Regulatory Requirement
What is OJT and Why is it Mandatory?
Under EASA Part-66, candidates for a Category B1 or B2 Aircraft Maintenance Licence must demonstrate practical on-the-job experience at an approved Part-145 maintenance organisation. This is not optional — no OJT means no licence.
OJT hours must be documented task-by-task in an EASA-standard logbook, countersigned by a licensed Category B engineer, and submitted with your licence application to the relevant competent authority.
Harmonics Air Centre's OJT programme handles every element of this process — from MRO placement and visa documentation to logbook management and final licence application guidance.
