How to become EASA Licensed Engineer

Roadmap to Becoming an EASA Licensed Engineer: A Step-by-Step Guide

Curious about the journey to becoming an EASA Licensed Engineer? Here’s a concise guide to help you navigate the steps and reach your goal:

🖋 Step 1: Pass Basic Part 66 Modules

Begin by clearing the Basic Part 66 Module exams and obtaining certificates from an EASA-approved 147 school.

📝 Step 2: Obtain Basic AML

After completing Step 1, apply to an EASA regulatory authority with the necessary forms, documents, and logged work experience in your Personal Logbook (3 years for Category A, 5 years for B1/B2). Some authorities may accept DGCA-approved 145 organization logbooks. Once your Basic License is issued, you can apply to organizations in Europe and the Middle East, such as Ryanair, Etihad, Lufthansa, and Qatar.

✈ Step 3: Type Training

With your Basic AML in hand, undergo type training for a specific aircraft. It’s recommended to start with the A320 or B737 as your first type rating course.

⚒ Step 4: SOJT Program

Upon passing the theoretical and practical exams for your chosen aircraft, complete the mandatory Structured On-the-Job Training (SOJT) program for your first type endorsement at an EASA-approved organization. Common SOJT programs are available for A320 and B737. After completing SOJT, apply to the EASA regulatory authority for your first Aircraft Maintenance License (AML) with the required documents. Note: No SOJT is needed for subsequent type endorsements.

🛫 Step 5: Start Certifying Aircraft

Once authorized by your working organization, you can begin certifying aircraft.

Embark on this exciting journey and achieve your dream of becoming an EASA Licensed Engineer.
