Can I suggest you all go and read the new updated Part 66
Reg 1149/2011 and the appendix releases
CAA web site is not fully updated as there is a lot to change
EDIT: QCM have some nice downloads FOC, Yes is a boring read but it will clarify things here is the link to the publications page
http://www.qcm.ch/en/publications/ See the one on part 66 and 147 if you not sleeping
EASA dont help themselves by using Poor English and grammer but if you wanted how the new reg looks at OJT (not Practical experience as they title it) see
http://easa.europa.eu/system/files/d...2012-004-R.pdf Page 18 onwards of the pdf and a really good chart on page 20 shows what boxes you need to tick
Another good link to 66 & amendmets is
http://easa.europa.eu/acceptable-mea...-group/part-66
I'm staying away from anything with refrence to a part 145 that holds a "Direct Course Approval" as it would confuse the issue even more, dont go there as it will really turn in a can or worms real fast
