This slide shows where the continuing airworthiness regulations fit into the overall Australian Aviation Regulatory Scheme.
It shows the relationships between the various CASR Parts and the insert focuses on the airworthiness CASR Parts 42, 145, 66 and 147.
Part 42 Part 42 -- Policy OverviewPolicy Overview
• Maintenance of all aircraft used for RPT must be carried out by a Part 145 Approved Maintenance Organisation (AMO)
• RPT operators must have a CAMO that is integral to their AOC

Airworthiness
Regulation 42.010 and 202.180 restrict the application of Part 42 and 145 to registeredaircraft authorised to be operated under an Air Operator’s Certificate that is for Regular Public Transport [paragraph 206 (1) (c) of the CAR 1988].
The Part 145 AMO performs the maintenance, whereas the Part 42 CAMO manages the maintenance of the AOCs aircraft.
Parts 42 and 145 only apply to RPT aircraft. Other aircraft are maintained under existing CAR 30 requirements.

Airworthiness
Instructions for continuing airworthiness (ICA) are the written instructions that specify requirements, procedures and standards for continuing airworthiness. Maintenance data is a subset of ICA.
Maintenance certifications must be performed for a maintenance task on an aircraft. The
CRS is issued before an aircraft or aeronautical product is released back to service.

Part 145 Part 145 -- Approved Maintenance Approved Maintenance OrganisationsOrganisations
• Introduction of safety management systems
• Introduction of human factors integral to the organisation’s processes and procedures
145
Key differences between the regulated requirements for the new Part 145 approvals to the previous CAR30 approvals, for providing aircraft maintenance services, are safety management systems and the need to provide human factors training.

Part 147 Part 147 -- Approved Maintenance Approved Maintenance Training OrganisationsTraining Organisations
• Part 147 establishes the requirements organisations must meet for approval to conduct Part 66 training & assessment
• Deliver competency-based training for the issue of Part 66 licences
• Type rating training containing theory and practical
147
The current CAR30 approvals for maintenance training organisations (MTO) only apply to type rating training. Basic licence training does not require formalised training. Candidates must pass basic examinations conducted by CASA and accumulate experience which is logged in a schedule of experience that is assessed by CASA.
Under the new regulations, CASA approves Part 147 MTOs to deliver basic training that complies with the Australian Qualification Training Framework (AQTF). The requirements are prescribed in the Part 66 Manual of Standards (MOS).
AQTF training is competency-based training and the training is described in the Aeroskills Training Package.
MTOs holding a CAO 100.66 approval to conduct training for CAO 100.66 airworthiness authorities will automatically receive a Part 147 certificate that covers the same training approved under CAO 100.66.
CAR30 MTOs can continue delivering training for CAR 31 licensing outcomes up to 26 June 2013. After that, training under CAR30 will no longer be accepted. Those organisations will have to transition to become a Part 147 MTO.
CASA will be working with CAR30 MTOs to transition into Part 147 MTOs.
A Part 147 MTO can continue to deliver courses approved under CAR30 for legacy type ratings only.
Part 66 Part 66 –– overviewoverview
• Introduces category A, B1, B2 and C licences
• Competency-based training underpins licence categories
• Licence is perpetual
• Recent experience or competency assessment required to exercise privileges
66AME
Licensing
The Part 66 licence structure is based on the EASA licensing structure. Note there is no B3 licence that was proposed earlier. A basic category licence covers maintenance for all aircraft that are not covered by the large aircraft definition – this will be described in a later slide. If an aircraft is not listed in the list of aircraft type ratings in the Part 66 MOS, it can be maintained by the licence holder without holding any type ratings. This is consistent with the CAR31 system.
Training for Part 66 licences is competency-based whereas the CAR 31 system requires basic knowledge examinations and a schedule of experience.
CAR31 licences are issued for a 2 year period. If a licence is not renewed, it becomes invalid.
Under Part 66, licences remain valid for the life of the licence holder. Using a licence is dependent on the holder meeting the recent experience or qualification requirements specified in regulation 66.120.
Recent experience is an ICAO requirement. LAMEs must, within the preceding 24 months, have had experience in the inspection, servicing or maintenance of an aircraft or components for not less than six months, or have met the provision for the issue of a licence.
Details on the recent experience or qualification standard are in regulation 66.120 and section 66.A.20(2) of MOS Part 66. Also refer to AMC CASR 66.120

