What you always wanted to know about the EASA part 66 / JAR-66 licence and FAA A&P license!

What are the EASA Part 66 , JAR 66 and the A&P Lizense? - EASA part 66 / JAR-66 FAQ!

Aviation Maintenance Personnel must prove a minimum of technical knowledge in order to sign an Aircraft airworthy.
This is proved by passing the EASA part 66 CAT-A, B1, B2 and CAT-C licenses at EASA part 147 approved exam places.
This licence was earlier in the European Union called JAR-66 licence!

The EASA licence is subdivided in different categories:
CAT-A1 and B1.1 Aeroplanes Turbine (mechanical)
CAT-A2 and B1.2 Aeroplanes Piston (mechanical)
CAT-A3 and B1.3 Helicopters Turbine (mechanical)
CAT-A4 and B1.4 Helicopters Piston (mechanical)
Category B2 (avionics)
Category C (Base Maintenance Certifying Engineer)


A little bit of history:
Since the founding of the EASA (
28 September 2003), by (Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 ) (it reached full functionality in 2008),
EASA took over functions of the JAA (Joint Aviation Authorities) and JAR. JAR had previously copied a lot from
FAR = "Federal Aviation Regulation" of the USA FAA. It has also advanced the Regulation to an international Standard.
The A&P Mechanics-License of the US-FAA underlies still FAR 65. JAR has extended this to JAR-66 and it is nowadays the
worldwide standard for aviation maintenance. All major international airlines/countries have gone to the JAR-66 standard.

Info:
EASA does not recognise NON-EU JAR-66, A&P or ICAO Type II exams -See section A9! 
The same applies if you want to get an A&P license, there is no crossing over from other licenses!

Please no emails like: I am the greatest, I know everything and I do not need anything & how do I convert to the part 66 EASA licence!
You must take all basic exams again from the beginning on, if you do not have EU-member state certificates!

How can you get the EASA Part 66 Licence?
CAT-A  is mostly offered with an apprenticeship. If not offered by an institution for free I would not go for it!
