European Aviation Safety Authority (EASA)Part 147 Aviation Maintenance School


Why EASA ?


Market Demand* Commercial Aircraft Fleet Growing

Current Fleet = 17,000.

Projected Increase in Fleet by 2026 = 28,000

Not Enough Maintenance Personnel Current Annual Demand Worldwide for AMT= 70,000

Current Annual Training Capacity Worldwide = 52,000

Increased Annual Demand Worldwide by 2026 = 24,000

Current and Projected Training Capacity Increase Needed to Meet Demand = 42,000

• * Data from ICAO NGAP Task Force


Market Demand - ContinuedIt is important to note that the growth in the commercial aviation fleet is not in

North America.The majority of the countries in the world are following EASA training and

licensing directives.The shortage in training capacity both current and projected is not in North

America.

Conclusion – The demand is and will be for EASA Trained and Licensed Maintenance Engineers.


International Recognition


OpportunityMeet the demand for EASA trained

maintenance engineers by offering EASA Part 147 approved training.


EASA and FAA

How Do They Compare


EASA vs FAA Key Differences EASA Part 66:

1. Requires more training hours2. Requires more training in specific technologies.3. Has more license categories.4. Requires aircraft-specific training and certification.5. Requires recurrent training.6. Training and syllabus.


EASA vs FAA EASA Hours FAA Hours

EASA vs FAAEASA LicenseCategory A

• 800 hours• Scheduled line maintenance

Category B1 (Mechanical rating)• 2,400 hours• Maintenance on aircraft structure, powerplants,

mechanical and electrical systems

Category B2 (Avionics rating)• 2,400 hours• Maintenance on avionics and electrical systems

Category C • Issues Certificate of Release to Service (CRS)• No license needed. Academic Route.

systems.

Inspection Authorization• A&P + 3 years OJT• Major Repairs, major alterations, and annual inspections


EASA

How Does it Work


EASA Licensing TracksAs opposed to the one category A & P License, EASA has a variety of licenses

Program Durations• EASA minimum requirements for contact hours are:

• Schools considering dual certification (A&P + EASA)

Cat – A Airplane Turbine 800 hours

B1.1 Airplane Turbine 2400 hours

B2 Avionics 2400 hours

A&P plus Cat – A Add 50 – 80 hoursIncludes extended human factorsEASA legislationEASA testing days

A&P plus B1.1 ~ 2800 hours

Some Options For Adopting EASA Certification/Training

B1 with A & PB2 AvionicsCategory “A” License with A & P LicenseTesting


B1 with A&P Dual Certification• Estimated 2,800 hour program• B1 curriculum can be either integrated with the A & P curriculum or

as an add-on “differences” course


B2 Avionics Certification• The B2 avionics path is similar to the B1 option

• 2400 Hour Program • Your curricula will be stand-alone and does not need to be meshed with the

separate requirements of an FAA program. • This eliminates the most difficult task required by those developing a dual

B1/FAA program.


Category A License with A & P License

• While A&P is a higher rating, thus limiting the benefit of a dual A&P/Category-A license, a few points can be considered.

1. Having a Category-A will allow an A&P to legally work in any EASA aligned country and will provide advantage when applying to many of the 1500+ EASA Part 145s in the US.

2. The 1900+ hour A&P curricula already covers practically all that is needed to include a Category-A in a current program. Less than 100 additional hours will be required to cover EASA Legislation and Human Factors.


Additional Revenue -EASA Testing Option

• Testing Experienced A & P’s who want an EASA License1. Those exams must be given by an EASA accredited Part 147 school.2. An accredited school is entitled to set up other testing locations.

• Opportunities1. Revenue from a share of student testing fees.2. Offering of non-accredited review and exam prep classes.3. Ongoing educational opportunities for alumni. 4. A valuable licensing service to offer the local 145 community and major student employers.5. Early establishment of a school’s EASA reputation and experience in your region. 6. Accustom teaching staff to working with the EASA Part 66 curricula.7. Allows exploration of the demand for EASA licensing in a market with minimal expense and

committed time.


What is the Investment ?


Basic Estimated Costs for EASA Approvals*

Less than 5 staff 6 – 10 staff 11 – 49 staffApplication fee $3,500 $10,000 $25,000Initial Surveyor’s Fees $10,000 $10,000 $10,000Annual renewal fee $2,700 $8,000 $20,000Annual Surveyor’s Fees $8,000 $8,000 $8,000

Other Considerations1. Quality Management System

• ISO Quality Management System (QMS) principles are the foundation for evaluating Part 147 certifications

• Ensure end product conforms to regulation.

2. What does this mean for a U.S. Part 147 AMTS• QMS system must be in place to satisfy EASA• The Maintenance Training Organization Exposition (MTOE) is a roadmap for a

QMS system• Requires personnel to manage the QMS system


Process• Prepare MTOE (Maintenance Training Organization Exposition).• Four Major Sections:

• Management Structure• Training and Examination Procedures• Training System Quality Procedures• Appendices – Samples of Documents Used including textbooks and lesson

plans
