written and signed report shall be made by the examiner(s) to explain why the candidate has passed or failed.
6. On the Job Training
On the Job Training (OJT) shall be approved by the competent authority who has issued the licence.
It shall be conducted at and under the control of a maintenance organisation appropriately approved for the maintenance of the particular aircraft type and shall be assessed by designated assessors appropriately qualified.
It shall have been started and completed within the 3 years preceding the application for a type rating endorsement.
(a) Objective:
The objective of OJT is to gain the required competence and experience in performing safe maintenance.
(b) Content:
OJT shall cover a cross section of tasks acceptable to the competent authority. The OJT tasks to be completed shall be representative of the aircraft and systems both in complexity and in the technical input required to complete that task. While relatively simple tasks may be included, other more complex maintenance tasks shall also be incorporated and undertaken as appropriate to the aircraft type.
Each task shall be signed off by the student and countersigned by a designated supervisor. The tasks listed shall refer to an actual job card/work sheet, etc.
The final assessment of the completed OJT is mandatory and shall be performed by a designated assessor appropriately qualified.
The following data shall be addressed on the OJT worksheets/logbook:
1. Name of Trainee;
2. Date of Birth;
3. Approved Maintenance Organisation;
4. Location;
5. Name of supervisor(s) and assessor, (including licence number if applicable);
6. Date of task completion;
7. Description of task and job card/work order/tech log, etc.;
8. Aircraft type and aircraft registration;
9. Aircraft rating applied for.
In order to facilitate the verification by the competent authority, demonstration of the OJT shall consist of (i) detailed worksheets/logbook and (ii) a compliance report demonstrating how the OJT meets the requirement of this Part.
Appendix IV
Experience requirements for extending a Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence

7. The preparation of any change to an existing aircraft maintenance licence may be carried out (i) by the competent authority of the Member State or (ii) any maintenance organisation approved in accordance with Annex II (Part-145) if the competent authority agrees so and subject to a procedure developed as part of the maintenance organisation exposition referred to in point 145.A.70 of Annex II (Part-145), except that in all cases the competent authority of the Member State will change the document.
8. The aircraft maintenance licence once issued is required to be kept by the person to whom it applies in good condition and who shall remain accountable for ensuring that no unauthorised entries are made.
9. Failure to comply with paragraph 8 may invalidate the document and could lead to the holder not being permitted to hold any certification privilege and may result in prosecution under national law.
10. The aircraft maintenance licence delivered in accordance with Annex III (Part-66) is recognised in all Member States and it is not necessary to exchange the document when working in another Member State.
11. The annex to EASA Form 26 is optional and may only be used to include national privileges, where such privileges are covered by the national regulation outside the scope of Annex III (Part-66).
12. For information the actual Annex III (Part-66) aircraft maintenance licence issued by the competent authority of the Member State may have the pages in a different order and may not have the divider lines.
13. With regard to the aircraft type rating page the competent authority of the Member State may choose not to issue this page until the first aircraft type rating needs to be endorsed and will need to issue more than one aircraft type rating page when there are a number to be listed.
14. Notwithstanding 13, each page issued will be in this format and contain the specified information for that page.
15. The licence shall clearly indicate that the limitations are exclusions from the certification privileges. If there are no limitations applicable, the LIMITATIONS page will be issued stating “No limitations”.
16. Where a pre-printed format is used, any category, subcategory or type rating box which does not contain a rating entry shall be marked to show that the rating is not held.
