Note 1 This is a rule. Module 11A is required for maintenance of turbine powered aeroplanes. Module 11B is required for maintenance of piston powered aeroplanes.
Note 2 See regulation 66.018 of CASR for the subcategories of category B1 licences and the kind of aircraft in relation to which category B1 licences and category B2 licences may be granted.
Note 3 Category B1 modular licence subcategories are identified in this table by kind of aircraft (aeroplane, helicopter), relevant category B1 licence subcategories and relevant aircraft system. The words ‘Airframe’, ‘Piston’ or ‘Turbine’ included in brackets in a heading regarding a subcategory of B1 licence means that the licence would be granted subject to exclusions so that it is limited to privileges relating to those aircraft systems. Category B2 modular licences are identified in the table by the aircraft system to which privileges are similarly limited. The table headings signify the nature of the modular licence to be issued. However, a modular licence is issued as a category B1 licence with exclusions or a category B2 licence with exclusions and will not have expressed on it the kind of aircraft and relevant aircraft system.

1 General
1.1 All basic examinations must be carried out using the multi-choice question format and essay questions as specified below. The incorrect alternatives must seem equally plausible to anyone ignorant of the subject. All of the alternatives should be clearly related to the question and of similar vocabulary, grammatical construction and length. In numerical questions, the incorrect answers should correspond to procedural errors such as corrections applied in the wrong sense or incorrect unit conversions: they must not be mere random numbers.
1.2 Each multi-choice question must have 3 alternative answers of which only 1 must be the correct answer and the candidate must be allowed a time per module which is based upon a nominal average of 75 seconds per question.
1.3 Each essay question requires the preparation of a written answer and the candidate must be allowed 20 minutes to answer each such question.
1.4 Suitable essay questions must be drafted and evaluated using the knowledge syllabus in Appendix I, Modules 7, 9 and 10.
1.5 Each question will have a model answer drafted for it, which will also include any known alternative answers that may be relevant for other subdivisions.
1.6 The model answer will also be broken down into a list of important points known as Key Points.
1.7 The pass mark for each module, or sub-module, multi-choice part of the examination is 75%.
1.8 The pass mark for each essay question is 75% in that the candidate’s answer must contain 75% of the required key points addressed by the question and no significant error related to any required key point.
1.9 If either the multi-choice part or the essay part is failed, then it is only necessary to retake the multi-choice or essay part, as appropriate.
1.10 Penalty marking systems must not be used to determine whether a candidate has passed.
1.11 A module examination that a candidate has failed for the first time may be retaken by the candidate at any time after the date of the candidate’s first attempt of the module examination.
1.11A A module examination that a candidate has failed for the second time may not be retaken by the candidate for at least 30 days after the date of the candidate’s second attempt of the module examination.
1.11B After a set of 3 failed attempts at a module examination, a candidate may not retake the module examination for at least 6 months after the date of the candidate’s last failed attempt of the module examination.
1.11C If clause 1.11B applies and a candidate fails their next attempt of the module examination that was retaken after the “standdown” period of at least 6 months mentioned in clause 1.11B:
(a) clause 1.11 applies in relation to the timing of the candidate’s following attempt of the module examination as if it was the candidate’s second attempt of the module examination; and
(b) if the candidate fails the module examination attempt mentioned in paragraph (a), clause 1.11A applies to the timing of the candidate’s next attempt of the module examination as if it was the candidate’s third attempt.
Note The intent of clause 1.11C is to apply the “timing cycle” set out in clauses 1.11 to 1.11B to each set of 3 failed module examinations.
1.12 The period mentioned in paragraph 66.A.25 (ea) for the passing of a module examination does not apply if the examination has been passed by a candidate in relation to another category, or subcategory, of aircraft engineer licence held by the candidate.
1.13 After each set of 3 failed attempts by a candidate of a module examination, the candidate must give, after the last of the 3 failed attempts, written notice of the following to the body (an MTO or CASA) to which the candidate applies to sit the examination again:
(a) the number, and dates, of attempts by the candidate of the examination;
(b) for each examination attempt notified by the candidate — details of the body (an MTO or CASA) that conducted the examination.
Note The MTO or CASA, as applicable, is responsible for verifying the number, and dates, of attempts by the candidate of the examination.

