Admission to Flight Test - Renewal

In order to be admitted to a flight test required for the renewal of an Instrument Rating, the candidate will present:

  1. a valid original government-issued photo identification with signature;
     
  2. a valid Pilot Licence; and
     
  3. proof of holding, or having held within the previous 24 months, a valid Canadian Instrument Rating.

Note: Renewals that involve transitioning from a Group 2, 3 or 4 rating to a Group 1 rating may only be conducted in an aircraft or a full-flight simulator, not in a flight-training device (FTD).

In order to be admitted to a partial flight test following failure of a flight test for the renewal of an Instrument Rating, the candidate will present:

  1. a valid original government-issued photo identification with signature;
     
  2. a valid Pilot Licence;
     
  3. a copy of the flight test report for the previously failed flight test; and
     
  4. a letter, signed by a person qualified in accordance with CAR 425.21(9) stating that the candidate:

    1. has undergone additional training; and
       
    2. is considered competent to undertake the flight test.

Note: If the Instrument Rating has been expired for more than 24 months, the requirements for admission to an initial flight test must be met.
