Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a question about Certifying Staff Authorization Requirements for D1 Maintenance Rating under EASA Part-21 Subpart-G Production Organisation which produces Large Aeroplane.
Is an EASA Part-66 Licence required to authorize a Certifying Staff who will perform maintenance tasks and also issue EASA Form 53 certificate of release to service under D1 Maintenance Rating of EASA Part-21 Subpart-G POA?
Many thanks for your co-operation.
Best Regards,
No, there is no requirement for a Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence (AML) in the case of release with an EASA Form 53 under the D1 rating. 21.A.145(d) which refers to 21.A.163 documents (which includes the EASA Form 53) states that certifying staff needs appropriate knowledge, background and experience. So it is up to the POA to determine the certifying staff qualifications and for the Authority to approve these by approving the POE.
