the time when the application is submitted. If the final amount of fees could not be

determined at the time of application, an amount estimated by AACM shall be paid.

Any outstanding balance shall be settled right after the application has been processed.

2. Approval of Modifications

2.1 Modifications other than those made mandatory by the Authority and not traceable to

any approved continuing airworthiness information disseminated by type certificate

holders or supplementary type certificate holders, such as Service Bulletin, shall be

approved by the Authority.

2.2 In order for the AACM to determine the approval route, all modifications must be

classified as major or minor prior to submission for approval. Assessment of

modification classification shall be referred to the guidelines in EASA GM 21A.91


No. : AP5

FAX: (853) 2833 8089

AFTN: VMMCYAYI

AP-5 P.2 01 July 2015

2.3 For major modification, application has to be substantiated by approved modification

design data such as Supplement Type Certificate (STC) traceable to the standard of

State of Design or any other States considered having equivalent safety standards. The

AACM has the final decision on the modification classification.

2.4 Applications for approval by the Authority shall be made on AACM Form AACM-

AW-39 (refer to Appendix No. 2) supported with a completed “Modification and

Repair Approval Application Report” (shown in Appendix No. 1 as guideline) and

submitted to the Authority together with the modification design and supporting

documents.

2.5 For modification approval application, it is acceptable for the applicant to submit only

one AACM Form AACM-AW-39 for more than one aircraft or the entire fleet as long

as it is a combination of one aircraft family type and with similar configuration. Refer

to MAR-1 AP2 Appendix No. 1 for aircraft type accepted by the AACM.

2.6 The person responsible for the modification design must have sound knowledge of

aircraft certification and design principles embodied in the aircraft type being modified

and shall state any particular requirements to be observed when the modification is

completed and before an aircraft, component or equipment is released for service. The

following aspects shall be considered:

(a) Whether tests or inspections during the progress or after the completion of the

modification are necessary to ensure it complies with the specified requirements.

(b) The qualifications of persons who may be required to assess completed work and

certify that it complies with the approved design.

(c) Whether significant changes in the weight and centre of gravity position of the

aircraft will occur and if re-weighing or preparation of a new weight and balance

report is necessary.

(d) Whether the flight or operating characteristics of an aircraft may have been affected

by the work and the necessity to have the aircraft inspected and certified as fit for

flight and flight tested.

(e) Whether amendments of particulars in the Certificate of Airworthiness or

associated documents are required.

(f) Whether amendments are necessary to the aircraft flight manual, maintenance

programme, minimum equipment list or any other documents approved for

maintenance or operation of the aircraft.

Note: All such amendments must be approved prior to the first flight after the

modification is embodied. Such approvals must be applied separately but could be

applied simultaneously with the modification approval.

(g) Whether there are any amendments of instruction to continuing airworthiness and

operational requirements in relation to the modification.

AP-5 P.3 01 July 2015

2.7 Compliance with each proposed certification basis of the type design and

environmental protection requirements affected by modification must be clearly

demonstrated.

2.8 A Modification Approval Certificate (Form AACM-AW-36 shown in Appendix No.

3) shall only be granted by the Authority after it is shown that:

(a) The modification meets the applicable certification basis and environmental

protection requirements.

(b) Any airworthiness provisions not complied with are compensated for by factors

that provide an equivalent level of safety; and

(c) No feature or characteristic makes the product unsafe for the uses for which

certification is requested.

2.9 The Authority may require compliance checks after the completion of the modification

and before an aircraft, component or equipment is released for service. The

modification approval applicant shall arrange for such checks to be carried out by the

Authority.

2.10 All changes to an approved drawing or document will require re-approval of the

original. The issue or revision number shall be raised following re-approval.

3. Approval of Repair

3.1 Where a repair falls outside the scope of maintenance data as specified in MAR

145.45, unless the repair data is issued by type certificate holders or supplementary

type certificate holders, and approved by the original type certificating authority, such

repair will require the approval of the AACM.

3.2 The design approval holder must classify the repair as major or minor. Assessment of

repair classification shall be referred to the guidelines in EASA 21A.435(a). All repair

design should have been classified prior to submission to the AACM.

3.3 The Authority will only approve repair design data traceable to approval from States

considered having equivalent safety standards to the State of Design. Applications for

repair approval by the Authority shall be made on AACM Form AACM-AW-39

supported with a completed “Modification and Repair Approval Application Report”

(shown in Appendix No. 1 as guideline) and submitted to the Authority together with

the repair scheme and supporting documents.

3.4 For repair approval application, it is reminded that one application form is effective for

one aircraft only.

3.5 The person responsible for the repair design must have sound knowledge of aircraft

certification and design principles embodied in the aircraft type being repaired.

SUBJECT: Initial Issue / Variation / Renewal of the MAR-66 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer

Licences Procedures

1. Introduction

1.1 Paragraph 11(1) of the Air Navigation Regulation of Macao (ANRM), establishes that

the Civil Aviation Authority may grant aircraft maintenance engineer licences, subject

to such conditions as it thinks fit, upon it being satisfied that the applicant is a fit

person to hold the licence and has furnished such evidence and passed such

examinations and tests as the Civil Aviation Authority may require of him for the

purpose of establishing that he has sufficient knowledge, experience, competence and

skill in aeronautical engineering.

