part66 categories
Thank you NUTLOOSE and others,
Finally contacted someone in licencing who knew something, a certain ms Janet Cox (I think)
Apparently at the changeover, EASA decided that any part 66 licenced engineer could sign out compass swings, so made it an endemic (?) part of part 66 but did not tell anybody but hid it in some obscure part of EASA land paperwork.
So any part 66 licenced engineer can now sign off Compass swings without passing what was Cat X para 15 etc etc exams.
No big sweat but how many part 66 engineers know the 10 reasons for a Compass swing, how to adjust a P3 compass and so on...
What is the point of having categories if you can achieve them by post, as it were.
Excuse the bleating of an oldtime professional.
