OSD
In the table above, “OSD” means as defined in the operational suitability data established in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 748/2012, taking into consideration a report from the applicant for, or holder of, the aircraft type certificate that contains an assessment of the required theoretical elements of knowledge of the aircraft, considering the applicable licence (sub)category on which the aircraft type would be permitted for endorsement in accordance with point 66.A.3.
For the purpose of the table above, a tuition hour means 60 minutes of teaching and excludes any breaks, examination, revision, preparation and aircraft visit.
These hours apply only to theoretical courses for complete aircraft/ engine combinations according to the type rating as defined by the Agency.’;

Special chapters for aeroplanes with a power plant other than piston/turbine/electric and other than piston/turbine helicopters
Definition of special chapters of the theoretical element of the aircraft type training is available in the OSD of the aircraft, established in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 748/2012. For these aircraft, EASA can also consider as “not required” some of the chapters contained in the above table.
Special chapters for non-conventional aircraft
Definition of special chapters of the theoretical element of the aircraft type training is available in the OSD of the aircraft, established in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 748/2012.

B. Basic knowledge modules or part modules required
The purpose of this table is to outline the examinations required to add a new basic (sub)category to an AML granted in accordance with this Annex.
The syllabi prepared in accordance with Appendix I and Appendix VII require different levels of knowledge for different licence categories within a module; therefore, there are additional examinations applicable to certain modules for licence holders wishing to extend an AML granted in accordance with this Annex to include another (sub)category, and an analysis of the module shall be conducted to determine the subjects missing or passed at a lower level.