Comparison Comparison –– CAR 31 & Part 66CAR 31 & Part 6666AME
Licensing
The table shows the CAR31 licence categories and the Part 66 licence systems. It shows how the CAR 31
categories relate to the systems in Part 66 and how they are grouped into the licence categories B1 and B2.
The B1 covers mechanical, structures, powerplant and electrical systems and avionic line replaceable units.
The B2 category covers electrical and avionics systems.
Under CAR31, a person could hold a licence in only one category. Additional categories can be obtained
later by passing more basic examinations and gaining more experience.
Under Part 66, a person qualifies for a basic licence – either an A, B1, B2 or C licence.
If a CAR31 licence holder has an airframe category, that person will qualify for a B1 licence under Part 66.
If a CAR 31 licence holder has an Instruments category, that person will qualify for both B1 and B2 licences
under Part 66.
Under Part 66, a person qualifying for the first time (not using the CAR31 licensing system) will need to
cover Mechanical/Structures, Powerplant and Electrical aspects.
If a person qualifies for a B1 licence based on an airframe category CAR31 licence, that person will gain the
B1 licence. That LAME is not qualified under CAR 31 in the Engine category. Therefore, that LAME’s
licence has to be restricted to only cover airframe privileges. This is achieved by using exclusions – see
later slide.
Refer to Subpart D of Part 66. In particular refer to regulations 66.130 through to 66.140 for the privileges of
each licence and to section 66.A.20 of the Part 66 MOS for the details of the systems and sub systems
covered by each of the new Part 66 licences. Also refer to the definitions in the regulations and the MOS.
Particular attention should be given to the definition of each of the systems and the definition of sub system
and simple test.

Licensing
Subject to Table 1 (partial example above) of the Part 66 MOS and having a type rating if relevant, a person who holds a Category B1 or B2 licence may perform maintenance certification for that aircraft maintenance if the person carried out the subcategory maintenance; and
For a B1: the maintenance was on an aircraft system designated in Table 1, as structural, powerplant, mechanical or electrical; replacement of an avionic line replaceable unit that requires only simple tests to prove its serviceability; or line maintenance.
For a B2: the maintenance was on an aircraft system designated in Table 1, as electrical or avionic.
A and B1 subcategory licencesA and B1 subcategory licences
A1 and B1.1 = aeroplanes with turbine engines
A2 and B1.2 = aeroplanes with piston engines
A3 and B1.3 = helicopters with turbine engines
A4 and B1.4 = helicopters with piston engines
66AME
Licensing
Category A and B1 licences are broken into four subcategories as listed on this slide.
The subcategory licence covers the maintenance of all aeroplanes and helicopters that
are not prescribed as type rated aircraft. A list of type rated aircraft is in Advisory Circular
66-2.
Tasks for category A licence holderTasks for category A licence holder
• Minor scheduled line maintenance tasks listed in Part 145 MOS, such as:• minor maintenance• pre-flight, transit or overnight check• wheel change
• After appropriate task training, issue an aircraft certificate of release to service as part of minor scheduled line maintenance or simple defect rectification
Category A licence holders receive basic training under the Australian Qualification Training Framework. The basic training contains both theory and practical elements and are delivered and assessed as competency-based training.
In addition to basic training, category A licence holders receive aircraft type and task training that is provided by the Part 145 AMO they work for. Refer to section 145.A.30 of the Part 145 MOS.
Category A licence holders can only work in a Part 145 AMO. The tasks they perform are listed in Appendix II of the Part 145 MOS.
Category A licence Category A licence –– in the workplacein the workplace
• Supervision of work?
NO
• Issue of a CRS?
Only permitted for certifying A category line maintenance tasks
Cannot issue CRS if the maintenance was B1 or B2 level
A category A licence holder is only able to provide maintenance certifications for their own work.
The category A licence holder may provide Certificates of Release to service for an aircraft if only category A line maintenance was carried out and certified as part of the maintenance event.
While a category B1 or B2 LAME may supervise others carrying out maintenance, category A licence holders cannot. This is covered by regulation 66.130 of CASR Part 66.
The following are examples of a person providing assistance to a category A LAME - the LAME would not be supervising that person in these cases:
• helping move a wheel to the aircraft to be installed,
• holding the wheel stable while it is being installed
• handing the LAME tools or consumables during a job.
• The CASR Dictionary contains the following meaning of supervising:
• A person (the supervisor) is supervising the carrying out of maintenance done by another person if the supervisor:
• is physically present at the place that the maintenance is being carried out; and
• is observing the maintenance being carried out to the extent necessary to enable the supervisor to form an opinion as to whether the maintenance is being carried out properly; and
• is available to give advice to, and answer questions about the maintenance from, the person carrying it out.
Attend a CASR Part 147 Organisation (MTO) and be assessed as competent for the category A licence
Apply to CASA for a category A licence and demonstrate eligibility; then CASA issues licence
Undertake task training for the specific aircraft type. This may be done by a Part 147 MTO or Part 145 maintenance organisation
Be authorised by the Part 145 maintenance organisation for the tasks on the types which you have been trained