1.2 The MAR-66 Licensing of Aircraft Maintenance Engineer sets out the minimum

requirements for the issue of aircraft maintenance engineer licence mentioned in

Paragraph 11 of ANRM.

1.3 The purpose of this Airworthiness Procedure (AP) is to establish the procedures in

regard to the initial issue / variation / renewal of the MAR-66 aircraft maintenance

engineer licences. Supplemental information is presented in Appendix No. 1.

1.4 The fees payable will be in accordance with Executive Order 45/2012. The fees shall

maintenance constitutes the experience. A task by task account is desirable but a

blanket statement "X years maintenance experience completed" is not acceptable.

Alternatively, any kind of personal log book of maintenance experience may be used

as reference. It is acceptable to cross refer in the application form provided to other

documents containing information on maintenance experience. A typical example of a

log book page is shown in Appendix No. 3 of this AP.

4.3 Applicants claiming the maximum reduction in MAR 66.30(a) total experience based

upon having successfully completed MAR 147.85 approved basic training, should

include the MAR-147 certificate of recognition for approved basic training.

4.4 Applicants claiming the reduction in MAR 66.30(a) total experience based upon

having successfully completed technical training in an organisation or institute

recognised by the Civil Aviation Authority as a competent organisation or institute,

should include the relevant certificate of successful completion of training.

4.5 Applicants claiming credit against the MAR 66.30(a) total experience requirement by

virtue of MAR 66.30(e) non-civil experience, may only be granted such credit where

the Civil Aviation Authority has recognised such non-civil aircraft maintenance

experience. The Civil Aviation Authority in recognising non-civil aircraft maintenance

experience will have specified who within the non-civil environment may make a

statement that the applicant has met relevant maintenance experience. The applicant

should include a detailed statement of such maintenance experience signed by the non-

civil maintenance authority in accordance with the conditions specified in the Civil

Aviation Authority letter of recognition.

4.6 On receipt of the application form provided and any supporting documentation

submitted to the Civil Aviation Authority, it will be checked for completeness and

ensure that the experience claimed meets the requirement of MAR-66 and that the

experience record satisfies Para 4.2 in terms of content and the countersigning

signature.

4.7 The Civil Aviation Authority will either conduct the examination or request that such

examinations be carried out by a delegated examination organisation and/or an

appropriately approved MAR-147 maintenance training organisation.

4.8 When satisfied that the applicant meets the standards of knowledge and experience

required by MAR-66, the Civil Aviation Authority will issue a MAR-66 aircraft

maintenance engineer licence. The original licence will be presented to the applicant

and a copy is retained on Civil Aviation Authority file.

AP-6 P.3 19 Dec 2013

5. Procedure for the variation of a MAR-66 aircraft maintenance licence to include an

additional basic category

5.1 Application for additional basic categories, that is, MAR-66 category A or B1 or B2 or

B3 or C to the MAR-66 aircraft maintenance engineer licence must follow the

procedure of Para 4 except that, in addition, the applicant's current original licence

should be presented to the Civil Aviation Authority with the application form

provided.

5.2 At the completion of the Para 4 procedures, the Civil Aviation Authority will reissue

the MAR-66 aircraft maintenance engineer licence to include the additional basic

category. A copy of the reissued licence is retained on Civil Aviation Authority file.

6. Procedure for the variation of a MAR-66 aircraft maintenance licence to include an

aircraft type

6.1 Aircraft types are entered in the MAR-66 aircraft maintenance licence category B1 or

B2 or C when the applicant is qualified on the particular aircraft, in terms of having

completed the particular aircraft type training course (including theoretical and

practical elements) conducted by an appropriately approved MAR-147 maintenance

training organisation or such an aircraft type training course approved by the Civil

Aviation Authority and having been successfully examined on the aircraft type by

either the Civil Aviation Authority or by a delegated examination organisation and/or

an appropriately approved MAR-147 maintenance training organisation; in addition,

for the first aircraft type rating endorsement, completing the corresponding On the Job

Training (OJT) as described in Appendix 3 to MAR-66. GM66.45 table “Aircraft

Rating Requirements” in MAR-66 can be referred. Application to include an aircraft

type in the MAR-66 aircraft maintenance engineer licence must follow the procedure

of this Para 6.

6.2 The MAR-145 approved maintenance organisation must ensure that the applicant

meets the MAR-66 requirement for the aircraft type to be entered in the MAR-66

aircraft maintenance engineer licence before signing the application form

recommendation within 10 working days prior to the submission of application. The

MAR-145 organisation is used to recommend the applicant because of the need to

endorse the aircraft practical experience or OJT, which shall be conducted and under

the control of a maintenance organisation appropriately approved.

6.3 The acceptance standards for applicants who hold aircraft certification qualifications

or have attended the aircraft type trainings that have not been accepted/approved by the

Civil Aviation Authority are described in Appendix No. 4 of this AP.

