Does the training required by AMC M.B.902(b)(1) need to be conducted internally or can it be external?

The training can be internal or external, as long as it is supported by evidence on the specified subjects.

For aircraft other than those used by licensed air carriers, what is the MTOM threshold above which the formal aeronautical maintenance training definition applies?

For any other aircraft, other than balloons, the threshold is above 2 730 kg MTOM.

Are balloons included in the scope of aircraft for which formal aeronautical maintenance training is defined in AMC M.B.902(b)(1)?

No, balloons are explicitly excluded from the definition for aircraft other than those used by air carriers licensed under Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008.

What is the regulatory basis for the definition of formal aeronautical maintenance training in AMC M.B.902(b)(1)?

The definition is provided in AMC M.B.902(b)(1) under ED Decision 2016/011/R.

AMC M.B.902(b)(1) Airworthiness review by the competent authority

Q: Which aircraft are covered by the definition of formal aeronautical maintenance training in AMC M.B.902(b)(1)?

The definition covers all aircraft used by air carriers licensed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 and any other aircraft, other than balloons, above 2 730 kg MTOM.

Q: What is the minimum level required for the formalised training course on aircraft types under AMC M.B.902(b)(1)?

The formalised training courses should be at least at a level equivalent to Part-66 Appendix III Level 1 General Familiarisation.

Q: What subjects must be covered by the evidence supporting formal aeronautical maintenance training under AMC M.B.902(b)(1)?

The evidence must cover: relevant parts of continuing airworthiness regulations; relevant parts of operational requirements and procedures, if applicable; knowledge of the internal procedures for continuing airworthiness; and knowledge of a relevant sample of the type(s) of aircraft gained through a formalised training course.

Q: How does the 'relevant sample' of aircraft types relate to the scope of approval?

The 'relevant sample' means that the training courses should cover typical systems embodied in those aircraft that are within the scope of approval.

- Relevant parts of continuing airworthiness regulations.

- Relevant parts of operational requirements and procedures, if applicable.

- Knowledge of the internal procedures for continuing airworthiness.

- Knowledge of a relevant sample of the type(s) of aircraft gained through a formalised training course. These courses should be at least at a level equivalent to Part-66 Appendix III Level 1 General Familiarisation.