Category B1 licence privilegesCategory B1 licence privileges
This slide summarises the privileges of the category B1 licence. More information on the privileges are in regulation 66.135 and section 6.A.20 of the Part 66 MOS.
Definition of a ‘simple test’ on LRUs for correct functioning and serviceability consists of:
• an operational check (using aircraft controls, switches)
• using built-in test equipment (BITE)• using aircraft’s central maintenance computer
(CMC)
The outcome must be ‘go-no go’ indication, with no interpretation of test result
The test does not include multiple LRU changes in pursuit of system fault (unless FIM or maintenance procedure permits)

The privileges of this licence are in regulation 66.140. More detail is contained in . Also refer to MOS GM 66.A.30(a).
The normal method of qualifying for a category C licence is by first being a B1 or B2 licence holder. Refer to section 66.A.30(3) for the experience requirements.
Licence conversion processLicence conversion process
1. Automated program creates Part 66 licences based on CAR 31 licence details, but only current CAR 31 licenses converted
2. Existing privileges mapped to 66 licence and maintained by use of exclusions on the new licence
3. Draft licences sent to LAMEs for review
4. Discrepancy resolution: ends approximately 18 May
5. New Part 66 licences issued ~1 June
6. Part 66 licences effective – 27 June 2011
The transition arrangements involve creating new Part 66 licence records and adding the category, subcategory and ratings to the licence that match the CAR 31 and CAO 100.66 privileges. Where there are gaps between the Part 66 licence and the CAR 31 licence and/or CAO 100.66 airworthiness authority, exclusions, additional privileges and limitations will be applied. The aim is to align the old qualifications with the new Part 66 licence to ensure the LAME can perform the same scope of work under both systems.

This slide shows how the two systems interact throughout the transition period.
Transition arrangementsTransition arrangements
• CAR 31 licences and CAO 100.66 authorities: • convert to equivalent Part 66 licences • privileges maintained
• CASA exams & SOE – up to June 2015
• CAO 100.66 and CAR30 training organisations transition into Part 147 certificates – ending June 2013
The transition arrangements for Part 66 are simple:
1. CAR 31 licence and CAO 100.66 airworthiness authorities cease to be valid from 27 June 2011.
2. A person can take CAR 31 basic examinations and submit a SOE forlicensing purposes – when the information is provided as an application, CASA will make the assessment using the CAR 31 procedure and convert the licensing outcome into a Part 66 qualification.
3. Training organisations holding an approval under CAO 100.66 to deliver training will automatically qualify for a Part 147 certificate that covers the same training authorised by the CAO 100.66 permission. The transition period for other MTOs to become Part 147 MTOs ceases on 26 June 2013. Any new authorisations for training not covered by a CAR 30 certificate or CAO 100.66 approval need to be applied for in the usual way and fees will apply for the assessments and approvals.
The transition regulations for licensing are in Subpart 202.CG of the CASR.
Other transition regulations that relate to airworthiness are in Subpart 202.BA for continuing airworthiness requirements for aircraft and aeronautical products, Subpart 202.GE for the approved maintenance organisations, and subpart 202.GG for maintenance training organisations.
Refer also to the new sections of the CASR dictionary. For example the definition of specialist maintenance, aircraft engineer licence and type rated aircraft type.
Post June 2011 implementationPost June 2011 implementation
• Convert maintenance authorities in parallel with Part 145 transition
• If holder desires, during the CAR30 to CASR 145 conversion period, CASA will consider maintenance authority privileges for the purpose of removing exclusions on holders of Part 66 licences
When all CAR30 approvals to carry out aircraft maintenance have become CASR Part 145 approvals the need for maintenance authorities will no longer exist.
In the meantime, maintenance authorities for people working for an AMO that transitions to a Part 145 AMO will have their maintenance authorities reviewed and where necessary action taken by CASA to provide the right permissions to allow the work to be performed under the Part 145 AMO.
The intention is to transition these authorities in parallel to the transition of the AMO into Part 145.
What you need to doWhat you need to do
• Renew your licence before 20 May 2011 if it expires before 27 June 2011
• Discrepancy resolution forms submitted to CASA
• Make sure your address and contact details are up to date and correct –utilise your portal
CASA will issue new Part 66 licence in the first week of June 2011. If a LAME’s licence is
due to expire before 27 June and it has not been renewed at the time the licences are
issued, the LAME will not get a new Part 66 licence. That LAME needs to renew their
CAR 31 licence prior to 27 June in the usual way or pass an updated AA examination
after 27 June to be eligible for a Part 66 licence.
All discrepancy notices received by CASA will be processed. If the process takes place
after the new licences are issued, CASA will reissue a new corrected Part 66 licence as
soon as possible. CASA will communicate with the LAME.
