Rationalising Aircraft Maintenance Technician Licensing

Abstract

Aircraft maintenance engineer licensing commenced in the United Kingdom in 1919, and in the U.S.A. a few years later, for the good reason it was considered essential to aircraft safety that the persons maintaining aircraft should have a high level of competency. Both States held that it was a function of the State to assess the competency and award the licence, although subsequently there have been some deviations from this principle in the United Kingdom.
