1. EASA Part 145 states that component certifying staff shall comply with Part 66. A check of Part 66 reveals that at the present time there are no licences for component certifying staff and that they should continue to be certified in accordance with the applicable national standards. In the UK this is covered by British Civil Airworthiness Requirements (BCARs).

• There are certain cases in which maintenance can be carried out by non licence holders, these mostly concern activities outside the EU or when the aircraft is away from base. If an organisation is based outside the EU but gains EASA Part 145 approval it would be very difficult and expensive to only be able to employ Part 66 licence holders as certifying and support staff. Provision is made for them to use holders of licences issued in that country instead. Another exception is where an aircraft is stuck at a remote location and there is no EASA Part 145 organisation there who can repair it. In this case a local licensed engineer with the relevant experience and training could be given a one off authorisation to carry out the job. In some cases a repetitive preflight airworthiness directive can be carried out by the flight crew and not necessarily by a Part 66 licence holder.In both of the above cases the EASA Part 145 organisation must establish the competence of the person to carry out the work and must keep a record of all details.