AP-6 P.4 19 Dec 2013

6.4 When in compliance with MAR-66 as summarised in Para 6.1, the MAR-66 aircraft

maintenance engineer licence holder must complete the relevant aircraft type parts of

application form, request the maintenance organisation to endorse the application form

with an appropriate aircraft type recommendation and present the completed

application form together with the holder's licence to the Civil Aviation Authority.

6.5 On receipt of a completed application form, necessary supporting documents and the

accompanying MAR-66 aircraft maintenance engineer licence, the Civil Aviation

Authority will reissue the said licence to include the aircraft type. A copy of the

reissued licence is retained on Civil Aviation Authority file.

6.6 Where a MAR-145 approved maintenance organisation qualifies an engineer or

mechanic for MAR-66 aircraft maintenance licence aircraft type endorsement but

chooses not to issue the MAR-145 certification authorisation for economic reasons, the

Civil Aviation Authority will, on request of the applicant, still proceed with the

endorsement of the MAR-66 aircraft maintenance engineer licence.

The purpose of this provision is to cover the case where the MAR-145 approved

maintenance organisation is attempting to qualify more personnel than it may need to

issue aircraft certificates of release to service on the basis that some personnel may fail

to qualify and normal unpredicted staff turnover, such as those leaving the organisation

at short notice, etc.

7. Procedure for the renewal of a MAR-66 aircraft maintenance engineer licence

7.1 The MAR-66 aircraft maintenance engineer licence is valid for five years and will be

renewed for further five year periods subject to confirmation that the requirements

stated in MAR 66.40 are met, and the MAR-66 aircraft maintenance engineer licence

held by Civil Aviation Authority has the same endorsements as contained in the

holder's copy of the document and the licence holder is not under investigation for

possible revocation, suspension or variation of the MAR-66 aircraft maintenance

engineer licence in accordance with MAR 66.65, AC and AP.

7.2 The holder of a MAR-66 aircraft maintenance engineer licence must complete the

relevant parts of application form provided and submit it with the holder's licence to

the Civil Aviation Authority. A licence may be renewed provided that the holder is in

compliance with the requirements specified in MAR 66.40.

7.3 The Civil Aviation Authority will compare the MAR-66 aircraft maintenance engineer

licence from the holder with the licence held on file and check for any pending MAR

66.65 revocation, suspension or variation action. If the documents are the same and

there is no pending MAR 66.65 action, the maintenance experience is satisfied then

the holder's copy will be renewed for five years and the copy held on file updated

accordingly. The Civil Aviation Authority will not be carrying out any investigation to

ensure that the licence holder is in current aircraft type maintenance practice as this is

a matter for the MAR-145 approved maintenance organisation in ensuring validity of

the MAR-145 certification authorisation.

AP-6 P.5 19 Dec 2013

7.4 If the licence copy held by Civil Aviation Authority is different from that held by the

licence holder, the Civil Aviation Authority will investigate the reasons for such

differences and act accordingly.

7.5 To act accordingly in the case where the Civil Aviation Authority is unable to establish

that the different endorsements were properly obtained to the standard of MAR-66

means that the Civil Aviation Authority may not renew the MAR-66 aircraft

maintenance engineer licence and will inform both the licence holder and the affected

MAR-145 approved maintenance organisation of such a fact and may need to consider

MAR 66.65 revocation, suspension or variation action.


The MAR-66 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licence Application Form shall be provided

upon request from the Licensing Office of Civil Aviation Authority.

9. Information

Regarding group rating endorsement, requirement stipulated in MAR-66 must be complied

with prior to any application submission. For any enquiry, kindly approach the Civil

Aviation Authority for further information.

AP-6 App-1 P.1 19 Dec 2013

MAR-66 AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE ENGINEER LICENCE

1. Each licence holder should have a unique licence number based upon a numeric designator.

2. The licence will have the initial issue date, expiry date, last expiry date and this issue date printed. The name, date of birth, address and nationality of the licence holder will also be stated. The licence holder should sign the document in ink after having checked the correctness of the information contained. The aircraft type rating need not be issued until the first type endorsement is included.

3. The MAR-66 aircraft maintenance engineer licence once issued is required to be kept by the person to whom it applies in good condition and who shall remain accountable for ensuring that no unauthorised entries are made.

4. Failure to comply with Para 3 may invalidate the licence and may result in prosecution under the law.

5. It is important to understand that the existence of the MAR-66 aircraft maintenance engineer licence alone does not permit the holder to issue a MAR 145.50 certificate of release to service. To issue a MAR 145.50 certificate of release to service requires a valid MAR-66 aircraft maintenance engineer licence type rated for the aircraft AND an appropriate valid MAR-145 certification authorisation. The MAR-145 certification authorisation is issued by the MAR-145 approved maintenance organisation.

6. A type rated MAR-66 aircraft maintenance engineer licence may only be used to make

certification(s) where the licence is endorsed to permit this.

TYPE RATING ENDORSEMENT –

ACCEPTANCE OF AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE QUALIFICATION & TYPE TRAINING

NOT ISSUED / APPROVED BY THE CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY

1. Introduction

1.1 In accordance with the MAR 66.45 requirement, the endorsement of a type rating to an

MAR-66 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licence (AMEL) requires the applicant to

complete an approved aircraft type knowledge and practical training process.

