 ISSUANCE, RENEWAL AND EXTENSION OF ANO-066 AML

D7.14.7. CONDUCT OF OJT:

D7.14.7.1. The organisation providing the on-the-job training should provide
trainees with a schedule or plan indicating the list of tasks to be
performed under supervision. A record of the tasks completed
should be entered into a logbook which should be designed such
that each task or group of tasks is countersigned by the
corresponding supervisor(s). The logbook format and its use should
be clearly defined.
D7.14.7.2. Regarding the day-to-day supervision of the OJT programme in the
approved maintenance organisation and the role of the
supervisor(s), the following should be considered:
a) It is sufficient that the completion of individual OJT tasks is
confirmed by the supervisor(s), without being necessary the
direct evaluation of the assessor.
b) During the day-to-day OJT performance, the supervision aims at
overseeing the complete process, including task completion, use
of manuals and procedures, observance of safety measures,
warnings and recommendations and adequate behaviour in the
maintenance environment.
c) The supervisor(s) should personally observe the work being
performed to ensure the safe completeness and should be readily
available for consultation, if needed during the OJT performance.
d) The supervisor(s) should countersign the tasks and release the
maintenance tasks as the trainee is still not qualified to do so.
e) The supervisor(s) should therefore:
i. have certifying staff or support staff privileges relevant to the
OJT tasks;
ii. be safety-orientated;
iii. be capable to instruct (setting objectives, giving training,
performing supervision, handling trainee’s reactions,
managing objectively and positively debriefing sessions,
determining the need for extra training etc);
iv. be designated by the approved maintenance organisation
to carry out the supervision.
D7.14.8. ASSESSMENT:
D7.14.8.1. The assessment of OJT should focus on the competencies relevant
to the aircraft type and its maintenance including, but not limited to:
a) Environmental awareness (act safely, apply safety precautions
and prevent dangerous situations);
b) Systems integration (demonstrate understanding of aircraft
systems interaction – identify, describe, explain, plan, execute);
c) Knowledge and understanding of areas requiring special
emphasis or novelty;
d) Using reports and indications (the ability to read and interpret);
e) Aircraft documentation finding and handling (identify the
appropriate aircraft documentation, navigate, execute and obey
the prescribed maintenance procedures);
f) Perform maintenance actions (demonstrate safe handling of
aircraft, engines, components and tools);
g) Aircraft final/close-up and report (apply close up, initiate
appropriate actions/follow-up/ records of testing, establish and

assessment process being undertaken and should be approved
and authorised to do so by the quality head of organisation.

aircraft type rating requirements” mentioned in Appendix-B of this notice and forward one set
of all documents to Airworthiness Directorate alongwith clear recommendations.
D7.17. Where applicable, applicants for type endorsement will be examined as per oral examination
schedule given in Appendix ‘C’ to this notice.
D8. RENEWAL OF AML VALIDITY

D8.1. Applicant shall submit application for renewal of AML on PCAA Form-19 in local
Airworthiness field office atleast 30 days before its expiry date. Any late submission will call

Para MNL.066.B.500, recommendations will be forwarded to HQs. Airworthiness Directorate
for renewal of AML for the further duration of two (02) years.
D8.4. If PCAA records are different from the aircraft maintenance license held by the license
