Pilot Licensing in the United Kingdom

                        


Pilot Licensing in the United Kingdom is regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) under the auspices of the European Aviation Safety Agency. Each member nation in the EU has responsibility for regulating their own Pilot Licensing. The principal reference for flight crew Licensing in the UK is CAP804[1] which is published by the CAA on paper and online.

Contents   

1 Levels of Licence 
1.1 NPPL
1.2 PPL
1.3 CPL
1.4 ATPL
2 Licence currency
3 Licensing by Aircraft 
3.1 Type and Class ratings
4 Other ratings and qualifications 
4.1 Instrument qualifications in the UK
4.2 Transition to EASA Licence


                                 
Levels of Licence

The UK currently grants several levels of Licence:
UK National Private Pilot Licence (NPPL)
UK Private Pilot Licence (PPL)
EASA Part-FCL Light Aircraft Pilot Licence (LAPL)
EASA Part-FCL Private Pilot Licence (PPL)
EASA Part-FCL Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL)
EASA Part-FCL Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL)

The Licence held by a Pilot confers privileges on the sort of flying they may carry out—broadly, whether or not they may receive remuneration for doing so—and are independent of any Aircraft type, or class, ratings included in the holder's Licence and other ratings required for flying under specified conditions.

Currently British glider Pilots do not require a CAA-granted Licence. Regulation of gliding is through the British Gliding Association and its affiliated clubs. However from April 2015 they will require a CAA issued LAPL( S) (or the international Sailplane Pilots Licence - SPL) to fly EASA registered sailplanes. The UK NPPL has close links with the gliding community and a gliding Licence can be converted.
NPPL

The UK National Private Pilot Licence is a restricted form of the PPL introduced in 2002 for recreational Pilots. It has a less stringent medical requirement than the EASA-FCL PPL and a reduced flying syllabus.

The NPPL is administered by the National Pilots Licensing Group under supervision of the CAA. It is granted in two forms:
NPPL (SSEA/SLMG) for Simple Single Engined Aircraft and Self-Launching Motor Gliders
NPPL (Microlight and Powered Parachute)

The NPPL is a sub-ICAO Licence meaning the holder is limited to operating only UK-registered Aircraft and it cannot be used outside of the UK without permission from the regulatory authority of any foreign jurisdiction whose airspace the holder intends to operate into. The holder, when operating under the privileges of the NPPL, is furthermore restricted to operations in accordance with the VFR. The NPPL is more restricting in respect of additional Aircraft ratings which may be added compared with an EASAFCL PPL.
PPL


                                            
Licensing

The Private Pilot Licence confers on the holder a privilege to act as the Pilot in command of certain kinds of Aircraft. The holder may not operate for valuable consideration, i.e. any form of reward, either financial or in kind. However, subject to national restrictions governing the soliciting of passengers to be carried on board an Aircraft operated by a PPL holder, and in addition to several other requirements, a PPL holder may carry passengers who make a pro-rata remunerative contribution toward the direct cost of the Aircraft operating costs (NB: the Pilot's contribution must be no less than a pro-rata share).

A Flying Instructor rating may be included, subject to requirements under EASA-FCL being satisfied, in an EASA-FCL PPL provided the applicant has successfully completed a number of additional examinations. Such a person giving instruction in flying training may be remunerated.

Applicants for a Private Pilot Licence must be at least 17 years old, hold a valid EASA Part-MED Class 2 Medical Certificate, and have met the specified practical and theoretical training requirements laid down in EASA-FCL. This presently includes nine written theory examinations, completing at least 45 hours' flying training, including ten hours' solo flying, five hours' solo 'cross-country' flying and at least one solo flight of not fewer than 150 nautical miles with full-stop landings at two or more different aerodromes other than the aerodrome of departure.
CPL

The Commercial Pilot Licence allows the holder to act as the Pilot in command of an Aircraft for valuable consideration in single Pilot operations. It also permits the holder to act as a co-Pilot of a multi-crew Aircraft for which they are qualified: subject to their (i) holding a valid certificate of Multi-Crew Cooperation, (ii) having successfully completed an approved ATPL Theoretical Knowledge Course together with 14 ATPL theoretical examinations, (iii) having a valid Instrument Rating and Multi-Engine Class Rating.

Applicants for a Commercial Pilot Licence must be at least 18 years old, hold a valid EASA Part-FCL Class 1 Medical Certificate, have met the specified practical and theoretical training requirements laid down in EASA Part-FCL: including at least 200 hours' flying time (150 hours for applicants who have completed an approved course of aeroplanes) including 100 hours' flying experience acting as the Pilot in command (abbreviated to 70 hours for applicants who have completed an approved course of aeroplanes), 20 hours' 'cross-country' flying experience with at least one solo flight of not fewer than 300 nautical miles with full-stop landings at two or more different aerodromes, 10 hours' instrument instruction of which no more than 5 may be instrument ground time and 5 hours of night instruction including 5 take-offs and landings if the privileges are to be exercised at night.
ATPL

In addition to the privileges of the CPL, the holder of an Airline Transport Pilot Licence may act as the commander of a multi-crew Aircraft under IFR. An applicant for an ATPL must be at least 21 years old, hold a valid class 1 medical certificate, a type rating for a multi crew Aircraft and have completed the required theoretical and flight training and have at least 1,500 hours of flight time. Where a simulator is permitted, no more than 100 hours (of which 25 may be in basic instrument training devices) may be credited towards the issue of the Licence. Of the 1,500 hours, the applicant is to have completed 250 hours as PIC of which 150 may be PICUS (Pilot In Command Under Supervision), 200 hours cross country of which 100 must be as PIC or PICUS, 75 hours instrument time of which not more than 30 may be Instrument Ground Time, 100 hours night flight as PIC or Co-Pilot and 500 hours in multi-Pilot operations in aeroplanes with a maximum take-off weight of at least 5700 kg.

