What is Basic Experience?
Basic Experience is the number of years you have to be able to demonstrate prior to being accepted for the issue of an AMEL.
From EASA FAQ - Where do I gain the required basic maintenance experience? Is it mandatory to gain the required maintenance experience in an EASA approved Part-145 organisation?
According to the AMC 66.A.30(a)(4), aircraft maintenance experience gained within different types of maintenance organisations (under Part-145, M.A. Subpart F, FAR-145, etc.) or under the supervision of independent certifying staff may be accepted by the competent authorities.