1.2 Aircraft maintenance qualifications (e.g. type rated licence and maintenance

authorisation), which are not issued by the Civil Aviation Authority, do not

automatically meet the MAR-66 requirements for the type endorsement to the MAR-

66 AMEL. Neither does the type training, which is not approved by the Civil Aviation

Authority.

1.3 It should be reminded that the type endorsement on the MAR-66 AMEL does not

provide the licence holder the certification privilege on commercial air transport

aircraft. As per MAR 145.35(e), the MAR-145 approved maintenance organisation

(AMO) must establish the competence and qualification of all prospective certifying

staff for certification authorisation. The assessment, performed by the MAR-145

AMO, on competence and qualification may result in requiring additional training.

1.4 The Civil Aviation Authority has evaluated the situation and has defined the

acceptance standards for type endorsement applications made in accordance with this

Appendix No. 4.

2. Acceptance Standards

2.1 Type rating endorsement applications, which are based on aircraft maintenance

qualifications not issued by the Civil Aviation Authority or type training equivalent to

Level 3 of ATA 104 Specification but not approved by the Civil Aviation Authority,

are subject to a competency verification on case by case basis. Applicant is required to

provide supporting document attesting completion of relevant training and evidencing

related working experience.

2.2 Exemption of OJT requirement for first type endorsement to the MAR-66 AMEL can

be considered subject to demonstration of appropriate evidence on aircraft

maintenance qualifications of aircraft/engine type with similar complexity.

2.3 Type ratings will only be endorsed to MAR-66 AMEL with appropriate Basic

Category / Sub-category.


Appendix No.4

AP-6 App-4 P.2 19 Dec 2013

2.4 When the privileges of the certification qualification are not equivalent to the full

privileges of the MAR-66 Category / Sub-category applied, the type rating

endorsement, if granted, will have appropriate limitations on the MAR-66 AMEL.

2.5 The Civil Aviation Authority will normally not consider the type rating endorsement

application if the applicant’s aircraft type training has been completed for more than

three years and without evidence of recent certification experience on the particular

aircraft / engine type.

AP-7 P.3 15 Mar 2013

1 copy of the proposed Maintenance Organisation Exposition; Any applicable contracts/agreements/letter of intent; and Application fees as applicable.

Additional document may be required upon the request of AACM. If necessary, AACM will meet the applicant after receiving the formal application package. All questions about the proposed scope of work, the formal application or any additional supporting documents should be resolved at this time.

iii. Document Compliance Phase

In this phase, the maintenance organisation exposition and related supporting documents are reviewed in order to ensure compliance to the MAR-145 and safe operating practices. If the exposition fails to comply with MAR-145 or deficiencies are found in any document, the exposition will be returned to the applicant with a letter outlining the deficient areas. Note that the certification process will not be continued until all the non-compliance areas are resolved.

iv. Demonstration and Inspection Phase

In this phase, the AACM surveyor team may conduct an audit to the applicant’s facilities to ensure that the applicant’s procedures are in practice and all MAR-145 requirements are complied with. If there is any finding about non-compliance with MAR-145, Corrective Action Reports (CAR) stating all the non-compliance areas will be issued to the organisation within one week after the audit visit. Upon receipt of the CAR forms, the organisation should review the non-compliance thoroughly and take appropriate actions. Note that the certification process will not be continued until all the non-compliance areas are resolved.

v. Certification Phase

Once the applicant meets the requirements of MAR-145, the AACM will issue the MAR-145 Approval Certificate (AACM Form Three), shown as Appendix No. 2, in associated with the Approval Schedule indicating the approved ratings to the organisation. An invoice will be addressed to the applicant for any outstanding balance shall be settled right after the application has been processed.

3. Renewal of MAR-145 Approval

3.1 Application

(a) MAR-145 Approved Maintenance Organisation should apply for renewal of the approval at least two months prior to the expiry date specified on the Approval Certificate.

(c) The application fees will be subjected to the cost of completing the certification process with reference to Para. 1.4. A quotation estimating the total cost will be provided to the applicant upon request. The actual charge may vary depending on the time and expenses of the certification process regardless of the result of applications.

3.2 Procedure

(a) After receiving the application for renewal from the organisation, the AACM surveyor team may conduct an audit to the applicant’s facilities to ensure that the applicant’s procedures are in practice and all MAR-145 requirements are complied with.

(b) If there is no finding about non-compliance with MAR-145, the AACM will issue

the MAR-145 Approval Certificate (AACM Form Three) in associated with the Approval Schedule indicating the approved ratings to the organisation.

(c) If there is any finding about non-compliance with MAR-145, Corrective Action

Reports (CAR) stating all the non-compliance areas will be issued to the organisation within one week after the audit visit. Upon reception of the CAR forms, the organisation should review the non-compliance thoroughly and propose corrective action plan to the AACM within two weeks. The corrective action plan will be reviewed by the AACM surveyors. When all findings are taken necessary actions by the organisation to the satisfactory of the AACM and there is no outstanding level 1 finding, the AACM will issue the MAR-145 Approval Certificate (AACM Form Three) in associated with the Approval Schedule indicating the approved ratings to the organisation.

