The document discusses India's CAR 66, which establishes requirements for aircraft maintenance engineer licensing. It consolidates separate airframe, engine, electrical and instrument licenses into one license. CAR 66 licenses will be available through converting existing licenses or obtaining new licenses after passing modules. It covers technical requirements, applications, basic knowledge modules, experience requirements, and type ratings. CAR 66 aims to align India's licensing with international standards while allowing for transition from previous licensing rules.
