ACCEPTABLE MEANS OF COMPLIANCE
FORERWORD
This Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) has been prepared by Civil Aviation Authority of
Nepal to implement the basic requirements in the NCAR part 66, the requirements for the
licensing of aircraft maintenance personnel. The AMC contains the some of the means to
comply with the technical requirements in the NCAR part 66. This forms the guidelines to the
industry community. This part forms an integral part of NCAR part 66 which was issued
separately earlier.

where the holder of a NCAR Part -66 licence happens to be the owner of an aircraft and
carries out maintenance on his own aircraft, or where a licence holder maintains an
aircraft operated for low utilization, that does not allow the licence holder to
accumulate the required experience. This reduction should not be combined with the
20% reduction permitted when carrying out technical support, or maintenance planning,
continuing airworthiness management or engineering activities. To avoid a too long
period without experience, the working days should be spread over the intended 6
months period.
2. Nature of the experience:
Depending on the category of the aircraft maintenance licence, the following activities
are considered relevant for maintenance experience:
- Servicing;
- Inspection;
- Operational and functional testing;
- Trouble-shooting;
- Repairing;
- Modifying;
- Changing component;
- Supervising these activities;
- Releasing aircraft to service.
For category A certifying staff, the experience should include exercising the privileges,
by means of performing tasks related to the authorization on at least one aircraft type
for each licence subcategory. This means tasks as mentioned in AMC 145.30(g),
including servicing, component changes and simple defect rectifications.
For category B1 and B2, for every aircraft included in the authorization the experience
should be on that particular aircraft or on a similar aircraft within the same licence
subcategory. Two aircraft can be considered as similar when they have similar
technology, construction and comparable systems, which means equally equipped with
the following (as applicable to the licence category):
(a) Propulsion systems (piston or turboprop or turbofan or turboshaft or jet-
engine or push propellers); and
(b) Flight control systems (only mechanical controls or hydro-mechanically
powered controls or electro-mechanically powered controls); and
(c) Avionic systems (analog systems or digital systems); and

systems, including the engines, but this can be reduced to a minimum of two weeks for
applicant with such previous experience.
6. A programme of structured on-job-training (OJT) may be prepared to satisfy the
practical training requirement.
Where the practical training element is conducted by or under the responsibility of the
training organisation under a NCAR Part-147 approval or a direct type course approval, it
should be considered as Part of the approved course and as such, its acceptance by CAA
Nepal should be supported by a detailed syllabus showing its content and duration. The
individual practical training records should be designed in a manner that they
demonstrate compliance with the detailed practical training syllabus. Such records may
take the form of an individual training logbook. The logbook should be designed such that
tasks may be countersigned by the NCAR Part-147 school or other course provider.Where
the practical training element is conducted by a maintenance organization approved
under NCAR Part-145, under its own responsibility, its acceptance by CAA Nepal should be
supported by a detailed syllabus showing its content and duration. The individual practical
training records should be designed in a manner that they demonstrate compliance with
the detailed practical training syllabus. Alternatively, the practical training element may
consist of a structured OJT programme. In this case the maintenance organisation
approved under NCAR Part -145 should provide applicants for a type rating a logbook
indicating a list of tasks to be performed under supervision. The logbook should be
designed such that tasks may be countersigned by the supervisor. The list of tasks
should be accepted either directly for each individual depending on the individuals
previous experience, or indirectly through the acceptance of a procedure giving
delegation to the maintenance organisation.
In all cases the practical element should include an acceptable cross section of
maintenance tasks, which, in the case of a structured OJT, can be tailored to
accommodate the operating profile of the NCAR Part-145 organisation whilst also
supplementing the theoretical course elements. The means by which the practical
element is supervised and the control of the standard should be acceptable to CAA
Nepal. The duration of the practical type training element should take into account
significant differences between types and be acceptable to CAA Nepal. These
differences will require considerably more practical training for certifying staff who are
not familiar with the new techniques and technologies. Some examples of differences
may include, but are not limited to, the following elements: Fly by wire, glass cockpit
avionics, significant structural differences, etc.
7. Before grant of the aircraft type, the applicant should be able to:
(a) demonstrate by knowledge examination a detailed understanding of applicable
systems, their operation and maintenance;

(b) 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 trouble shooting, repairs,
adjustments, replacements, rigging and functional checks such as engine run, etc,
if required;
(c) correctly use all technical literature and documentation for the aircraft;
(d) correctly use specialist/special tooling and test equipment, perform removal and
replacement of components and modules unique to type, including any on-wing
maintenance activity.
8. The practical assessment should also 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 trouble
shooting, repairs, adjustments (rigging), replacements and functional / operational
checks etc including engine operation (ground running) if required.
