v1.2 – August 2016

 PRACTICAL TRAINING OPTIONS FOR AIRCRAFT TYPE TRAINING
AND RECORDING OF RECENT WORK EXPERIENCE

Advisory Circulars are intended to provide advice and guidance to illustrate a means, but not necessarily the only
means, of complying with the Regulations, or to explain certain regulatory requirements by providing informative,
interpretative and explanatory material.
Advisory Circulars should always be read in conjunction with the relevant regulations.

Audience
This Advisory Circular (AC) applies to:

• licenced aircraft maintenance engineers (LAMEs)

• Part 145 approved maintenance organisations (AMO)
• Part 147 maintenance training organisations (MTO)

Purpose
This AC provides Part 66 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 (CASR) guidance material
pertaining to carrying out practical on course (POC) training and on-the-job training (OJT). Both of
these practical training methodologies provide a way of satisfying the practical component of
aircraft type rating training for B1 and B2 LAME licences. Another method is practical consolidation
training (PCT), the details of which can be seen in AC 147-1.
This AC also provides guidance to LAMEs on the options available for the recording of evidence of
their recent OJT work experience or maintenance tasks performed. This record may assist the
LAMEs in verifying that their Part 66 licence remains valid.

For further information

For further information on this AC, contact the Civil Aviation Safety Authority’s (CASA’s)
Maintenance Personnel Licensing branch (telephone 131 757).

Unless specified otherwise, all subregulations, regulations, divisions, subparts and parts

 PRACTICAL TRAINING OPTIONS FOR AIRCRAFT TYPE TRAINING
AND RECORDING OF RECENT WORK EXPERIENCE

2 Background

2.1 Overview
2.1.1 Under the previous regulation 31 of the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988 (CAR) licence
system, the practical consolidation training (PCT) program was established to provide
an alternative to schedules of experience (SOE) which would still satisfy the experience
requirements for grant of aircraft type ratings. The way in which PCT programs are
developed, approved and used can be seen in AC 147-1.
2.1.2 For a first rating either PCT or practical on course training (POC) is combined with an
on-the-job training (OJT) program to provide the experience required for a licence rating
in the B1 or B2 category. A licenced aircraft maintenance engineer (LAME) who already
holds a B1 or B2 type rating may utilise PCT training to meet the practical requirements
for their second or subsequent type rating in the same category as their first type rating,
or their first type rating in the other licence category (as a pre-requisite they must first
gain the underlying category). For example a B1 holder seeking their first B2 rating may
utilise PCT training to fully meet the practical requirements for the aircraft type rating.
2.1.3 POC, OJT and SOE may also be used in a standalone form to meet the practical
requirements for a rating.
2.1.4 SOE compiled to meet the B1 and B2 type rating experience requirements are another
acceptable means of compliance (AMC). 1

2.2 Type/task training and ratings

2.2.1 Type training consists of theoretical training and examination and practical training and
assessment and is described in sections 66.A.45, 66.A.50 and 66.A.55 of the
Part 66 MOS.
2.2.2 The practical element of type training may be conducted simultaneously with the
conduct of the theoretical element of type training or provided separately as a stand-
alone element. 2
2.2.3 Any practical training element, whether PCT, POC, OJT or SOE, consists of the
performance of representative maintenance tasks drawn from the type training and
examination syllabus, at the indicated level and to the assessment standards outlined in
Clause B – Practical element – assessment standard of Subpart 4 of Appendix III to the
Part 66 MOS.
2.2.4 Structured OJT is performed according to a type-specific program and includes training
in maintenance of the aircraft, rigging, adjustments, replacement of line replaceable
units, troubleshooting, rectification of minor defects and testing of systems covering
each element of the course.

AND RECORDING OF RECENT WORK EXPERIENCE

2.3 Required amounts of PCT, POC and OJT

2.3.1 The percentage of tasks to be covered for different combinations of PCT, POC and OJT
to satisfy the practical requirements of aircraft type training are provided in Appendix II
of the Part 66 AMC/GM document, located on the Civil Aviation Safety Authority’s
(CASA) website.

2.4 Practical on course training

2.4.1 POC is the practical experience gained by a LAME through their participation in an
aircraft type training course where the practical element of the training is run in
conjunction with the theory training.
2.4.2 The objective of practical training is to gain the required competence in performing safe
maintenance, inspections and routine work according to the maintenance manual and
other relevant instructions and tasks, as appropriate for the type of aircraft. For
example:
− troubleshooting
− repairs
− adjustments
− replacements
− rigging and functional checks.
It includes the awareness of the use of all technical literature and documentation for the
aircraft, the use of specialist/special tooling and test equipment for performing removal
and replacement of components and modules unique to type, including any on-wing
maintenance activity.
2.4.3 The practical on course task list can be found in the table at Appendix A. At least 50%
of the crossed items in the table, which are relevant to the particular aircraft type, must
be completed and assessed as part of the approved practical training.
2.4.4 Tasks marked with a cross represent subjects that would be mandatory for practical
training purposes to ensure that the operation, function, installation and safety
significance of key maintenance tasks are adequately addressed; particularly where
these cannot be fully explained by theoretical training alone.
2.4.5 Although the list details the minimum practical training subjects, other items may be
added where applicable to the particular aircraft type. As per the requirements of
Appendix III of the Part 66 MOS, tasks to be completed must be representative of the
aircraft and systems both in complexity and in the technical input required to complete
that task. While relatively simple tasks may be included, other more complex
maintenance tasks shall also be incorporated and undertaken as appropriate to the
aircraft type.
2.4.6 A type course developed to include the practical tasks outlined in the table at
Appendix A is subject to the normal type course approval process described in the
Part 66 MOS.