(d) An invoice will be addressed to the applicant for any outstanding balance shall be

settled right after the application has been processed.

(e) If corrective action plan is unacceptable, AACM will reissue CAR forms or consider terminating the MAR-145 Approval of the applicant depending on the severity of the situation.

4. Variation of MAR-145 Approval

4.1 Application

(a) Application for variation of MAR-145 approval shall be made on AACM Form

Two and submitted to:


AP-7 P.5 15 Mar 2013

A quotation estimating the total cost will be provided to the applicant upon request. The actual charge may vary depending on the time and expenses of the certification process regardless of the result of applications.

4.2 Procedure

(a) The procedure for variation of MAR-145 approval will follow the procedure for grant of MAR-145 approval. Some phases may be eliminated depending on the nature of variation.

5. Non-compliance Findings

(a) Findings are categorised into the following 3 groups as follows of which Level 1

represents major non-compliance, Level 2 represents minor non-compliance and Level 3 represents in-compliance information observation rather than findings.

(b) Level 1 finding means any non-compliance with the MAR-145 or other regulation

which would lower the maintenance standard and probably hazard an aircraft. It includes non-compliance on aircraft components.

(c) Level 2 finding means any non-compliance with the Maintenance Regulation

which could lower the maintenance standard and possibly hazard an aircraft. It also includes non-compliance on aircraft components.

(d) Level 3 finding means an observation intended to give background information.

Level 3 must not include information suggesting non-compliance with the Maintenance Regulation. No regulatory action is required to be taken in the case of Level 3.

SUBJECT: Procedures and Basis for MAR-66 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licence

Examinations

1. Introduction

1.1 Paragraph 11(1) of the ANRM establishes that the Civil Aviation Authority may grant

aircraft maintenance engineer licences, subject to such conditions as it thinks fit, upon

it being satisfied that the applicant is a fit person to hold the licence and has furnished

such evidence and passed such examinations and tests as the Civil Aviation Authority

may require of him for the purpose of establishing that he has sufficient knowledge,

experience, competence and skill in aeronautical engineering. The MAR-66 specifies

the examination standard to be used by the Civil Aviation Authority when conducting

all basic examinations.

1.2 The purpose of this Airworthiness Procedure (AP) is to specify the basis and

procedures to be used for MAR-66 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licence (AMEL)

Examinations.


be paid at the time when the application is submitted.

2. Basis for examinations

2.1 Unless stated otherwise in Para 7, all examinations must be conducted under the

control of the Civil Aviation Authority.

2.2 Basic examinations are mainly carried out using the multi-choice question format to

ensure a reasonable consistent standard of knowledge. Questions are prepared with the

use of aviation English. In addition, there will be a need to set several essay type

questions to address the issues not examined under the multi-choice question format.

The primary purpose of essay questions is to determine that the candidates can express

themselves in a clear and concise manner and can prepare a concise technical report

for the maintenance record, which is why only a few essay questions are required.

3. Exemptions from MAR-66 AMEL examinations

in a basic Category/Sub-category or any extension to it, may be granted exemptions

from part or all of the MAR-66 AMEL examinations. The required modules and/or

subjects that have to be taken by the foreign licence holders are shown in Appendix

No. 1 of this AP.

3.3 Holders of an aircraft maintenance engineer licence issued by an aviation authority

other than the licences listed in Appendix No. 1 can apply to the Personnel Licensing

Office of Civil Aviation Authority for exemptions. A copy of the relevant aviation

requirements detailing the aircraft maintenance engineer licensing system and its

least one month for Civil Aviation Authority to complete each exemption assessment

after all the required foreign licensing documents are received.

4. Format, timeframe and pass standard for basic examinations

4.1 As the MAR-66 basic category modules contain varying numbers of subjects and

different levels dependant upon the MAR-66 AMEL category each module will require

a different number of multi-choice questions and may require essay questions to be

answered. A module is defined as any one of the 17 subject modules specified in

MAR-66 Section 2 Appendix No. 1.

4.2 The basic examination consists of two parts, multi-choice and essay question as

required.

4.3 The multi-choice of the basic examination is further divided into modular examination

papers. Each modular examination paper consists of multi-choice questions from the

respective module. The pass mark for each multi-choice examination modular paper is

75% with no penalty marking.

4.4 Each multi-choice question has 3 alternative answers of which only one of them is the

correct answer and the candidate is allowed the time specified in Para 5 per module

which is based upon a nominal average of 75 seconds per question.

4.5 For module 7, 9 and 10, essay questions are required. The pass mark for essay paper is

75%. The time allowed is based upon 20 minutes for each essay question.

4.6 Answer to an essay question must be presented in English. For each essay question,

75% of the full mark is allocated to the content whilst 25% of the full mark is allocated

to the presentation skill. The answer must contain the required key points addressed by

the question and no significant error related to any required key points.

AP-9 P.3 19 Dec 2013

4.7 For pass mark purposes, the essay questions should be considered as separated from

the multiple choice questions. If either the multi-choice part only or the essay part only

is failed, then it is only necessary to retake the multi-choice or essay part, as

appropriate. However, full fee of the respective module examination will be paid for

any retake application.

