Market Demand* Commercial Aircraft Fleet Growing
Current Fleet = 17,000.
Projected Increase in Fleet by 2026 = 28,000
Not Enough Maintenance Personnel Current Annual Demand Worldwide for AMT= 70,000
Current Annual Training Capacity Worldwide = 52,000
Increased Annual Demand Worldwide by 2026 = 24,000
Current and Projected Training Capacity Increase Needed to Meet Demand = 42,000

Market Demand - ContinuedIt is important to note that the growth in the commercial aviation fleet is not in
North America.The majority of the countries in the world are following EASA training and
licensing directives.The shortage in training capacity both current and projected is not in North
America.
Conclusion – The demand is and will be for EASA Trained and Licensed Maintenance Engineers.

Some Options For Adopting EASA Certification/Training
B1 with A & PB2 AvionicsCategory “A” License with A & P LicenseTesting
www.atbconsultgroup.com 16
B1 with A&P Dual Certification• Estimated 2,800 hour program• B1 curriculum can be either integrated with the A & P curriculum or
as an add-on “differences” course
www.atbconsultgroup.com 17
B2 Avionics Certification• The B2 avionics path is similar to the B1 option
• 2400 Hour Program • Your curricula will be stand-alone and does not need to be meshed with the
separate requirements of an FAA program. • This eliminates the most difficult task required by those developing a dual
B1/FAA program.
www.atbconsultgroup.com 18
Category A License with A & P License
• While A&P is a higher rating, thus limiting the benefit of a dual A&P/Category-A license, a few points can be considered.
1. Having a Category-A will allow an A&P to legally work in any EASA aligned country and will provide advantage when applying to many of the 1500+ EASA Part 145s in the US.
2. The 1900+ hour A&P curricula already covers practically all that is needed to include a Category-A in a current program. Less than 100 additional hours will be required to cover EASA Legislation and Human Factors.

Additional Revenue -EASA Testing Option
• Testing Experienced A & P’s who want an EASA License1. Those exams must be given by an EASA accredited Part 147 school.2. An accredited school is entitled to set up other testing locations.
• Opportunities1. Revenue from a share of student testing fees.2. Offering of non-accredited review and exam prep classes.3. Ongoing educational opportunities for alumni. 4. A valuable licensing service to offer the local 145 community and major student employers.5. Early establishment of a school’s EASA reputation and experience in your region. 6. Accustom teaching staff to working with the EASA Part 66 curricula.7. Allows exploration of the demand for EASA licensing in a market with minimal expense and
committed time.

Other Considerations1. Quality Management System
• ISO Quality Management System (QMS) principles are the foundation for evaluating Part 147 certifications
• Ensure end product conforms to regulation.
2. What does this mean for a U.S. Part 147 AMTS• QMS system must be in place to satisfy EASA• The Maintenance Training Organization Exposition (MTOE) is a roadmap for a
QMS system• Requires personnel to manage the QMS system
www.atbconsultgroup.com 23
Process• Prepare MTOE (Maintenance Training Organization Exposition).• Four Major Sections:
