Technical Training

During the last years, air transport has grown rapidly, with special focus on maintaining high levels of safety. Airgreen Training Centre has been approved by PART-147, according to the EASA procedures. It offers basic training courses, type courses, training courses for skilled workers (both theoretical and practical).

BASIC COURSES

Basic courses are for beginners who wish to start a career in the aviation as mechanics or maintenance operators; even if they did not previously acquired any type of experience in this field.
The following courses are available for the basic training:

Exams sessions, held at Airgreen Training Centre, are open also for students who have followed the basic courses at other Organisations and also for self-taught persons.
After the exam, the Certificate of Recognition is issued to the successful candidates; this Certificate has validity all over the EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) countries.

SUPPLEMENTARY COURSES

Supplementary courses are held in order to offer supplementary training to those candidates who wants to attend the exams without having followed the related basic training course. The supplementary training has the objective to summarise the subjects required by the European regulation and to integrate any weaknesses of the candidate in order to achieve the necessary level of knowledge to attend the exam. In these cases special exam sessions are held at the end of each supplementary course.

The schedule of the courses/exams is also available.

TYPE COURSES

Type courses are intended for technicians who have already obtained the Aircraft Maintenance License. Airgreen Training Centre offers courses focused on both the airframe and the engine of every aircraft of which it has obtained the Certification, according to Part 145.
These courses can be very detailed, according to the requirements of the regulation (UE) 1321/2014 and subsequent revisions.
 
Currently, Airgreen Training Centre provides the following courses:

Type courses are organized on a demand basis, when a minimum number of attendants is achieved.
They can be organized also at the Customer’s site. At the end of the course, a final exam is held. After the exam, the Certificate of Recognition is issued to the candidate; this Certificate has validity all over the EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) countries.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Aircraft maintenance operator is a technician, specialized in performing aircraft maintenance activity in order to keep the airworthiness.
He is responsible for certifying the maintenance of the aircraft, in order to guarantee the safety of operations and the airworthiness of engines and components, as required by national and international regulations. It is a highly skilled job, very appreciated in the aircraft industry.

AML LICENSE

EASA has issued a common procedure about the training of an aircraft maintenance operator (Regulation (UE) 1321/2014 and subsequent, Annex III-Part-66).
Part 66 describes the criteria, in terms of theoretical knowledge and practical experience.
The certification of the qualified personnel is stated by an Aircraft Maintenance License (AML).
AML includes the following categories:

• Category A – Mechanics
• Category B1 – Technician – Mechanic
• Category B2 – Technician – Avionics
• Category B3 -  Technician – Mechanic
• Category C - Base Maintenance Certifying Engineer

Categories A and B1 are subdivided according to different combinations of aircraft, helicopters, turbine and piston engines:

• A1 and B1.1 Aeroplanes Turbine
• A2 and B1.2 Aeroplanes Piston
• A3 and B1.3 Helicopters Turbine
• A4 and B1.4 Helicopters Piston

MAINTENANCE CATEGORIES

CATEGORY A (MECHANICS)

Category A aircraft maintenance licence permits the holder to issue certificates of release to service following minor scheduled line maintenance and simple defect rectification within the limits of tasks specifically endorsed on the authorisation. The certification privileges shall be restricted to work that the licence holder has personally performed in the Part-145 organisation that issued the certification authorisation.

• Category A has 4 subcategories:
• Category A1 – Aeroplanes Turbine
• Category A2 – Aeroplanes Piston
• Category A3 – Helicopters Turbine
• Category A4 – Helicopters Piston

CATEGORY B1 (TECHNICIAN-MECHANIC)

A category B1 aircraft maintenance licence shall permit the holder to issue certificates of release to service following maintenance, including aircraft structure, powerplant and mechanical and electrical systems. Replacement of avionic line replaceable units, requiring simple tests to prove their serviceability, shall also be included in the privileges. Category B1 automatically includes the appropriate A subcategory.

• Category B1 has 4 subcategories:
• Category B1.1 – Aeroplanes Turbine
• Category B1.2 – Aeroplanes Piston
• Category B1.3 – Helicopters Turbine
• Category B1.4 –Helicopters Piston

CATEGORY B2 (TECHNICAL-AVIONICS)

A category B2 Aircraft Maintenance Licence shall permit the holder to issue certificates of release to service following maintenance on avionic and electrical systems.

CATEGORY B3 (TECHNICAL-MECHANICS)

A Category B3 aircraft maintenance licence shall permit the holder to issue certificates of release to service following maintenance on non-pressurised piston engine aeroplanes, sailplanes and motor-powered sailplanes with MTOM less than 2000 Kg, requiring simple tests to prove their serviceability.

CATEGORY C

A category C aircraft maintenance licence shall permit the holder to issue certificates of release to service following base maintenance on aircraft. The privileges apply to the aircraft in its entirety in a Part-145 organisation.
