AMEL Type Rating Appl | Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand
2. Complete an approved/acceptable course. CAA expectation is that type rating courses should be:
conducted by the holder of an aviation training organisation certificate issued under Part 141 that authorises the conduct of such a course; or
3. Complete Technical Oral Assessment / Examination
The Technical Oral should establish the engineer’s technical competence covering the full rating privilege being applied for. This should be conducted by the applicant’s Part 145 Maintenance Organisation (as part of their company authorisation procedures), or alternatively by the acceptable training provider using the CAA guidelines.
have completed 6 months practical experience on the type or group of aircraft or components for which the rating is sought; and
66.103(2) - Practical experience
The rule specifies a minimum time of 6 months practical experience on the type or group of aircraft or aircraft components. This should be completed within the immediate three years before application to demonstrate familiarity and currency.
Documenting experience - Practical Training Record (PTR):
To demonstrate that six months practical experience has been completed for the issue of a rating, the experience should be documented in a suitable Practical Training Record (PTR).
The CAA has produced an acceptable PTR in conjunction with the ATTTO. This can be purchased from ATTTO - use this link. The ATTTO web site is www.attto.org.nz.
Engineers are not required to use the ATTTO / CAA PTR but the format of any acceptable PTR should list the specific tasks completed, being countersigned by a supervising LAME, along with details of the dates and the specific aircraft or component.
As a guide, a typical group rating PTR page has been included in Appendix 5.
Only experience specific to the rating(s) sought should be included, or highlighted in some way in the PTR. The range and depth of the relevant experience should be readily evident from an assessment of the PTR.
Rating experience requirements
Functional testing and servicing of powerplant systems, including propulsion engine ground running.
Note: Applicants for the Group 2 powerplant rating must hold the Group 1 powerplant rating.
Compass compensation for the issue of the first rating.
Lighter-than-air category:
Fabric repairs and other rectification.
Note: If insufficient experience is shown for a group rating and this is due to the inability of the applicant to be exposed to more than one type within a group, the applicant may apply to have that type issued as a restricted type rating within a group. It is not intended for this to be usual practice, but the provision is included for cases of genuine need. If a genuine need cannot be substantiated then the application will be declined.
For transport category aircraft, the PTR will normally be developed by the Part 145 Certificated Maintenance Organisation as part of their company authorisation procedures, and should clearly detail or set out an acceptable cross-section of specific tasks across the relevant systems that must be completed prior to the issue of a company authorisation.
Type rating PTRs may also be developed by a Part 141 aviation training organisation for their type rating courses.
conducted by a Part 141 aviation training organisation, or a Part 145 maintenance organisation certificated (rule 145.11(a)(10)) with the appropriate E1 rating; or
Additionally, courses should:
be developed/packaged to an industry recognised standard such as - ATA Specification 104 - Guidelines for Aircraft Maintenance Training - Level III (Line and Base Level Maintenance), or an equivalent standard;
Type rating courses should be completed within 2 years to ensure familiarity and currency on type. If more than 2 years has expired since course completion, the currency of type course may be satisfactory if the holder can show continuous or significant recent practical experience on the type since completion of the course.
In cases where approved courses are not available and the provisioning of an oral or written examination is within the capabilities of CAA or ASL, an examination may be conducted by ASL.
