Why EASA ?

Market Demand*
 Commercial Aircraft Fleet Growing
 Current Fleet = 17,000.
 Projected Increase in Fleet by 2026 = 28,000
 Not Enough Maintenance Personnel
 Current Annual Demand Worldwide for AMT= 70,000
 Current Annual Training Capacity Worldwide = 52,000
 Increased Annual Demand Worldwide by 2026 = 24,000
 Current and Projected Training Capacity Increase Needed to Meet Demand = 42,000
• * Data from ICAO NGAP Task Force

Market Demand - Continued
It is important to note that the growth in the commercial aviation fleet is not in
North America.
The majority of the countries in the world are following EASA training and
licensing directives.
The shortage in training capacity both current and projected is not in North
America.
Conclusion – The demand is and will be for EASA Trained and Licensed
Maintenance Engineers.

International Recognition

Opportunity
Meet the demand for EASA trained maintenance engineers by
offering EASA Part 147 approved training.

EASA and FAA
How Do They Compare

EASA vs FAA
Key Differences
EASA Part 66:
1. Requires more training hours
2. Requires more training in specific technologies.
3. Has more license categories.
4. Requires aircraft-specific training and certification.
5. Requires recurrent training.
6. Training and syllabus.

Some Options For Adopting EASA
Certification/Training
B1 with A & P
B2 Avionics
Category “A” License with A & P License
Testing

B1 with A&P Dual Certification
• Estimated 2,800 hour program
• B1 curriculum can be either integrated with the A & P curriculum or
as an add-on “differences” course

B2 Avionics Certification
• The B2 avionics path is similar to the B1 option
• 2400 Hour Program
• Your curricula will be stand-alone and does not need to be meshed with the
separate requirements of an FAA program.
• This eliminates the most difficult task required by those developing a dual
B1/FAA program.

Category A License with A & P License
• While A&P is a higher rating, thus limiting the benefit of a dual
A&P/Category-A license, a few points can be considered.
1. Having a Category-A will allow an A&P to legally work in any EASA aligned
country and will provide advantage when applying to many of the 1500+
EASA Part 145s in the US.
2. The 1900+ hour A&P curricula already covers practically all that is needed to
include a Category-A in a current program. Less than 100 additional hours
will be required to cover EASA Legislation and Human Factors.

Additional Revenue -EASA Testing Option
• Testing Experienced A & P’s who want an EASA License
1. Those exams must be given by an EASA accredited Part 147 school.
2. An accredited school is entitled to set up other testing locations.
• Opportunities
1. Revenue from a share of student testing fees.
2. Offering of non-accredited review and exam prep classes.
3. Ongoing educational opportunities for alumni.
4. A valuable licensing service to offer the local 145 community and major student
employers.
5. Early establishment of a school’s EASA reputation and experience in your region.
6. Accustom teaching staff to working with the EASA Part 66 curricula.
7. Allows exploration of the demand for EASA licensing in a market with minimal
expense and committed time.
