General - Flight Test

All of the flight test items required by the flight test report and described in this guide must be successfully completed and the minimum pass mark for the Private Pilot Licence of 72 (50%) or for the Commercial Pilot Licence of 104 (70%) must be achieved.

All flight tests will be conducted in weather conditions that do not present a hazard to the operation of the helicopter, the helicopter is airworthy and the candidate and helicopter'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 and emergency procedures.

Ground flight test items 2A to 2D and 20A will be assessed before the flight portion of the flight test.
