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 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.
