es. Furthermore, this answer overlooks the bigger problem with the question, in which CASA Part 66 exams are assumed to be acceptable evidence for the theoretical side of assessing Units of Competency.
Licencing
What exactly is the “Ten Year Expiry” on my CASA Module Examinations?
There are two distinct parts to this question. Firstly, the “well known rule”.
How long do I need to be working on aircraft to apply for a B1.1 Part 66 Licence?
Depending on the licence category sought, there are different practical requirements.
Where would I find any guide to ‘requalification requirements’, if my Part 66 Licence has not been exercised for several years?
As always with licencing, refer to the Part 66 Manual of Standards. Pages 14 to 15 outline requalification requirements
How can I tell if I have fully achieved an ‘MEA’ unit and satisfied all of the unit’s requirements?
To demonstrate competence in a Unit of Competency (“MEA” in this case) requires assessment against all performance evidence and knowledge evidence criteria listed in the unit
If CASA does not set the rules for how Units of Competency are assessed, why do they require them?
Good question. For licencing purposes, CASA wants to ensure that an engineer has sufficient technical knowledge and appropriate practical experience.
Who determines the rules/standards for ‘competency’ regarding any units of competency CASA requires me to have?
NOT CASA. Although CASA will dictate which Units of Competency (“MEAs”) are required for licence categories or exclusion removals, they do not mandate how assessment should be carried out for these units.
Is it possible for me to sit CASA ‘basics’ exams anywhere?
No. As of 1 July 2021, it has no longer been possible to use the CASA “basics” combined with SOE (Schedule of Experience) to attain an aircraft engineer’s licence.
What is ‘base maintenance’ with respect to aircraft engineering?
Good question, with no fully satisfactory answer from us, unfortunately. There appears to be no specific definition of the term “base maintenance”.
What is particularly different with a category ‘C’ Part 66 engineer’s licence in relation to a category ‘B’ licence?
The single major difference between a category ‘B’ licence and category ‘C’ licence is the in authority of releasing an aircraft to service.
