The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on January 20, 2024, notified regarding the Aircraft Type Ratings for the CAR-66 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer’s Licence.
The aircraft type ratings should be used to ensure a common standard throughout India.
The inclusion of an aircraft type in the licence does not indicate that the aircraft type has been granted a type certificate under the Aircraft Rule No. 49A and CAR-21, this list is only intended for maintenance purposes.
In the tables following has been stated:
• The column ‘TC Holder’ includes the TC holder as defined in the Type Certificate Data Sheets TCDS (EASA, FAA or other) or the specific airworthiness specifications (SAS).
• In Group 3, a third column has been added which is called ‘Type of structure’ and which intends to assist the DGCA in identifying the experience required for this type to remove existing limitations on the licence.
• Wooden structure covered with fabric is considered to fall under the wooden structure.
• For Aeroplanes with a combination of structures; e.g. metal tubing fuselage and wooden wings, both experience ‘metal tube covered with fabric’ and ‘wooden structure’ are required.
Kindly find the Table attached to the document below.
