    Annex to ED Decision 2015/020/R The text of the amendment is arranged to show deleted, new or amended text as shown below: — deleted text is marked with strike through; — new or amended text is highlighted in grey; and — an ellipsis (…) indicates that the remaining text is unchanged in front of or following the reflected amendment. Appendix I to Annex IV to ED Decision 2003/019/RM is hereby amended as follows: APPENDIX I AIRCRAFT TYPE RATINGS FOR PART-66 AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE LICENCES The following aircraft type ratings should be used to ensure a common standard throughout the Member States. The inclusion of an aircraft type in the licence does not indicate that the aircraft type has been granted a type certificate under the Basic Regulation and its Implementing Rules,; this list is only intended for the maintenance purposes. In order to keep this list current and the type ratings consistent, such information should be first passed on to the Agency using the Rulemaking Enquiry form (http://easa.europa.eu/webgate/rulemaking-enquiry/) in case a Member State needs to issue a type rating that is not included in this list. Notes on when the licences should be modified: When a modification is introduced by this Decision to an aircraft type rating or to an engine designation in the rating which affect licences already issued, the ratings on the Aircraft Maintenance Licences (AMLs) may be modified at the next renewal or when the licence is reissued, unless there is an urgent reason to modify the licence. Notes on aircraft modified by Supplemental Type Certificate (STC): It is not the intention of this document to include all aircraft modified by STCs because a great number of STCs were approved before 2003 and are unknown to the Agency.
