Recognition of Bundeswehr service periods as experience in aircraft maintenance

As aircraft technical personnel of the German Armed Forces or former members of the German Armed Forces, you can have all or part of the experience required for the maintenance of civil aircraft recognized by the Federal Aviation Office (LBA) under certain conditions.

The degree of equivalence of maintenance on military aircraft and aviation equipment compared to that on civil aircraft determines the level of recognition.

Certain activities are assigned to each aircraft on the basis of the relevant training and activity numbers (ATN) or the identification number in the Bundeswehr's activity information procedure (TIV-ID).

If you already have a DEMAR 66 license, this can also be used as proof of experience for certain categories.

The LBA is responsible for recognizing periods of service in the Bundeswehr.

You can submit the application for recognition of military service online via the federal portal.
