CAFUC passes CCAR-147 examination

The Civil Aviation Flight University of China (CAFUC) officially earned the maintenance and training organization certificate from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) after passing the CCAR-147 examination. The CCAR-147 examination is a policy imposed by the CAAC on January 1, 2007. It is a certification which regulates China’s Civil Aircraft Maintenance Training Organizations, including flight and training institutions such as the CAFUC. The examination is part of the CAAC’s policy to hasten the development of civil aviation maintenance mechanics. CCAR-147 also aims to regulate and improve the management and supervision capabilities of organizations training maintenance professionals of civil aircraft. The certificate shows that CAFUC has achieved a high standard in civil aircraft maintenance training. So far, it is the only university in China to earn four certifications in a row awarded by the government. Apart from the CCAR-147 certification, the certificates simultaneously awarded to CAFUC include the basic skill certification and two professional licenses on civil aircraft maintenance on both written and oral examinations given by the CAAC. The CAAC’s CCAR-147 specifies and regulates facilities and equipment used for training. It also sets the required standard of the syllabus used in training, management manuals, organizational structures and staff composition. The CAAC requires that, to train civil aircraft maintenance professionals in China, training institutions must first qualify and pass the CCAR-147 examination.
