Remove limitations from type ratings - UK Part 66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence

This page provides information to UK Part 66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence holders wishing to remove limitations from a type rating(s) on their existing licence.

Pre-Requisites

You must hold a current and valid Part 66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence with the relevant unrestricted Basic Category / Sub-Category on your licence.

You must ensure the relevant Basic Category/Sub-Category does not hold any of the limitations that you wish to be removed from aircraft type rating(s)applied for. You are unable to lift any limitations from aircraft type rating(s) if the Basic Category/Sub-Category holds the same limitations.

If the aircraft type requires type training, evidence of completing the appropriately approved Part 147 course (the Certificate of Recognition) will be required which can cover both theoretical and practical elements.

For the acceptability of EU/EASA Certificates of Recognition (CofR) please see Engineer licensing requirements after 1 January 2023

If the aircraft type requires type examination, we can assess the experience submitted without evidence of any course being completed.

You must provide the appropriate amount of practical maintenance experience on operating aircraft in compliance with UK AMC 66.A.30(e) in a form and manner acceptable to the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), signed by the appropriate signatory.

An acceptable format for demonstration of experience can be any of the following:

Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Logbook (CAP741)
Type Rating Record of Experience (SRG1007)
Or any other format agreed with the UK CAA

If the practical element is not completed at an approved Part 147 training organisation or completed at an approved UK Part 145 maintenance organisation can be considered for the removal of limitations from type rating(s) applied for.

The recommendation document will need to be completed by a Quality Manager or the immediate senior person within the Quality Department of your current employer, or the organisation where the experience is gained.

Costs

The current fee for this service to lift the limitations from any Type Rating(s) is £67.00 per application.

If you are also applying at the same time to lift any limitations from a basic category / sub-category there is no further fee required.

The removal of limitations from aircraft Type Ratings also incur a Rolling Renewal fee. To calculate this fee you will need to have the expiry date of your current Licence to hand when completing the online application form. The expiry date is normally found on page 6 of 8 of your current Part 66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence, depending on the size of your Licence.

If you are applying for any other additional services the appropriate fee will also apply.

An additional fee will be payable if you wish your documents to be returned by secure courier.