Part 2 — Type training theoretical elements
Although aircraft type training includes both theoretical and practical elements, courses can be approved for the theoretical element, the practical element or for a combination of both.
1 Objective:
On completion of a theoretical training course, the student must be able to demonstrate, to the levels identified in the Appendix III syllabus, the detailed theoretical knowledge of the aircraft’s applicable systems, structure, operations, maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting according to approved maintenance data. The student must be able to demonstrate the use of manuals and approved procedures, including the knowledge of relevant inspections and limitations.
2 Level of training:
Training levels are those levels defined in Part 1 above. After the first type course for Category C certifying staff, all subsequent courses need only be to Level 1. During a Level 3 theoretical training, Level 1 and Level 2 training material may be used to teach the full scope of the chapter if required. However, during the training the majority of the course material and training time must be at the higher level.
3 Duration:
The theoretical training minimum tuition hours are contained in the following table:
| Category | Hours |
Aeroplanes with a maximum take‑off mass above 30 000 kg | B1.1 | 150 |
B1.2 | 120 | |
B2 | 100 | |
C | 30 | |
Aeroplanes with a maximum take‑off mass equal to, or less than, 30 000 kg and above 5 700 kg | B1.1 | 120 |
B1.2 | 100 | |
B2 | 100 | |
C | 25 | |
Large helicopters | B1.3 | 120 |
B2 | 100 | |
C | 25 |
(a) For the purpose of the table above, tuition hour means 60 minutes of teaching and excludes any breaks, examination, revision, preparation and aircraft visits.
(b) Hours prescribed in the table above apply only to theoretical courses for complete aircraft/engine combinations according to the type rating as defined by CASA.
Minimum participation time is at least 90% of the tuition hours of the theoretical training course. Additional training may be given by the training organisation in order to meet the minimum participation time. The number of tuition hours per day for the theoretical training must not exceed 8 hours, which must be performed during regular office hours; in exceptional cases, deviation from this standard may be envisaged when justified. This maximum number of hours is also applicable for the combination of theoretical and practical training, when they are performed at the same time.
4 Justification of course duration:
When applying for approval of a Part 147 course, or a course to be approved directly by CASA, the proposed hour duration must be justified and shown to cover the full syllabus by a training needs analysis based on:
(a) the design of the aircraft type, its maintenance needs and the types of operation; and
(b) detailed analysis of applicable chapters – see contents table below; and
(c) detailed competency analysis showing that the objectives as stated in paragraph 2.1 (a) above are fully met; and
(d) information based on approved type design, if necessary.
Tuition hours of differences courses, and other training course combinations, such as combined B1/B2 courses, must be justified to CASA by the training needs analysis as described above.
5 Content:
As a minimum, the elements in the syllabus below, that are specific to the aircraft type, must be covered. Additional elements introduced due to type variations, technological changes etc. must also be included. The training syllabus should be focused on mechanical, powerplant, structural and electrical aspects for B1 personnel, and electrical and avionic aspects for B2.

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.
(g) The minimum examination pass mark is 75%. When the type training examination is split into several examinations, each examination must be passed with at least a 75% pass mark. For it to be possible to achieve exactly a 75% pass mark, the number of questions in the examination must be a multiple of 4.
(h) Penalty marking is not to be used to determine whether a candidate has passed.
(i) End of module phase examinations cannot be used as part of the final examination unless they contain the correct number and level of questions required.
(j) It is accepted that during a Level 3 examination, Level 1 and Level 2 questions may be used to examine the full scope of the course material. However, during the examination it is not acceptable to use more than 25% of questions at any lower level such that the intention of the higher examination level is reduced.
Note Penalty marking means deducting marks for an incorrect answer.
B Practical element — assessment standard
1 For assessment of practical elements of type training, the assessment must be oral, written or practical assessment based, or a combination of all of these. Conduct of the assessment method must be in accordance with the AMO’s or MTO’s exposition.

(section 66.A.35, para 66.A.45 (h) and 66.A.70 (d))
Note 1 An AMO in accordance with section 145.A.37 of the Part 145 MOS, or a COA holder in accordance with Civil Aviation Order 104.0 (Certificates of approval — application, grant and conditions) (a CAR 30 organisation), may deliver excluded system training and assessment for the excluded systems set out in this Appendix — see paragraph 66.A.45 (h).
Note 2 See regulation 66.110 of CASR and subsection 66.A.70 (c) of this MOS for requirements for removal of these exclusions on type ratings.
Eligibility for removal of an exclusion from an aircraft type rating is only established by first having the affiliated exclusion removed from the category (e.g. a B1.1 with a propeller exclusion would first need to gain the appropriate category training from an MTO before an AMO could provide rating exclusion removal training for the propeller system).

Type rated aircraft types and type rating endorsements for Category B1, B2 or C licences
Note Large aircraft (aeroplanes over 5 700 kg maximum take-off weight (MTOW), multi-engine helicopters, and aircraft (including, where appropriate, a particular engine type) that CASA has designated as requiring a type rating, generally form the basis of the type rated aircraft types listed in Appendix IX. CASA has also designated certain small aircraft and specific engines as requiring a type rating on the basis that, taking into account issues such as complexity, new technology, ATSB recommendations or other safety issues, type training will enhance aviation safety.
Note These aeroplanes are large or designated as large — requiring type training and endorsement of type rating on the relevant licence category.
