Getting Your Part-66 Licence: What You Need From the Military

If you’ve worked on aircraft, helicopters or jets during your service and you’re applying for a Part-66 licence, the UK CAA has specific requirements for the paperwork you’ll need from your chain of command.

Why this matters: Under 66.A.30(e), the CAA needs to see that you understand the civil aircraft maintenance environment. It’s not just about your technical knowledge, but how it applies in a civilian context, which can differ from military practice.

Who needs to write your letter

You’ll need correspondence from your MOD employer. This could be an Engineering Officer, your Officer Commanding (OC), or the Military Aviation Authority (or the equivalent body if you served in a non-UK military).

Important: The letter must be written by your Engineering Officer or OC directly. It cannot be drafted by you and simply passed along for a signature.

What the letter must include

Official headed paper, with an official stamp or seal
Your personal details, clearly stated
A detailed account of your military aviation experience, including:
- Dates
- Aircraft types
- Aircraft systems you worked on
- Your specific interaction with those systems, meaning the actual work you performed
Any other relevant experience that maps to Part-66 requirements (for example, basic electrical hand skills)

Not sufficient: Simply listing ATA chapters with a generic statement of experience. A standard service testimonial also won’t meet the requirement. It’s not detailed enough.

What to leave out

The letter should read as a chronology of your aircraft engineering experience, not a CV. Try to avoid including:

References to managerial positions
Military or combat related activities

Length and detail

There’s no need to pad it out, but more detail is better. As a guide, these letters typically run to 6 to 7 pages, depending on your experience.

If there’s a gap between what your service letter covers and what Part-66 requires, you’ll need to fill that gap by demonstrating the missing experience through your civilian work record.
