Licence question

[Edgar Jessop]

I'm in the process of doing my Part 66 B1 module exams and soon will have the full set. I won't have sufficient hands-on experience to put towards the full licence but my question is, can I apply to the CAA for any form of licence based on just the completion of the exams?

[Capot]

No.

Just for interest, have you done Module 10 yet? Especially 10.2?

I can recommend a good read of Part 66.A.30 if you are not familiar with it.

It Depends....

The B1 category licence also includes the A licence by default. If you have sufficient hands on experience to cover the A licence requirements then the CAA have granted people A licences on completion of all the B1 modules.
I know several people who have done this whilst completing the last of their 5 years experience requirement for the B1.1.
Every day is a learning day.

If you have enough PART 145 experince for an A licence, you can apply for that with the B1 module certs..

[Edgar Jessop]

Thanks all, even Capot I pretty much thought that was the case, the old suspended licence thing no longer exists but some people who should know better told me it did.

Onwards and upwards

Further question for anyone with the info to hand, slight change of subject. What do you understand by a "B Amendment", is it laid down anywhere what this constitutes and similarly is there such a thing as an "A Amendment"?

[Capot]

You are right, it was an ungracious response! And unhelpful, as the others showed. I read "I won't have sufficient hands-on experience" as "I have no hands-on experience" which is not what you meant.

Good luck!
