Practical Exam B787 (GEnx , RR Trent 1000)
The Practical Examination is the final step in the B787 Type Training course, designed to evaluate an engineer’s ability to perform and demonstrate hands-on maintenance tasks on the Boeing 787 aircraft fitted with GEnx or Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines. The assessment ensures that the participant not only possesses theoretical knowledge, but is also capable of applying it in a live maintenance environment, in line with EASA/UK CAA Part-147 requirements. Successful completion of this exam contributes to the endorsement of the B787 (GEnx/RR Trent 1000) type rating on the candidate’s Part-66 AML.
