Notice to Part 66 applicants
With effect from August 5, 2024, it will be mandatory to sign up for an IAA MySRS account for all Part 66 AML applications and licence-related queries. From that date, all applications will be processed via the MySRS platform, and licences will be issued in digital format. Paper-based licences will no longer be issued.
The IAA is requesting all existing Part 66 licence holders to sign up for an IAA MySRS account as soon as possible to ensure a smooth transition. Potential applicants should also create an account to facilitate their application process.
For additional guidance, refer to PLAM 038 titled: Transition to MySRS for Part 66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence Applications.
Licence types
There are two types of Aircraft Maintenance Licenses currently recognised by the Irish Aviation Authority:
- Aircraft Maintenance Licenses (AML's), commonly referred to as a Part 66 Licence.
- Aircraft Maintenance Engineers' Licences (AMEL's), commonly referred to as a National Licence.
Aircraft Maintenance Licenses (AML's) are issued in accordance with the requirements of Commission Regulation (EC) Nr. 1321/2014 Annex II (Part 66) for aircraft that are subject to European Regulation (EC) 2018/1139. This is the Part 66 licence that is normally issued.
Aircraft Maintenance Engineers' Licences (AMEL's) are issued in accordance with the Irish Aviation Authority (Personnel Licensing Order) SI 333 of 2000. These licences are referred to national licences. With effect from 28th September 2010 the privileges of a national licence may only be used for the certification of maintenance performed on aircraft which are not subject to (EC) 2018/1139.
Irish registered aircraft which are not subject to European regulation (EC) 2018/1139 may have maintenance certified by persons holding the appropriate rating on their national Aircraft Maintenance Engineer's Licences (AMEL) in accordance with the privileges stated in Irish Aviation Authority (Personnel Licensing Order) SI 333 of 2000.
