1 Introduction
Personal licensing is a critical aspect of aircraft maintenance as it ensures that the individuals
working on aircraft systems and components have the necessary qualifications and training to
perform their duties safely and effectively. This is particularly important in ensuring the
airworthiness and safety of aircraft. In countries like the United States and Europe, regulatory
bodies such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA) have set stringent requirements for personal licensing in aviation
maintenance. These requirements typically include written exams, practical evaluations, and
on-the-job experience, and are designed to ensure that licensed individuals have the necessary
knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform their work. Personal licensing also provides a
means of tracking the qualifications and training of individuals, allowing employers to verify
that their maintenance personnel meet the necessary standards. In Sri Lanka, the Civil
Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka (CAASL) also recognizes the importance of personal
licensing in aviation maintenance and requires licensed personnel to perform maintenance
activities on aircraft registered in the country. By requiring licensed personnel, aircraft
maintenance is performed in a standardized and consistent manner, reducing the risk of error
and improving the overall safety of the aviation industry in Sri Lanka

In Sri Lanka, the Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka (CAASL) is responsible for
implementing the requirements for personal licensing in aviation maintenance. The CAASL
implements Implementing Standards (IS) 66, which lays down the standards for licensing of
maintenance personnel and the maintenance organization in Sri Lanka. IS-66 covers various
aspects of personal licensing, including education and training, experience, and certification.

Under IS-66, individuals who wish to work in aircraft maintenance must undergo formal
training and education in relevant areas such as aircraft structures, systems, and components.
They must also demonstrate practical skills through practical evaluations and have the
required on-the-job experience to be eligible for licensing. The CAASL also requires
individuals to pass written exams to demonstrate their knowledge of the relevant regulations
and standards.

Once individuals meet the requirements, they are issued a maintenance personnel license by
the CAASL, which allows them to perform maintenance activities on aircraft registered in Sri
Lanka. The CAASL periodically reviews the qualifications and training of licensed personnel
to ensure that they maintain the necessary standards.

3 Conclusions
In conclusion, personal licensing is a critical component of aircraft maintenance in Sri Lanka
as it helps to ensure that individuals working on aircraft systems and components are
qualified, trained, and capable of performing their duties safely and effectively. The
implementation of Implementing Standards (IS) 66 by the Civil Aviation Authority of Sri
Lanka (CAASL) is essential in ensuring that the licensing requirements are met and that
maintenance personnel have the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform their
work. Personal licensing also provides a means of tracking the qualifications and training of
individuals, which is critical in ensuring that the maintenance workforce remains up-to-date
and capable of meeting the evolving needs of the aviation industry. By requiring licensed
personnel, aircraft maintenance is performed in a standardized and consistent manner,
reducing the risk of error, and improving the overall safety of the aviation industry in Sri
Lanka. Overall, personal licensing is a crucial aspect of aviation maintenance and plays a
vital role in ensuring the airworthiness and safety of aircraft in Sri Lanka.