4.8 All MAR-66 modules that make up a complete MAR-66 aircraft maintenance engineer

licence Category or Sub-category must be passed within 10 years prior to the

application for an AME License except in the case specified in the below Para 4.9. An

applicant who fails any examination twice within a ninety day period may not re-sit

that examination until ninety days after the date of the last failed examination, except

in the case of a MAR-147 approved training organisation which conducts a course of

re-training tailored to the failed module and the failed module may be retaken after 30

days.

4.9 The time period specified in the above Para 4.8 does not apply to those modules which

are common to more than one MAR-66 AMEL Category or Sub-category and which

were previously passed as part of another such Category or Sub-category.

MAR-66 EXAMINATIONS FOR EXTENSIONS

TO BASIC LICENCE CATEGORIES

1. Introduction

Because the modular syllabus of MAR-66 often requires different levels of knowledge for the different licence categories (A, B1, B2 and B3) within a module, there are “conversion” examinations applicable to certain modules for licence holders wishing to extend a MAR-66 licence to include another category.

2. Requirements for extensions to Basic Licence Categories

Applicants wish to apply for extensions to Basic Licence Categories should approach the Civil Aviation Authority for details of the examination requirements.

SUBJECT: MAR-147 Maintenance Training Organisation Approval

1. Introduction

1.1 Pursuant to Paragraph 11(7) of the Air Navigation Regulation of Macao (ANRM), this document prescribes the implementation policy for MAR-147 approved maintenance training organisation and specifies the procedures to be followed to issue, vary or renew the MAR-147 maintenance training organisation approval to support the MAR-66 qualification process.

1.2 The MAR-147 maintenance training organisation may be approved to conduct either MAR-66 approved maintenance basic training course, MAR-66 approved aircraft type training course or both. In addition, the MAR-147 approved maintenance training organisation may conduct the examinations associated with the particular training course(s) and may examine persons who have not undertaken a training course with the organisation.


2. Effective Date

15 December 2015

3. Implementation Policy for MAR-147 approved Maintenance Training

3.1 MAR-147 is a requirement that addresses the approval of maintenance training organisations, the approval of the maintenance basic training course specified in MAR-66 and the approval of aircraft maintenance type training also specified in MAR-66. It is important to understand the difference between MAR-147 and MAR-66 which is that MAR-147 provides the basis for training to achieve the standard specified in MAR-66.

3.2 At this point in time, MAR-147 is only mandatory for the conduct of basic maintenance training where the student wishes to claim the maximum reduction in total experience specified in MAR-66.30 as permitted by AMC-66.30 (a). Notwithstanding the fact that MAR-66 caters for the basic category/sub-category self study candidate, it is the policy of the AACM to actively promote the use of maintenance training to qualify persons engaged in any aspect of maintenance and that such training be conducted by appropriately approved MAR-147 training organisations.

MAR-147 does however also permit a training organisation to be approved to carry out aircraft maintenance type training. Consequently, the training organisation may be approved in accordance with MAR-147 to conduct basic training or aircraft type training or both.

3.3 Any training organisation approved to MAR-147 will be listed in Appendix 4 of this AP. A training organisation may also take the form of a training department in a MAR-145 approved maintenance organisation but it will need to hold a MAR-147 approval to be recognised.

3.4 The approved MAR-147 training organisation may also be recognised by the AACM within the scope of approval to conduct examinations to the standard of MAR-66 and using the criteria of MAR-1 Airworthiness Procedure No. AP9.

A MAR-147 approved maintenance training organisation may also be approved or required by the AACM to conduct the examination of a candidate who did not undergo training at the organisation. Only the AACM may request such examination of a candidate for the purposes of qualification.

4. Approved Procedure in respect of MAR-147 applicability to organisations.

4.1 Except where stated otherwise in sub-paras 4.2 to 4.4, the organisation must apply on AACM Form Twelve, shown as in Appendix No.1, to the AACM. An organisation may have more than one training facility and may operate as either one MAR-147 organisation with one accountable manager or as separate MAR-147 approvals using separate accountable managers. The AACM recommends a single MAR-147 approval under one accountable manager particularly where a single corporate policy is invoked by the organisation.

4.2 Where the organisation has training facilities both inside and outside Macao to function under one Accountable Manager whose MAR-147.105(b) principal management is located in Macao then application on AACM Form Twelve must be made to the AACM, and one MAR-147 approval will be issued by the AACM.

4.3 Where the organisation is located outside Macao, the organisation must make application on AACM Form Twelve to the AACM and demonstrate need by providing evidence from Macao based approved MAR-145 maintenance organisation or from Macao based aviation organisation of the wish to use such organisation located outside Macao. Once need has been established, the AACM will investigate and issue MAR-147 approval.

4.4 Where the organisation has training facilities both inside and outside Macao to function under one Accountable Manager whose MAR-147.105(b) principal management is located outside Macao, then paragraph 4.3 will apply unless those training facilities located within Macao can be treated as separate MAR-147 organisations when paragraph 4.1 or 4.2 as appropriate may apply.

