Standard 421 Appendix A: Aircraft Type Designator Tables includes Blanket and Individual Type Ratings - Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs)

The tables provided below are applicable to Aircraft Type Designators that are endorsed on flight crew permits and licenses in accordance with Part IV of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs).

Transport Canada incorporates two certification processes for new aircraft being introduced and operated in Canada - the aircraft certification itself, and the operational evaluation process. These evaluations are conducted separately.

  • Aircraft type certification, which occurs first, results in an Aircraft Type Certificate Data Sheet that Transport Canada uses to assign aircraft type designators and minimum crew requirements.
  • The operational evaluation (OE) that is conducted by an Operational Evaluation Team after the certification process, results in a determination whether or not the aircraft is considered a variant of an existing type requiring additional Aircraft Differences Training.

The following tables are provided as guides only.

Note:

  1. This Chart is provided as a guide only.
  2. Aircraft Differences Training: for aircraft that have been determined similar by aircraft certification and by an Operations Evaluation Board (OEB) report, there may be “Master Differences Requirements” between the variants for training, checking and currency requirements that must be met to transition between the different variants.
  3. Some aircraft requiring two pilots may be permitted single pilot for either VFR or IFR under specific conditions provided the single pilot skill test and applicable knowledge and experience requirements have been completed.

Note:

  1. This Chart is provided as a guide only.
  2. Aircraft Differences Training: for aircraft that have been determined similar by aircraft certification and by an Operations Evaluation Board (OEB) report, there may be “Master Differences Requirements” between the variants for training, checking and currency requirements that must be met to transition between the different variants.
  3. Some aircraft requiring two pilots may be permitted single pilot for either VFR or IFR under specific conditions provided the single pilot skill test and applicable knowledge and experience requirements have been completed.
