Draft Advisory Circulars: New
Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licensing (AMEL) Examination
Syllabuses
The AME basic licensing examination syllabuses are being amended. The new syllabuses have been updated to reflect current technology and work practices. They are also in an objectivised format, plainly stating the subject area and depth of knowledge required, and using standard verbs to describe the type of performance or activity to be demonstrated. The new syllabuses will assist training organisations and candidates prepare for the examinations by explicitly defining the knowledge requirements. The document “An Introduction To The New Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Basic Licensing Examination Syllabuses “ explaining these changes should be read before reviewing the draft Advisory Circulars.
Each of the syllabuses is contained in a stand-alone Advisory Circular, which will form part of the AC66-2.x series. The introductory document and draft Advisory Circulars are as follows:
