Explanation and language translation of content in EASA Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance licence

Due to the introduction of regulatory change (EU) 2018/1142 for continued airworthiness, the template for the EASA Part-66 licence (EASA form 26) has been expanded with more categories and also with more text.

This means that the certificate becomes very difficult to read, as the text must be reduced in the template to accommodate all the information.

For that reason, the Swedish Transport Agency has decided to remove the Swedish text from the certificates and only follow the regulatory requirement from EASA.

There it is described that the certificate must be designed with English text. To still be clear, a translation table has been produced based on the divisions found in the template. More information can be found in the document Explanation and language translation of EASA Part-66 aircraft maintenance licence (form 26) according to Part-66:
