EASA Aircraft Licensing

EASA Aircraft Maintenance Licensing

Reading time: 5 min

To become a fully qualified aircraft maintenance engineer, you need to follow the route to acquiring an EASA-approved maintenance license.

Part-66’ is the common European legal framework for certifying Licensed Maintenance Aircraft Engineers in EASA member states. This licensing system includes three categories: A, B, and C. Category B is a standard license certification which further has two disciplines, B1(mechanics – engines, airframes etc.) and B2(avionics – instrumentation, electrical/ electronic equipment), which are most widely used for employment.

Roles and responsibilities

B1 licensed engineers

A B1 aircraft engineer is a specialist aircraft mechanic who plans and organizes maintenance checks in an aircraft. These checks are done when a problem is identified in an aircraft or during an airline’s routine maintenance schedule.

There are further classifications of B1 license;

B1.1 for turbine engine airplanes
B1.2 for piston engine airplanes
B1.3 for turbine engine helicopters
B1.4 for piston engine helicopters

B2 licensed engineers

A b2 licensed engineer works on the necessary repair and maintenance check related to the equipment and electrical systems of an aircraft.

Their work jurisdiction includes:

Instrument systems
Auto-land systems and Programmed pilot systems
Radio communication, radar systems, and navigation
Electric power generation to avionic system

How do I get a Licence?

Self-Starter Route:

To complete the self-starter route, you need to study for the EASA examinations associated with the category of licence you are seeking and then sit the exams at an EASA examination centre. For self-studying, there are many sources you can consult on the internet. To follow this route, you will need to gain five years of maintenance experience on the appropriate category of aircraft in addition to passing all of the examinations before you can apply for a licence.

The EASA Part-147 course route:

Part-147 approved courses are of two to three years duration. However, once you have completed the course, you only need to obtain three years’ maintenance experience before applying to the CAA for your B Licence. Another benefit of this route is that the EASA assessment will normally be part of the course and based on the material you are taught. Also, you will have higher chances of employment when trying to fill the necessary experience requirement since you have already finished an internationally accepted course.