AP-10 P.3 15 Dec 2015

5. Grant of MAR-147 approval

5.1 Application

(a) Application for the MAR-147 Approval shall be made on AACM Form Twelve and submitted together with one copy of the proposed Maintenance Training Organisation Exposition (MTOE) and AACM Form Four, shown as in Appendix No. 3, for the accountable manager, each nominated manager and knowledge examiner and practical assessors concerned to:



5.2 Procedure

(a) The MAR-147 certification process consists of five phases:

• Pre-application Phase; • Formal Application Phase; • Document Compliance Phase; • Demonstration and Inspection Phase; and • Certification Phase.

i. Pre-application Phase

The organisation seeking for a MAR-147 approval should contact AACM for a pre-application meeting. During the pre-application meeting the following will be discussed:

• The intended scope of work; • Aviation-related experience; • Proposed organizational structure; • Potential customers; • Regulations and requirement applicable to the proposed maintenance training

operation; and • An overview of the whole certification process.

Besides, the applicant will be provided with the following material:

AP-10 P.4 15 Dec 2015

• AACM Form Twelve; • AACM Form Four for each person nominated to hold a position required by

MAR-147.105(a), (b) and for each examiner / practical assessor nominated in accordance with MAR-147.105(g);

• Air Navigation Regulation of Macao; • MAR-147 Approved Maintenance Training Organisations; and

The organisation should conduct a thorough review of the material for guidance of personnel, facility, equipment, and documentation requirements.

ii. Formal Application Phase

To begin the Formal Application Phase, the applicant should submit the application package including the following material to the AACM:

• A completed AACM Form Twelve; • AACM Form Four for each person nominated to hold a position required by

MAR-147.105(a), (b) and for each examiner nominated in accordance with MAR-147.105(g);

• Schedule of Event (SOE) • Any applicable course program, syllabus, curriculum and training course

analysis for the course to be conducted. • One copy of the proposed Maintenance Training Organisation Exposition; • Any applicable contracts/agreements/letter of intent; and • Application fees as applicable.

Additional document may be required upon the request of AACM. If necessary, AACM will meet the applicant after receiving the formal application package. All questions about the proposed scope of work, the formal application or any additional supporting documents should be resolved at this time.

iii. Document Compliance Phase

In this phase, the MTOE and related supporting documents are reviewed in order to ensure compliance to the MAR-147. Apart from needing to ensure that the exposition addresses the subject headings listed in MAR-147 Section 3, Appendix 2, the organisation should be encouraged to write the exposition to reflect the actual procedures of the organisation and not to please the AACM.

If the exposition fails to comply with MAR-147 or deficiencies are found in any document, the exposition will be returned to the applicant with a letter outlining the deficient areas. Note that the certification process will not be continued until all the non-compliance areas are resolved.

iv. Demonstration and Inspection Phase

In this phase, the AACM surveyor team may conduct an audit to the applicant’s facilities to ensure that the applicant’s procedures are in practice and all MAR-

AP-10 P.5 15 Dec 2015

147 requirements are complied with. The examination standards must be audited to ensure compliance with MAR-66 Section 2 Appendix 1 and 2 and using the criteria of MAR-1 Airworthiness Procedure No. AP9. If there is any finding about non-compliance with MAR-147, Corrective Action Reports (CAR) stating all the non-compliance areas will be issued to the organisation within one week after the audit visit. Upon receipt of the CAR forms, the organisation should review the non-compliance thoroughly and take appropriate actions. Note that the certification process will not be continued until all the non-compliance areas are resolved.

v. Certification Phase

Once the applicant meets the requirements of MAR-147, the AACM will issue the MAR-147 Approval Certificate (AACM Form Eleven), shown as in Appendix No. 2, in associated with the Approval Schedule indicating the approved ratings to the organisation.

An invoice will be addressed to the applicant for any outstanding balance shall be settled right after the application has been processed.

6. Renewal of MAR-147 approval

6.1 Application

(a) Renewal of MAR-147 approval should take place every 2 years.

(b) MAR-147 Approved Maintenance Training Organisation should apply for renewal of the approval at least two months prior to the expiry date specified on the Approval Certificate.

(c) Application for renewal of MAR-147 approval shall be made on AACM Form Twelve and submitted to:


(d) The application fees will be subjected to the cost of completing the certification process with reference to Para. 1.3. A quotation estimating the total cost will be provided to the applicant upon request. The actual charge may vary depending on the time and expenses of the certification process regardless of the result of applications.

6.2 Procedure

AP-10 P.6 15 Dec 2015

(a) After receiving the application for renewal from the organisation, the AACM surveyor team may conduct an audit to the applicant’s facilities to ensure that the applicant’s procedures are in practice and all MAR-147 requirements are complied with.

(b) If there is no finding about non-compliance with MAR-147, the AACM will issue the MAR-147 Approval Certificate (AACM Form Eleven) in associated with the Approval Schedule indicating the approved ratings to the organisation.

(c) If there is any finding about non-compliance with MAR-147, Corrective Action Reports (CAR) stating all the non-compliance areas will be issued to the organisation within one week after the audit visit. Upon reception of the CAR forms, the organisation should review the non-compliance thoroughly and propose corrective action plan to the AACM within two weeks. The corrective action plan will be reviewed by the AACM surveyors. When all findings are taken necessary actions by the organisation to the satisfactory of the AACM and there is no outstanding level 1 finding, the AACM will issue the MAR-147 Approval Certificate (AACM Form Eleven) in associated with the Approval Schedule indicating the approved ratings to the organisation.

