General - Flight Test

All of the required flight test items required by the flight test report and described in this guide must be completed and the minimum pass mark for the Recreational Pilot Permit of 42 (50%) must be achieved.

All flight tests will be conducted when weather permits safe completion of the required items, the aeroplane is airworthy and the candidate and the aircraft's documents, as required by the Canadian Aviation Regulations, are valid. It is the sole responsibility of the examiner to make the final decision as to whether or not any portion or all of the flight test may be conducted.

Ground flight test items are those exercises or tasks performed prior to the pre-flight inspection of the aircraft.

Air flight test items are those exercises, tasks or manoeuvres performed with the aircraft, including the pre-flight inspection, start-up, run-up, taxiing and emergency procedures.

Ground items 2A to 2C will be assessed before the flight portion of the flight test.
