Add a type rating : EASA Part 66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence

The Licence entitles you to exercise certification privileges on a specific aircraft type(s)

  • EU exit

    Please note that, in the event of UK participation in EASA and mutual recognition of licences and certificates ceasing, some CAA website content and application forms may continue to carry the EASA logo or reference the EU or EASA rather than the UK CAA in the short term.  These will be updated in due course following the outcome of the transition period negotiations on the long-term aviation relationship between the UK and the EU.  In the meantime, the guidance provided and the application forms accessed via the CAA website portal will continue to be valid.


  • Pre-requisites

    You must hold an existing Part 66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence and have met the full requirements as per Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014, Annex III, Part 66, 66.A.45.

    Ensure that the relevant theoretical type rating training has been conducted within an approved JAR/Part 147 training organisation.

    Ensure that the relevant practical type rating training has been conducted within either an approved Part 147 training organisation or an approved Part 145 organisation.

    If however you applying for your first type rating to be endorsed onto your Part 66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence, then you must ensure that the structured approved OJT has been completed within an approved EASA 145 organisation in support of your theoretical and practical Certificates of Recognition(s).

    Currently for the addition of type rating(s) we can accept both JAR and Part 147 Certificates of Recognition.

    NB: If you are applying for a change of name and or nationality you will be required to supply evidence in support of your request, e.g. change of name deed poll/marriage certificate/valid passport.

    How much does it cost?