(d) An invoice will be addressed to the applicant for any outstanding balance shall be settled right after the application has been processed.

(e) If corrective action plan is unacceptable, AACM will reissue CAR forms or consider terminating the MAR-147 Approval of the applicant depending on the severity of the situation.

7. Variation of MAR-147 approval

7.1 Application

(a) Application for variation of MAR-147 approval shall be made on AACM Form Twelve and submitted to:



7.2 Procedure

AP-10 P.7 15 Dec 2015

(a) Variation of the MAR-147 approval means either the need to amend the schedule of approved training courses or the need to approve or accept MAR-147.150 changes. The following paragraphs address the different scenarios involving variation.

(b) A change of name of the MAR-147 approved maintenance training organisation requires the organisation to submit a new AACM Form Twelve application as a matter of urgency stating that only the name of the organisation has changed including a copy of the organisation exposition with the new name. A name change alone does not require the AACM to audit the organisation, unless there is evidence that other aspects of the MAR-147 approved maintenance training organisation have changed.

(c) A change of Accountable Manager requires the MAR-147 approved maintenance training organisation to submit such fact to the AACM as a matter of urgency. The AACM Form Four may be used for this purpose but is not mandatory. It is essential that the new Accountable Manager signs the statement of commitment to compliance with MAR-147 as a matter of urgency. It should be noted that the approval is technically invalidated by a change of Accountable Manager until the new Accountable Manager has been accepted by the AACM.

(d) A change of any of the senior personnel specified in MAR-147.105(b) or the examination staff in MAR-147.105(g) other than the Accountable Manager requires the MAR-147 approved maintenance training organisation to submit an AACM Form Four in respect of the particular person to the AACM.

(e) Any change of location of the MAR-147 approved maintenance training organisation requires the organisation to make a new application on AACM Form Twelve to the AACM together with the submission of an amended exposition.

(f) Any additional basic or aircraft type training courses requires the MAR-147 approved maintenance training organisation to make a new application on AACM Form Twelve to the AACM together with the submission of an amended exposition. The AACM will follow the procedure of Grant of MAR-147 approval (paragraph 5.2) in so far as the change affects such procedures.

8. MAR-147 Findings

8.1 Findings are categorised into 2 groups as follows of which level 1 finding represents major non compliance, level 2 finding is any non-compliance with the training process other than level 1 finding. Apart from Level 1 and Level 2 findings, “Observation” may be issued by the AACM intended to give background information.

8.2 A level 1 finding means any significant non-compliance which would lower the safety standard. This includes one or more of the following: any significant non-compliance with the examination process which would probably invalidate the examination(s), failure to gain access to the MAR-147 approved maintenance training organisation facilities during normal operating hours after two written requests, the lack of an accountable manager and a significant non-compliance with the training process.

AP-10 P.8 15 Dec 2015

8.3 A level 2 finding means any non-compliance which could lower the safety standard. This includes any non-compliance with the training process other than level 1 finding.

SUBJECT: MAR-147 Training Course Standards

1. Introduction

1.1 Paragraph 11(1) of the ANRM, as revised by Aeronautical Circular (AC) with ref. AC/AW/006, establishes that the Civil Aviation Authority may grant aircraft maintenance engineer licences, subject to such conditions as it thinks fit, upon it being satisfied that the applicant is a fit person to hold the licence and has furnished such evidence and passed such examinations and tests as the Civil Aviation Authority may require of him for the purpose of establishing that he has sufficient knowledge, experience, competence and skill in aeronautical engineering. The MAR-66 specifies the examination standard to be used by the Civil Aviation Authority when conducting all basic examinations.

1.2 MAR-66 specifies the level of knowledge required to be demonstrated by examination and therefore this chapter provides guidance on the associated basic training standards. MAR-66 also specifies the standard for aircraft type training in category B1, B2 and C while aircraft task training for category A is at the standard required for each particular task as specified in the relevant maintenance manual.

1.3 In respect to basic training, the student should, upon satisfactory completion of such a training course, be able to use and apply his/her knowledge of the theory and basic principles of the various subjects in the manner indicated. It should be noted that the detailed knowledge objectives are defined in respect of the various basic levels of knowledge required and are indicative of the different levels of knowledge expected to be achieved for each MAR-66 basic category or sub-category. Some basic levels have been omitted because they are not required by MAR-66. Nothing prevents a MAR-147 approved maintenance training organisation from carrying out training to a higher standard than that required to achieve the MAR-66 examination standards.

1.4 The MAR-147 approved maintenance training organisation will need to prepare an objective analysis of how, in terms of time and content, it intends to deliver the various training courses that it is approved or intended to be approved to conduct such that both MAR-66 Section 2 Appendix 1 and MAR-147.200 are satisfied. The information contained in this chapter is intended to assist organisations in this process.

1.5 This AP should be read in conjunction with MAR-66 Section 2, Appendix 1, MAR-147.200 and MAR-1 Airworthiness Procedure AP9.
