Category B2L Licence Privileges

 Category B2L is a limited avionics and electrical maintenance licence category. It allows the licence holder to certify maintenance work within the electrical systems and specific avionics system ratings endorsed on their licence.

1. Scope of B2L Privileges

A Category B2L licence holder may exercise privileges in the following areas:

  • Electrical Systems: Maintenance and certification within the scope of the applicable licence privileges.

  • Specific Avionics System Ratings: Privileges are restricted to the avionics systems specifically endorsed on the licence.

  • Powerplant and Mechanical Systems: If the licence includes an Airframe System Rating, the holder may perform relevant electrical and avionics tasks within powerplant and mechanical systems, provided these tasks require only simple tests.

2. Practical Examples for AME Students

Maintenance task

B2L privilege

Electrical wiring inspection

Within electrical privileges

Electrical circuit testing

Within electrical privileges

Communication system maintenance

If appropriately rated

Navigation system maintenance

If appropriately rated

Electrical task in engine system

Subject to Airframe System Rating and simple-test limitation

Mechanical repair requiring troubleshooting

Outside this limited privilege

3. Important Examination Points

  1. B2L is a limited licence category.

  2. It covers electrical systems.

  3. Avionics privileges depend on specific system ratings endorsed on the licence.

  4. Airframe System Rating extends the relevant scope to certain electrical and avionics tasks in powerplant and mechanical systems.

  5. Such tasks must require only simple tests.

4. B2 vs B2L – Key Difference

Category B2

Category B2L

Broader avionics and electrical privileges

Limited electrical and rated avionics privileges

Covers avionics systems within B2 scope

Restricted to endorsed system ratings

Does not include Category A sub-category

Separate limited category


5. Instructor's Final Message

"A B2L licence does not give unlimited avionics privileges. Always check the system ratings endorsed on the licence before performing or certifying maintenance."

Safety → Licence Scope → Authorisation → Approved Data → Verification → Certification

Study reminder: Always refer to the applicable DGCA CAR-66 requirements and current licensing provisions. The exact privileges depend on the licence endorsements and applicable authorisation.

Propeller Installation for all fixed pitch propellers (except 1A162 model propellers).                   WARNING: MAKE SURE THE MAGNETO IS GROUNDED BEFORE INSTALLING  THE PROPELLER OR CONNECTING EXTERNAL POWER.                NOTE: McCauley recommends that propeller mounting nuts (if applicable) be replaced at each  propeller installation, whenever possible. However, nuts may be reused providing the threads are in good condition and the locking material prevents turning of the nut on the  stud by hand. Propeller mounting bolts must be magnetic particle inspected in accordance  with ASTM E-1444 or replaced whenever the propeller is removed from the engine.                NOTE: The aircraft maintenance manual or STC installation instructions should always be  consulted for any specialized procedures applicable to a specific aircraft....

Brake System Cessna 172

                             BRAKE SYSTEM -MAINTENANCE PRACTICES              1. Description and Operation A. The hydraulic brake system is comprised of two master cylinders, located immediately forward of the  pilot’s rudder pedals, brake lines and hoses, and single-disc, floating cylinder brake assemblies located at  each main landing gear wheel. B. The parking brake system is comprised of a pull-type handle and mechanical connections which are  linked to the rudder pedal assembly. Pulling aft on the brake handle applies mechanical pressure to the  rudder pedals, activating the brakes and locks the handle in place. Turning the handle 90 degrees will  release the parking brake and allow for normal operation through the rudder pedals. C. Brake operation is accomplished by pushing on the upper part of each rudder pedal. This motion i...
