Introduction
This report details information about the similarities and differences between the licensing systems of Civil Aviation Authority United Kingdom ( CAA UK) and Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) in the United States of America. Furthermore, there will be a discussion about the impacts and implications should the local authorities of Singapore were to adopt any of the aforementioned systems instead of the SAR-66 which is currently being employed.
Overview of CAA UK part 66 and FAR part 65
The governing regulations for all aviation activities in the USA are consolidated in to the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR). These are set under the direction of the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA). However, we will only be looking in to the part 66 subpart D of FAR which concerns the Mechanics and the licensing requirements necessary for the issue of an Aircraft Maintenance License in the USA. This is under FAR part 65 – Certification: Airmen and Other Flight Crewmembers. In the United Kingdom the governing authority which oversees all administration and regulations regarding all aspects of Aviation is the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) which is a public corporation established under the terms of the Civil Aviation Act. We will be going in to details of the CAA UK part 66 which includes all the requirements which are necessary for the issue of an Aircraft Maintenance License. We will proceed to the comparing of these two licensing systems and identifying the similarities and the differences of both systems.
