Total Training Support's Integrated Training System. We are sure you will
need no other reference material to pass your EASA Part-66 exam in this Module.
These notes have been written by instructors of EASA Part-66 courses,
specifically for practitioners of varying experience within the aircraft
maintenance industry, and especially those who are self-studying to pass the
EASA Part-66 exams.
They are specifically designed to meet the EASA Part-66 syllabus and to answer
the questions being asked by the UK CAA in their examinations.
The EASA Part-66 syllabus for each sub-section is printed at the beginning of
each of the chapters in these course notes and is used as the “Learning
Objectives”.
We
suggest that you take each chapter in-turn, read the text of the chapter a
couple of times, if only to familiarise yourself with the location of the
information contained within. Then, using your club66pro.co.uk
membership, attempt the questions within the respective sub-section, and
continually refer back to these notes to read-up on the underpinning knowledge
required to answer the respective question, and any similar question that you
may encounter on your real Part-66 examination. Studying this way, with the help
of the question practice and their explanations, you will be able to master the
subject piece-by-piece, and become proficient in the subject matter, as well as
proficient in answering the CAA style EASA part-66 multiple choice questions.
The course
notes are written to suit Licence category 'B1' and 'B2', but are also suitable
for Licence category 'A'.

membership (Module 5) voucher. This allows you unlimited EASA Part-66 question
practice and feedback within the membership period.
The
Tutorial Support service allows you to ask any question you wish, regarding
any of the multiple-choice questions on the question practice website, or about
any subject within these course notes that you may need additional assistance
with. A Subject Specialist will respond to your query within hours
- often within minutes.
With the
Tutorial Support service, you are also provided with links to additional
online source material for full explanations to most of the multiple-choice
questions, thus giving you access to an unrivalled and fully Integrated
Training System.

All notes
provided by Total Training Support come with the following feedback
service:
If you
encounter any question either within the respective module on the club66
professional website (www.club66pro.co.uk)
or in your actual Part-66 exam, which cannot be answered anywhere within these
notes, please email us the question. One of our subject specialists will review
the question, and if necessary, add an additional explanation into these notes.
We will email you back the answer they provide.
