What do I need to obtain an aircraft type rating in my aircraft maintenance licence?

The requirements for obtaining an aircraft type rating depend on the aircraft group and the licence category.

For Group 1 aircraft, an aircraft type training course is required for endorsement of the aircraft type rating. The type training consists of theoretical and practical elements; the practical element is not required for category C.

For the endorsement of the first aircraft type rating within a given AML category or subcategory, except category C, On-the-Job Training (OJT) is also required in accordance with point 66.A.45(c) and Appendix III to Part-66.

For Group 2 and Group 3 aircraft, the aircraft type rating may be obtained by completing aircraft type training or, where permitted by point 66.A.45, through an Aircraft Type Evaluation. Reference: point 66.A.45, GM1 66.A.45 and Appendix III to Part-66.
