## 145.A.35(n) Category B2 aircraft maintenance licence

(n) The holder of a category B2 [aircraft](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/aircraft) [maintenance](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/maintenance) licence may only exercise the certification privileges described in point 66.A.20(a)(3)(ii) of Annex III (Part-66) following the satisfactory completion of:

(i) the relevant category A aircraft task training; and

(ii) 6 months of documented practical experience covering the scope of the authorisation that will be issued.

The task training shall include practical hands on training and theoretical training as appropriate for each task authorised. Satisfactory completion of training shall be demonstrated by an examination or by workplace assessment. Task training and examination/assessment shall be carried out by the maintenance [organisation](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/organisation) issuing the [certifying staff](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/certifying-staff) authorisation. The practical experience shall be also obtained within such maintenance organisation.

AMC Acceptable means of compliance

## AMC1 145.A.35(n) Certifying staff and support staff

1\. The privilege for a B2 licence holder to release minor scheduled line [maintenance](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/maintenance) and simple defect rectification in accordance with 66.A.20(a)(3)(ii) can only be granted by the Part-145 approved [organisation](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/organisation) where the licence holder is employed/contracted after meeting all the requirements specified in 145.A.35(o). This privilege cannot be transferred to another Part-145 approved organisation.

2\. When a B2 licence holder already holds a [certifying staff](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/certifying-staff) authorisation containing minor scheduled line maintenance and simple defect rectification for a particular [aircraft](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/aircraft) type, new tasks relevant to category A can be added to that type without requiring another 6 months of experience. However, task training (theoretical plus practical hands-on) and examination/assessment for these additional tasks is still required.

3\. When the certifying staff authorisation intends to cover several aircraft types, the experience may be combined within a single 6-month period.

4\. For the addition of new types to the certifying staff authorisation, another 6 months should be required unless the aircraft is considered similar per AMC 66.A.20(b)2 to the one already held.

5\. The term ‘6 months of experience’ may include full-time employment or part-time employment. The important aspect is that the person has been involved during a period of 6 months (not necessarily every day) in those tasks which are going to be part of the authorisation.
