B2 License

[raymundosonny]

Good day Sir/Madam;

I am Sonny from Philippines. I have a few inquiry to ask.

I am worked in aviation since 2005 under Approved Maintenance Organization ( Part 145 ), which is Lufthansa Technik Philippines. I have my maintenance license in 2007 issued by Philippine Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines. I have finished a JAR66 Basic Course and passed all the modules.
My question is;
1. Is my license issued in Philippines can be converted to EASA B2 license?
2. If not, where and how can I apply for one? and what are the pre-requisites?

Any information are gladly appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Unfortunately no,You have to start from scratch doing all the modules and writing a logbook.

Were those JAR66 modules from a recognised EASA part 147 training establishment? If so, who?

If yes, then you can apply to an EASA member state of your choice for an EASA licence, however your licence will not be endorsed until you have completed your first type rating course from an EASA 147 training school.

If your modules are not from a part 147 school, then I'm afraid you'll have to start from the beginning.

Don't forget the B2 Modules vary slightly from the B1. If you did the B1 Modules, you may need to pass those Modules which have B2 variations.

Also don't forget that the Modules and application must all be completed within a certain period.....I forget what it is, though, which is unhelpful. I think it's either 5 or 10 years.

Re Part 147. You do NOT need to have studied at a Part 147 MTO UNLESS you did the full 2400++ hour full-time approved course. This may be what you mean by a Basic course, and the certificate you should hold at the end is a Basic Training Certificate, issued by the Part 147-approved MTO. That course would have included Practical Training (800 hours or so) and structured OJT in a Part 145-approved MRO. (400 hours or so).

The alternate route is simply to pass all the required Modules (only, no Practical or OJT) by taking the Module exams iaw Part 66, within the set period (as above) and acquire rather longer work experience. If you do it that way, where you study (possibly just at home, even) is not relevant, and does not have to be Part 147 approved.

You obviously have the required work experience whichever route you are going. I hope it is carefully logged.....
