Operational Airworthiness
CARs STD 566.03(8)(b) 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.
