Online exam preparation course
The online preparation does not include the performance of the practical part and therefore, it does not give the right to the recognition of the experience credits in the maintenance of operational aircraft provided for by 66.A.30.
Online preparation course
Who is the course for?
The online exam preparation course is aimed at all those who:
- while wishing to pursue a specialized career in the aeronautical sector as maintenance technicians and mechanics for the Categories B1.1 (Airplanes with turbine engines) or B1.2 (Airplanes with piston engines) or B2 (Avionics) and without having previously having gained any kind of experience in this field, they do not have the possibility to attend a course in the classroom;
- although already in possession of some training credits for the issuing of the Aeronautical Maintenance (LMA) License of Categories B1.1 or B1.2 or B2 they wish to complete their theoretical training course;
- while already in possession of a license of Aeronautical Maintenance (LMA) they need to remove the limitations on their license.
The contents and levels of knowledge of online preparation comply with the provisions of Appendix I to Annex III (Part 66) of European Regulation 1321/2014.

Teaching materials
This type of course allows students to study directly from home via the site’s e-learning platform. Upon registration, credentials will be provided to access it. On the site the student can view the text books (Training Notes in English) of the module (s), view some video lessons (in Italian and English), carry out progressive and final self-assessment tests and communicate with a tutor available to answer any questions that may arise during the individual study.
Course duration and training location
In this case, there is no standard duration for the course as the timing and study are managed freely by the candidate; it can be done at home or anywhere else using a personal computer with Internet connection. The only constraint is represented by the final exams established by the Organization which will be held at its headquarters.
Interactive online seminars
At the end of each theoretical module carried out in e-learning mode, the candidate will be able to participate in a review seminar which will be streamed online before the exam is administered.
This shared lesson mode allows you to organize a video conference, whose main feature is interactivity. The AEA instructor will use the online platform to carry out his review lesson, and all connected students will be able to actively participate in the lesson, ask questions and listen to the interventions of the other connected students. All this is possible thanks to a free application for the student, available for every device (smartphone, tablet, computer) and compatible with all operating systems.
Exams
The examination of each module consists of a variable number of multiple-choice questions (3 alternatives) and for some modules (M7A-M9A-M10) also with one or two open-ended questions. The grade required to pass the examination of each module must be greater than or equal to 75%. The exam sessions are guaranteed with a minimum number of two participants.
Certificates of passing the final exam
Upon passing each theoretical exam, a “Certificate of Recognition” is issued, valid in all member states of the EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency).
Exam calendar
To know the dates of the module exams you can consult the Calendar or contact the secretary’s office of the Organisation.
Practical Part
The online preparation does not include the performance of the practical part and therefore, it does not give the right to the recognition of the experience credits in the maintenance of operational aircraft provided for by 66.A.30.
With regard to PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE, the following are required:
- 5 YEARS of practical experience on operating aircraft for the issue of the cat license B1.1;
- 3 YEARS of practical experience on operating aircraft for the issue of the cat license B1.2;
- 5 YEARS of practical experience on operating aircraft for the issue of the cat license B2.
