EASA questionnaire:
1- Why did you choose EASA instead of the FAA license?
I didn’t, I had a UK CAA AMEL Section L license that was converted to an EASA Part66 License then did the additional modules to remove restrictions. There were no FAA job at the time.
2- Did the EASA modules contents were helpful in your everyday work life?
Yes.
3- Did you think there is any advantages of having an EASA license compare to the FAA license.
Yes… you can get a job in Europe with a Part66 license. There are not many ‘N’ registered aircraft in Europe to support very many of us committing to that regulatory regime.
4- Are you satisfied with the way the module has been set?
If not, which amendments would u like the EASA to bring forward?
Yes satisfied.
5- Do you think mechanics and technicians that have loads of experience on specific type of aircraft should be allowed more work that can be stamped like license engineers?
No.
6- Do you think that there should be an examination on practical skills like the FAA license?
There is when you do your type rating – specific to type.
7- Do you think type rating should be only done by written exams or depending on practical skills you have acquired on the specific aircraft or both of them?
Both, the job is talking and doing.
8- Are the type rating classes helpful after when working on the shop floor, if yes how do they help ?
Yes, very helpful.
9- Should EASA license change their licensing system more towards FAA or another type, if yes in what way they can amend the system ?
No.
10- After completing the EASA license, would you recommend it to others or would you have chosen the FAA license instead ?
Of course, it’s in effect the only way to get a job in Europe.
Good luck with the course!
As a suggestion you may want to consider the EASA license, Part66 in its entirety which includes the Part147 practical elements deficient in the FAA regime.
