Evidence of maintenance qualifications

In plain language

While you do not need to be a licensed aircraft engineer to maintain drones, you must prove to the CAA that your maintenance staff have the right skills and experience for the specific drones they service.

Requirement as structured

CAA NZ requires maintenance provider applicants to provide evidence that all personnel performing maintenance are sufficiently qualified and experienced for the specific aircraft types being serviced.

Original regulatory text

Individuals who carry out maintenance do not need to be licenced aircraft engineers or mechanics. However, you must provide evidence that anyone performing maintenance under your maintenance approval, is sufficiently qualified and experienced to conduct the proposed maintenance on the types of aircraft being serviced.
