![Page 18: July 2015 Future Defence Aviation Safety Regulation Module 6 - EMAR Part 66 – Military Aircraft Maintenance Licensing](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649ed15503460f94be05b3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Main differences between TAREG and EMAR
• TAREGs do not use licences and leave competency assessments of individuals up to the SMM.
• EMAR 66 licence training requirements very prescriptive.
• However EMAR 66 permits ‘national equivalent’ systems and processes :– The services trade structure is broadly equivalent to
licences, in that the trade, skill grades and rank structure identifies individual’s scope and level
– Units’ task authorisation (iaw -059) is directly comparable with EMARs authorisation requirements
