M1 And M2 Licenses? What Is The Difference?

[Elvis]

More confusing crap from CARs

 

 

APPENDIX A

 

AME LICENCE RATING M1 AND M2 : AIRCRAFT

 

 

 

The M1 and M2 ratings are dependent upon the aircraft type certification basis and propulsion system. The scope of maintenance release privileges includes all specialized and non-specialized work and can be assessed generically as follows:

 

 

M1

 

- Aircraft built to CAR 522, 523, 523-VLA, 527, 549, and equivalent standards, but excluding turbojet aircraft.

 

- Includes gliders, small piston powered, and small turboprop aircraft.

 

M2

All aircraft (excluding balloons) not included in M1, which include (but is not limited to), aircraft built to CAR 525, 529, and equivalent standards.

Includes all turbojet aircraft.

As a general reference the following table can be used when assessing aircraft and equivalent standards. This table is not exhaustive and was developed primarily for older aircraft, where the certification basis may be difficult to identify.

APPENDIX B

 

 

CARs STD 566.03(8)( permits holders of either an M1 or M2 rated AME licence to sign a maintenance release for certain aircraft types without holding a rating appropriate to the aeronautical product being maintained. This will enable either M1 or M2 rated AME licence holders to sign maintenance releases in respect of the maintenance of turbine-powered helicopters and SFAR 41C aeroplanes, including their associated Commuter Category variants and derivatives.

 

This applies to all holders of Canadian AME licences endorsed with either an M1 or M2 aircraft rating when signing maintenance releases for the following aircraft:

 

Aircraft Type/Model Basis of Certification AME Rating

All Turbine-Powered Helicopters Various M1 or M2

Beechcraft 300 SFAR 41C M1 or M2

B300/B300C FAR 23 M1 or M2

1900/1900C SFAR 41C M1 or M2

1900D FAR 23 M1 or M2

British Aerospace

Jetstream Series 3100 Model 3112 FAR 23/SFAR 41C M1 or M2

Jetstream Series 3200 Model 3212 AWM 523 M1 or M2
