CHAPTER 2
CAR 66.A.70 provides for conversion of an existing valid Aircraft Maintenance Engineer’s
Licence into a CAR-66 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licence (CAR-66 AME licence). The
conversion process confers the privileges exercised by an AME Licence holder prior to the
introduction Of CAR-66.
Note: - As conversions performed on the basis of 66.A.70 (d) are aimed to maintain the
privileges of the pre-existing type ratings, the limitations introduced on the CAR-66
licence are not linked to possible differences between the scope of the AME licence
and the scope of the CAR-66 licence qualification. This conversion does not include
such comparison. This means that, in order to remove such limitations, full
compliance with the conditions of CAR-66 needs to be demonstrated
All Type rated AME Licences issued under CAR Series L are converted into either full or
restricted CAR-66 AME Licence depending upon the type ratings already endorsed on these
licences as detailed in Appendix B of this chapter.
Categories / Ratings held on the Series L Licences are transferred with or without limitation
under appropriate category or Section XIV (a) of the CAR-66 licence.
Endorsements of Type Ratings in existing “A”, “B”, ”D” and “X” Category of Licences covering
Gliders, Balloons, Aircraft, Engine, Propeller and items of equipment that are not covered by
CAR-66, are also transferred to Section XIV(a) of the “CAR-66 AME licence”. However, in
order to exercise the privileges to issue CRS, ratings would need to be transferred to Section
XII / XIII of AME licence in appropriate category.
Licences with open rating are converted with appropriate group rating provided the holder of
such licence produces suitable evidence of having exercised the licence privileges on various
aircraft types. Otherwise, the open rated AME licence will be converted to a CAR-66 licence
conferring the privileges exercised by the AME in the past on specific aircraft.
Endorsements of Type Ratings in respect of obsolete types of aircraft are recorded in Section
XIV (a) of CAR 66 Licence indicating that the holder had these Type Ratings endorsed in his
earlier Licence.
When satisfied that the applicant meets the requirements for conversion specified in CAR-66,
the DGCA, issue the CAR-66 aircraft maintenance engineer’s licence to the applicant. All
information pertaining to the application is retained on file in DGCA Headquarters,
Airworthiness Directorate. The applicant should review the CAR-66 aircraft maintenance
engineer’s licence on its receipt and raise any query or bring out anomaly if any noted relating

Note: A table covering the most common CAR Section L to CAR-66 licence conversion
scenarios can be found in Appendix B of this chapter.
Where an applicant does not meet the full requirements as in Appendix A (Table 1) or
Appendix B of this chapter, the converted Licence is issued with “Limitation(s)”. Limitations
may be applied singly or in combination. Endorsement of the ‘Limitation Code’ on a CAR-66
Converted Licence implies that, the holder is not authorized to exercise the privileges of the
licence on specific system denoted by the ‘Limitation Code’ of the particular type of aircraft.
The limitation codes and their translation are listed below:

activity. Further details on the Practical Training is provided in AMC to Paragraphs 1(b), 3.2
and 4.2 of Appendix III to CAR-66 “Aircraft Type Training and Examination Standard. On-the-
Job Training”
b) Content:
At least 50 % of the crossed items in the table below, which are relevant to the particular
aircraft type, should be completed as part of the practical training.
Tasks crossed represent subjects that are important for practical training purposes to ensure
that the operation, function, installation and safety significance of key maintenance tasks is
adequately addressed; particularly where these cannot be fully explained by theoretical
training alone. Although the list details the minimum practical training subjects, other items
may be added where applicable to the particular aircraft type.
Tasks to be completed should be representative of the aircraft and systems both in complexity
and in the technical input required to complete that task. While relatively simple tasks may be
included, other more complex tasks should also be incorporated and undertaken as
appropriate to the aircraft type.

GUIDANCE DOCUMENT
the total number of questions and the time for answering is based upon a nominal average
of 90 seconds per question.
(b) The incorrect alternatives seem equally plausible to anyone ignorant of the subject. All the
alternatives should be clearly related to the question and of similar vocabulary, grammatical
construction and length.
(c) In numerical questions, the incorrect answers correspond to procedural errors such as
the use of incorrect sense (+ versus -) or incorrect measurement units. They may not be
mere random numbers.
(d) The level of examination for each chapter (1) as defined in point 2 ‘Aircraft type training
levels’. However, the use of a limited number of questions at a lower level is acceptable.
(e) The examination is a closed book type. No reference material is permitted. An exception
will be made for the case of examining a B1 or B2 candidate's ability to interpret technical
documents.
(f) The number of questions is at least 1 question per hour of instruction. The number of
questions for each chapter and level are proportionate to:
— The effective training hours spent teaching at that chapter and level,
The number and the level of the questions when approving the course is assessed by
DGCA.
(g) The minimum examination pass mark is 75 %. When the type training examination is
split in several examinations, each examination is required to be passed with at least a 75
% mark. In order to be possible to achieve exactly a 75 % pass mark, the numbers of
questions in the examination are a multiple of 4.
(h) Penalty marking (negative points for failed questions) is not used.
(i) End of module phase examinations cannot be used as part of the final examination
unless they contain the correct number and level of questions required.
After the practical element of the aircraft type training has been completed, an assessment
must be performed, which must comply with the following:
(b) The assessment will evaluate the knowledge and skills of the trainee.

and it comply with the following requirements:
(d) Examinations will be on a sample of Chapters drawn from type training/ examination
syllabus, at the indicated level.
(e) The incorrect alternatives should seem equally plausible to anyone ignorant of the subject.
All of the alternatives are clearly related to the question and of similar vocabulary, grammatical
construction and length.
(f) In numerical questions, the incorrect answers correspond to procedural errors such as
corrections applied in the wrong sense or incorrect unit conversions: they should not be mere
random numbers.

CHAPTER 11
11.1 INTRODUCTION
CAR-147 specifies the requirements to be met by organizations seeking approval to conduct
type training and examination as specified in CAR 66.
Maintenance Training Organisations (MTO’s) may be approved to conduct type training courses
in accordance with the regulations of CAR-147 and CAR-66 syllabus.
Reserved.
Where a manufacturer provides training on their product, such as an engine type, that element
must be specifically aligned to the aircraft type for licence application. Aircraft type ratings are
listed in AMC CAR-66 Appendix I.
The organisation is required to have a quality system in place for both the management of the
training and the quality audit function to ensure compliance with the requirements. A key issue
is therefore the preparation of procedures to support the organisation’s activities. The topics to
be covered will vary according to the way in which the organisation structures itself. It is not
expected however that procedures covering unrelated activities would be included in the CAR-
147 procedures. The information should be concise, relevant and workable.
Under CAR-147 approval is issued for a maximum period of five years. The approval will remain
valid subject to the following:
