  • Aircraft mechanics

    As a soon to be qualified aircraft mechanic (civvie) I was wondering what level the aer corps mechanics get trained to??? Is it to EASA standards and if so is it a, b1,b2??? Do the military mechanics have the same standards laid down upon them as the commercial airlines do with regards training and standards of maintenance???

    Hi there
    The Air Corps went fully over to the JAR system a few years ago, for pilots, techs and maintenance and flight operations.It's absolutely identical to civvie standards.

          True. Has to be relevant experience. Don't wanna work with light aircraft. Means too much hassle to change over. Might be an option in the future though. So an mro in nenagh. Where are the other 145 approved facilities for light aircraft in ireland.

            Hi there
            try Shamrock in Waterford or one of the helicopter crowds in Weston or even Sligo or Knock.Lots of them out there these days, for light aircraft.failing that, the big outfits in the usual places..There's nothing in Ernagh(South of nenagh).It's where the 182 operates, as part of a skydive school.Shamrock maintains it.

              What's the difference between JAR and EASA?

                One is a set of regulations, and the other is an organisation.

                    But JARs have been converted into EASA regulations.

                    Are the JARs and EASA regulations interchangable?

                    Just one is EU and the other is rest of world?

                      Everything is EASA now. JAR is dead. We're in the clutch of the Eurocrats now.

                        So is the AC moving from JAR to EASA?

                          By default, yes. The Air Corps, legally, parallels EASA in terms of certification of work and standards of maintenance, training, record keeping and so on, except for obvious exceptions like gunnery.

                            Yes except all training is military certified at the end of the day and not dependent on (like the IAA for example) what EASA may or may not dictate. Same with piloting but a lot of work has gone on over the years to establish recognition of qualifications for technicians and pilots with the IAA under JAR Ops. Why should a new organisation - be able to dictate new terms and conditions much of it aspirational and impractical. For those of you not in the know EASA does not make the job of a pilot or engineer any easier.
