CAAM Part 66 Module 10 Aviation Legislation Exam · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
Module 10 Aviation Legislation is one of the knowledge modules in the aircraft maintenance engineer (AME) licensing framework administered by the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM). CAAM lists Aircraft Maintenance Engineer among its personnel licensing areas, alongside aerodrome licensing, air traffic controllers, flight crew and ground handlers, and publishes its legislation and regulations under headings that include General, Airworthiness, Air Operations, Aerodrome and Air Navigation Services. This module tests whether a candidate can find, read and apply that regulatory material rather than recite it. The four domains are regulatory bodies, CAAM Part 66 certifying staff, approved maintenance organisations, and aircraft maintenance. Topics on this exam: Regulatory Bodies, CAAM Part 66 - Certifying Staff - Maintenance, Approved Maintenance Organisations, and Aircraft Maintenance. The CAAM Part 66 Module 10 Aviation Legislation Exam study guide has 4 sections and about 1,141 words.

ICAO adopts Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) in Annexes.

Category A covers limited line maintenance tasks; B1 covers mechanical, airframe, powerplant and related systems; B2 covers avionics; category C is base maintenance certifying staff.

This domain tests the conditions under which a maintenance organisation may perform and release maintenance. The central document is the Part 145 approval and its scope. A CAAM Part 145 AMO must hold an approval that lists the aircraft types, components, and line or base maintenance it may support. The organisation maintains a Maintenance Organisation Exposition (MOE) describing its procedures, accountable manager, quality system, facilities, tooling, stores, personnel and record controls.
