EASA Module 16 · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.

Module 16 is the EASA Part-66 knowledge module covering the regulatory framework that surrounds aircraft maintenance: Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 on continuing airworthiness, together with the annexes commonly known as Part-66 (aircraft maintenance licence), Part-M (continuing airworthiness management), Part-145 (maintenance organisations) and Part-147 (training organisations). It is aimed at candidates working toward a Part-66 aircraft maintenance licence, and at mechanics, certifying staff and quality or compliance personnel who need to understand how licensing, organisation approval and continuing airworthiness obligations fit together. The exam is delivered as multiple choice questions and tests recall and application of regulatory structure rather than hands-on maintenance skill. Expect questions on which regulation or annex governs a given activity, the roles and responsibilities of the licence holder, the approved maintenance organisation and the continuing airworthiness management organisation, and how training and examination requirements are set. Topics on this exam: Aircraft maintenance licensing and continuing airworthiness regulatory framework (Part-66 / Part-M / Part-145 / Part-147). The EASA Module 16 study guide has 1 section and about 541 words.

Regulatory framework: Part-66 licensing, Part-M continuing airworthiness, Part-145 organisations, Part-147 training

Module 16 items in this domain are boundary questions: they describe an act - releasing an engine, approving a maintenance programme, running a type course - and ask who may do it and under which annex of Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014. Answer with three probes: is the aircraft used in commercial air transport (CAT); is the item an aircraft or a component; and is the certificate held by a person or by an organisation. Basic Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 empowers EASA; 1321/2014 carries the detailed rules as Annex I Part-M, Annex II Part-145, Annex III Part-66 and Annex IV Part-147. Part-ML (Reg (EU) 2019/1383, applicable 24 March 2020) covers most aircraft at or below 2730 kg not used in CAT; Part-M Subpart F remains for the other non-CAT aircraft.