 PRACTICAL TRAINING OPTIONS FOR AIRCRAFT TYPE TRAINING
AND RECORDING OF RECENT WORK EXPERIENCE

2.5 On-the-job-training
2.5.1 OJT is the aircraft maintenance experience gained by a LAME in the workplace. The
objective of OJT is to gain the required competence and experience in performing safe
maintenance. This type of training may or may not use structured learning processes.
2.5.2 OJT is usually delivered peer-to-peer and shall take place on the aircraft, or
aeronautical product, or at the workplace involving actual work task performance. OJT
may include both line and base maintenance tasks and must comply with the
requirements of Appendix III of the Part 66 MOS.
2.5.3 As per the requirements of Appendix III of the Part 66 MOS, OJT needs to cover a
cross section of tasks representative of the aircraft and systems both in complexity and
in the technical input required to complete that task. While relatively simple tasks may
be included, other more complex maintenance tasks shall also be incorporated and
undertaken as appropriate to the aircraft type. Each task shall be signed off by the
student, in addition to the workplace supervisor, peer or assessor. The tasks listed shall
refer to an actual job card/work order etc. The following data is addressed on the OJT
worksheets/logbook:
− trainee details (name, date of birth)
− approved maintenance organisation (AMO) and location
− name of supervisor and assessor (including licence number if applicable)
− description of task and job card/work order/tech log, date of task completion etc.
− aircraft type and aircraft registration
− licence rating applied for.
2.5.4 Type specific tasks may be substituted as applicable to the aircraft type concerned and
licence category. OJT should demonstrate a variety and cross section of tasks both in
terms of aircraft systems experience and in the complexity of the tasks performed. The
design of the OJT program should consider which tasks for an aircraft will be mandatory
irrespective of the experience reductions available by virtue of completing PCT or POC.
There will be aircraft specific tasks that every LAME will need to carry out, irrespective
of their experience.

2.5.5 Nomination of mandatory tasks

2.5.5.1 The AMO should nominate tasks from the tasks listed in Appendix B that will be
applicable to all LAME; and those required for less experienced LAME.

2.5.6 OJT record keeping

2.5.6.1 Type experience should be demonstrated by the submission (to the AMO assessor) of
OJT records or a logbook showing tasks performed by the applicant. The maintenance
organisation should provide applicants a schedule or plan indicating a list of tasks for a
type rating to be performed under supervision. A record of the tasks completed should
be entered into a logbook, which should be designed such that each or a group of tasks
may be countersigned by a workplace supervisor, peer or assessor.
2.5.6.2 The logbook format and its use should be clearly defined. A CASA SOE or a workplace
‘Recent work experience record’ worksheet can be utilised for the logging of OJT (refer

AC 66-07 v1.2 August 2016 Page 8

 PRACTICAL TRAINING OPTIONS FOR AIRCRAFT TYPE TRAINING
AND RECORDING OF RECENT WORK EXPERIENCE

to Appendix C). This worksheet may be printed off and used by an individual LAME to
record evidence of their OJT experience or maintenance tasks performed.
2.5.6.3 ‘Sample forms’ for recording of an individual’s personal information, including details of
qualifications and training, authorisations and/or licences held and previous
employment history are provided at Appendix D.
2.5.6.4 Another document that may be used by a LAME for the recording of evidence of their
work experience or maintenance tasks performed is the Standard Aircraft Maintenance
Technician’s logbook, a United States of America publication, which meets regulatory
requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration (refer to advisory materials table at
section 1.3).
2.5.6.5 Additional information regarding AMC for use by a LAME for OJT can be found in the
Part 66 AMC/GM document, located on the CASA website.

2.5.7 Conduct of OJT

2.5.7.1 It is acceptable for confirmation of individual OJT task completion to be undertaken by a
direct supervisor. The Maintenance Training Organisation (MTO) Assessor or the AMO
Quality Manager should conduct a final review of the tasks undertaken and provide
confirmation of the completion of the required diversity, variety and quantity of OJT.
During OJT, the supervisor is to oversee the complete process, including task
completion and use of manuals and procedures during the performance of maintenance
in an appropriately approved maintenance environment.

2.6 Assessment
2.6.1 Where the OJT and its assessment are conducted under the responsibility of a
nominated Quality Manager within a Part 145 AMO, or an MTO assessor, an
adjustment is required to the Part 145 approval to describe the process. These
procedures should specify the requirements for assessor training and the assessment
process and should identify the assessor by name and position within the organisation.
The incorporation of an OJT program within an AMO’s operations requires a significant
change to the AMO's exposition procedures and requires CASA approval. Each OJT
program for each aircraft type will also require approval by CASA.
2.6.2 The OJT record should be submitted to the MTO with which an arrangement has been
made for assessment, or to the AMO Quality Manager. The final assessment of the OJT
that has been satisfactorily completed to the requirements outlined above should be
certified by either a Part 147 MTO assessor or the Part 145 Quality Manager.
2.6.3 When the OJT has been successfully completed, the MTO or the AMO Quality Manager
should complete the appropriate section of CASA Form 465 (category A, B1 or B2)
Notification to CASA of Training Outcome(s). The assessment may be performed task-
by-task or conducted as a final assessment at the end of the practical training and/or
OJT.
2.6.4 Assessment standards for the practical element of aircraft type training are detailed in
Clause B of Subpart 4 of Appendix III to the Part 66 MOS.
