Recommendation by company for Part 66 AML application
Hi
I have a query regarding the application for a part 66 Aircraft Maintenance License and was hoping someone on here has been in a similar situation or can shed some knowledge on the matter.
I have recently completed all the required theory examinations and experience requirements for a Part 66 B2 AML and am about to apply to the UK CAA for my basic license without type. On the application form under section 7 it requires a recommendation by your company (such as the quality or training manager).
The problem with this is that I am currently unemployed as I mostly undertake short term contract work and I will not be looking for work until later in the year as I had planned to do a type course after receiving my basic license. Has anyone been in a similar situation when applying for their license or could anyone offer some advice?
I have been in contact with the CAA Engineering Dept about this but they say it will take up to 30 days to answer the query!
Any help/advice would be much apprecaited
Cheers
ZESA

Staff on the desk use to sign it but you will have to take it in to gatwick. Will take a little longer to process due to a full review and validation of your logbook submitted. Give them a call

Thanks for the replies
[can (?) go back to your previous employer and ask the QAM there to sign it. He should do this if you gained your experience in their employment]
Unfortunately the quality manager at my last employer was not overly keen on signing his name next to a contractors application form, I have all my experience throughout my log book signed for, all I require is the recommendation on the application form.

I am expecting this will be the case too.When telephoned they asked me to email the Engineering Dept directly which has been done.

Thanks allot, it has been a long slug these few years but finally the goal is in sight! Just got to pay 320 pounds to go through them
