Part 3 — Practical elements
      1 The representative cross-section of maintenance activities mentioned in section 66.A.50 may include 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.
      2 The structured OJT practical element of type training may include targeted experience recorded within a schedule of experience or competency-based assessment of a schedule of practical tasks.
      3 Irrespective of how the practical training element is conducted, it must consist of the performance of representative maintenance tasks drawn from the type training and examination syllabus, at the indicated level, and their assessment in order to meet the following objectives:
(a) ensure safe performance of 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 and functional checks;
(b) correctly use all technical literature and documentation for the aircraft;
(c) correctly use specialist and special tooling and test equipment, perform removal and replacement of components and modules unique to type, including any on‑wing maintenance activity.

Part 4

A Theory element — examination standard
       Where aircraft type training is required, the examination must be written and comply with the following:
(a) Format of the examination is of the multiple-choice type. Each multi-choice question must have 3 alternative answers of which only 1 must be the correct answer. The time for answering is based upon a nominal average of 90 seconds per question.
(b) Alternative answers must seem equally possible to anyone with no knowledge of the subject. All of the alternatives should be clearly related to the question and of similar vocabulary, grammatical construction and length.
(c) In numerical questions, the incorrect answers must correspond to procedural errors such as the use of incorrect sense (+ versus -) or incorrect measurement units: they must not be mere random numbers.
(d) Subject to paragraph (j), the level of each question should be the one defined in Part 2 "type training standard".
(e) The examination must be of the closed book type. No reference material is permitted. An exception will be made for the case of examining a B1 or B2 candidate's ability to interpret technical documents.
(f) The number of questions must be at least 1 question per hour of instruction, with a minimum of 1 question per chapter. CASA will assess number and level of questions on a sampling basis when approving the course. The number of questions for each level must be consistent with the effective training hours spent teaching at that level.
