B3 engineer application.
Has anyone on this forum had encounters with this issue that I'm having with the CAA?
I am a experienced (20years) B2 engineer who has sat all the required modules to remove the limitations 10 & 11 (airframe &engine ) from his restricted B1 licence. One of these modules is 11A (airframe).
In the mean time I have also been getting work experience at a light aircraft maintenance company. So I applied for a B3 category.
The CAA rejected my application because I hadn't supplied a Module 11C certificate iaw the EASA modulisation table.
I would have thought that Module 11A is at a far higher level than 11C and would therefore 'trump' it. It indeed has the same paragraphs but mostly at level 3 rather than levels 1&2. I have appealed and have had it rejected.
I am unsure as how to proceed next. I thought the B3 category was brought in to help with the shortage of certifiers in the field of light aviation.
Does anyone know of a contact, information or any previous experience in this field?
Best Regards.
Steve.
