Three classic exam-day traps

AMC/GM are guidance, not law

The hard law sits in Regulations (EU) 1321/2014, 748/2012, 965/2012 etc. AMC and GM are acceptable means — you may use alternatives, provided you can demonstrate equivalent compliance.

B1 includes A — but only the matching subcategory

B1.1 (turbine aeroplanes) automatically carries A1 privileges, B1.2 carries A2, and so on. B1.1 does not grant A3 or any B2 privilege — a frequent distractor on the paper.

72 hours vs 30 days for occurrence reports

Regulation (EU) 376/2014 mandates submission within 72 hours of awareness. The 30-day figure refers to follow-up analysis by the competent authority, not the initial report.

What Module 10 covers — in plain English

Module 10 is the legislation module — the regulatory backbone every licensed aircraft maintenance engineer operates inside. It is one of the more memorisation-heavy modules in the EASA Part66 syllabus, dealing less with how aircraft work and more with who is allowed to do what, under which approval, recorded for how long, and reported to whom. The syllabus was substantially rewritten by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/989 (effective 12 June 2024), which added new sub-sections on independent certifying staff, oversight principles in continuing airworthiness, maintenance beyond current EU regulations, and — for the first time — cybersecurity in aviation maintenance under Part-IS.

You are expected to know how the regulatory hierarchy fits together. ICAO sets the global Standards and Recommended Practices through the 19 Annexes to the Chicago Convention; the European Commission turns the relevant ones into Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 (the EASA Basic Regulation); and EASA issues the implementing rules — including Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014, whose annexes you will reference daily (Part-M, Part-145, Part66, Part-147, Part-ML, Part-CAMO, Part-CAO). Sitting alongside the hard law are the AMC, GM and CS issued by EASA: acceptable means of compliance and guidance, not binding rules. Most exam questions are direct recall of specific articles — pass marks, retention periods, CAT II/III decision heights, licence privileges, occurrence-reporting timelines — so a slow first pass through the regulation text pays off more here than in the engineering modules.

All five licence categories (A, B1, B2, B2L, B3) sit Module 10, but the question count differs: 44 questions in 55 minutes for B1, B2 and B2L; 32 questions in 40 minutes for A and B3. Knowledge levels are mostly 1 and 2 across the section, with one level-3 sub-section (10.4 Independent Certifying Staff) reserved for the B-categories — Cat A candidates skip 10.4 and 10.9 entirely. The newer cybersecurity sub-section (10.10) is level 1 for everyone and is best approached after the rest of the module sits comfortably, because it draws on terminology from Part-IS that does not appear elsewhere in the Part66 syllabus. The full per-section knowledge-level breakdown is on our Module 10 syllabus page.

These samples are drawn from our live Module 10 question bank of 500 questions. The full timed practice quiz draws 44 questions per attempt (or 32 for Cat A), scored against the official EASA 75 % pass mark, with weak-area tracking across attempts.

Take the timed practice quiz
Q1 Regulatory Framework · ICAO

The total number of ICAO Annexes is:

  1. A 12, covering the essential elements of international civil aviation operations
  2. B 19, covering subjects from personnel licensing to safety management systems
  3. C 25, covering all aspects of aviation from design to airport security measures
Reveal answer + explanation Hide answer
Correct answer: B19, covering subjects from personnel licensing to safety management systems
ICAO publishes 19 Annexes to the Chicago Convention, ranging from Annex 1 (Personnel Licensing) through Annex 6 (Operation of Aircraft) and Annex 8 (Airworthiness) to Annex 19 (Safety Management). They form the global SARPs framework adopted by all contracting states.
Q2 Regulatory Framework · Occurrence Reporting

Under Regulation (EU) No 376/2014, mandatory occurrence reports must be submitted:

  1. A Within 72 hours of becoming aware that an occurrence falls into a reportable category
  2. B Within 30 calendar days of the occurrence being formally investigated and documented
  3. C Within 24 hours of the occurrence happening regardless of its categorisation status
Reveal answer + explanation Hide answer
Correct answer: AWithin 72 hours of becoming aware that an occurrence falls into a reportable category
Regulation (EU) 376/2014 Article 4 sets the mandatory window at 72 hours of awareness, not 72 hours from the event itself. The clock starts when the organisation determines the occurrence is reportable, which is why classification training matters as much as the timeline.
Q3 Certifying Staff · Examinations

The pass mark for Part66 multi-choice examination modules is:

  1. A 70 percent of the total marks available for that particular examination module
  2. B 75 percent of the total marks available for that particular examination module
  3. C 80 percent of the total marks available for that particular examination module
Reveal answer + explanation Hide answer
Correct answer: B75 percent of the total marks available for that particular examination module
Appendix II to Part66 fixes the pass mark for both multi-choice and essay questions at 75%. There is a one-mark penalty per incorrect MCQ answer, and the essay element (where applicable) is marked separately against published criteria.
Q4 Certifying Staff · Licence Privileges

A Category B1.1 licence automatically includes privileges of:

  1. A Category A1, allowing minor scheduled line maintenance on turbine aeroplanes as well
  2. B Category A3, allowing minor scheduled line maintenance on turbine helicopters as well
  3. C Category B2, allowing full avionic system maintenance on all types of aircraft
Reveal answer + explanation Hide answer
Correct answer: ACategory A1, allowing minor scheduled line maintenance on turbine aeroplanes as well
Each B1 subcategory inherits the matching A subcategory: B1.1 → A1 (turbine aeroplanes), B1.2 → A2 (piston aeroplanes), B1.3 → A3 (turbine helicopters), B1.4 → A4. B1 never inherits B2 privileges — avionic certification is a separate licence track.
Q5 Maintenance Organisations · CRS

A Certificate of Release to Service (CRS) certifies that:

  1. A The aircraft has been manufactured in conformity with the approved production data
  2. B The aircraft design complies with the applicable type certificate data sheet requirements
  3. C The maintenance was properly carried out in accordance with approved data and procedures
Reveal answer + explanation Hide answer
Correct answer: CThe maintenance was properly carried out in accordance with approved data and procedures
The CRS is the post-maintenance attestation — it confirms the work was done correctly, using approved data and procedures. Manufacturing conformity is covered by EASA Form 1 from a POA, and design conformity by the Type Certificate; do not confuse the three.
Q6 Air Operations · CAT II/III

CAT II approach has a decision height lower than 60m but not lower than:

  1. A 15 metres (50 feet) with RVR not less than 175 metres for the approach to be conducted
  2. B 30 metres (100 feet) with RVR not less than 300 metres for the approach to be conducted
  3. C 60 metres (200 feet) with RVR not less than 550 metres for the approach to be conducted
Reveal answer + explanation Hide answer
Correct answer: B30 metres (100 feet) with RVR not less than 300 metres for the approach to be conducted
CAT II is defined as a precision approach with a DH below 60 m (200 ft) but not lower than 30 m (100 ft) and RVR not less than 300 m. CAT IIIA goes below 30 m DH; the 60 m / 550 m figure is the CAT I minimum.
Q7 Continuing Airworthiness · Records

Technical log entries must be retained for at least:

  1. A 12 months after the date of the last entry made in the aircraft technical log system
  2. B 36 months after the date of the last entry made in the aircraft technical log system
  3. C 60 months after the date of the last entry made in the aircraft technical log system
Reveal answer + explanation Hide answer
Correct answer: B36 months after the date of the last entry made in the aircraft technical log system
Aircraft Technical Log entries are retained for a minimum of 36 months after the last entry, per the Part-M / Part-CAMO records requirements. Detailed maintenance records and CRS data carry their own (longer) retention windows under Part-145.A.55.
