Simple aircraft maintenance license
I know this has been a political hot potato for a while, so it might interest a few people here that EASA has finally published proposals for a simple aircraft maintenance license.

From the 2 seconds I gave to reading it; seems they are proposing two new licences;
B3 licence: applicable to sailplanes, powered sailplanes and piston engine non-pressurised
aeroplanes below 2000 Kg MTOM.
It must be noted that this category of aircraft is not as wide as those covered by the ELA2
process, because it does not include rotorcraft, balloons and airships. In addition, it
includes sailplanes and powered-sailplanes.
• ELA licence: applicable to the following:
o Sailplanes, powered sailplanes and aeroplanes below 1000 Kg MTOM, not classified
as “complex motor-powered aircraft”
o Balloons
o Hot-air airships
o Manned gas airships meeting all the following elements:
(i) 3% maximum static heaviness
(ii) Non vectored thrust (except reverse thrust)
(iii) Conventional and simple design of the:
Structure
Control system
Ballonet system
(iv) Non power-assisted controls
