For aircraft above 5 700 kg MTOM, what is the date before which certifying staff qualifications must have been valid to be eligible for conversion under point 66.B.300?

28 September 2005, as per (EC) No 2042/2003, Article 7, point 3(e).

For aircraft of 5 700 kg MTOM and below, what is the date before which certifying staff qualifications must have been valid to be eligible for conversion under point 66.B.300?

28 September 2006, as per (EC) No 2042/2003, Article 7, point 3(f).

Why is the conversion eligibility date for B3 licences different from the dates for other certifying staff qualifications?

Because the B3 licence did not exist at the earlier dates (28 September 2005 and 28 September 2006); the B3 conversion eligibility date is 28 September 2012, when the authority became obliged to start issuing such licences.

ED Decision 2015/029/R

As described in point 66.B.300, certifying staff qualifications eligible for conversion are those valid ‘prior to the entry into force of the applicable requirements of this Annex (Part-66)’, which means those qualifications valid before the following dates:

- 28 September 2005 for aircraft above 5 700 kg MTOM (ref. (EC) No 2042/2003, Article 7, point 3(e));

- 28 September 2006 for aircraft of 5 700 kg MTOM and below (ref. (EC) No 2042/2003, Article 7, point 3(f)).

Nevertheless, since the B3 licence did not exist at those dates, certifying staff qualifications eligible for conversion to a B3 licence are those valid before 28 September 2012, which is the date where the authority has been obliged to start issuing such licences in accordance with (EC) No 2042/2003, Article 7, point 3(h), item (i).