TYPE AND CLASS RATINGS

EASA Licenses do not expire. EASA Licenses have been issued in the UK from 17 September 2012.
Licensing by Aircraft

EASA Part-FCL Licences are issued for a particular category of Aircraft:
Aeroplanes (A) - including motor-gliders, but not gliders
Helicopters (H)

UK Licences are issued for:
Gyroplanes (G)
Balloons and Airships (BA)

The abbreviations are combined with the Licence level held, for example a Commercial Pilot Licence for Balloons and Airships can be written as CPL(BA).

Type and Class Ratings

A Licence will contain one or more ratings. These are sub-qualifications that specify in more detail the exact privileges that the Licence conveys. One type of rating is an Aircraft rating. This specifies the type or types of Aircraft which can be flown, and is either a Class rating, when a whole broad class of Aircraft can be flown, or a Type rating where the privileges are confined to a single type or group of very closely related types.

The very basic Aircraft rating usually obtained by PPL(A) holders at their initial skills test is the Single Engine Piston Landplane (SEP-land) Class Rating. This allows flight of single-piston-engined, non-turbocharged, fixed-pitch propeller, fixed tricycle gear, non-pressurised land aeroplanes (with a few exceptions).

SEP class rating holders may optionally extend the privileges of this rating to cover complex features by taking formal differences training from a suitably qualified instructor. There are five categories of difference: tailwheel Aircraft, retractable undercarriage, variable-pitch propeller, turbocharged engine and cabin pressurisation. There is no formal test for any difference training; the training is signed off as satisfactorily completed in the Pilot's logbook by the instructor conducting the training.

Other class ratings include Multi Engine Piston (MEP) landplane, Single and Multi engined piston Seaplane, and Touring Motor Gliders. To add these to their Licence a Pilot has to undergo a course of training and pass an additional skills test. Differences training is also required for certain complex features within these class ratings.

Aircraft ratings are type-specific for turbine (turboprop & jet) Aircraft and for a few other very complex types. To obtain one of these a Pilot must undergo specific training and pass a skills test.

It is also possible to obtain permission from the CAA to fly an Aircraft not covered by any type or class rating.
Other ratings and qualifications
                                   
                        
ADDITIONAL RATINGS AND QUALIFICATIONS

Additional ratings and qualifications may be included in a Licence to extend the Pilot's operating privileges.

The Night Rating may be included in an EASA Part-FCL Pilot Licence. The rating is, subject to the relevant conditions made under EASA Part-FCL being satisfied, included in the holder's Licence without a Skill Test being required. Additionally, there is no requirement made which requires retesting of the holder of a Night Rating.

The Night Rating privileges are to, subject to regulations enforced in and by jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom, operate in Visual Meteorological Conditions at night. (UK Air Navigation Order 2009, Schedule 7 refers.) 'Night' for the purpose of this section is defined under the UK Air Navigation Order 2009 Art. 255(1) as:
"'Night' means the time from half an hour after sunset until half an hour before sunrise (both times inclusive), sunset and sunrise being determined at surface level".

Flight Instructor and Examiner ratings extend the holder's privileges to act, respectively, as an instructor and to act as an examiner for proficiency checks and, or, skill tests. These ratings both exist in a variety of forms whose domains, or ranges of privileges, are for specified Aircraft operations.
Instrument qualifications in the UK

Unless a Pilot holds a current instrument qualification they must remain in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) at all times. The exact definition of VMC varies in the different classes of airspace, but they prescribe a certain inflight visibility and distance to be kept away from cloud, and may require the Pilot to remain in sight of the surface.

When meteorological conditions are worse than the VMC minima, Instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) are said to exist. The training for the full Instrument Rating is very stringent and costly. Because of this, the UK CAA also issues the IR (Restricted) Rating, which is a limited form of instrument rating which is a lot simpler to obtain. This was known as the (IMC) rating. It allows flight in IMC but only in certain classes of airspace and with restrictions on conditions for take-off and landing. This is a national rating, meaning it is not ordinarily recognised outside of the UK. It had previously been agreed that Pilots who already held the rating before April 2014 would be allowed to use it indefinitely within the UK and to transfer it to a new EASA Private Pilot’s Licence as an Instrument Rating (Restricted). EASA proposed in October 2013 that the UK should be able to issue new restricted instrument ratings for UK Pilots until April 2019.[2]

The full Instrument Rating can also be added onto an EASA Licence. This allows flight in instrument meteorological conditions in all classes of airspace, provided the Aircraft is capable of the conditions encountered. In particular, an IR is required to act as a Pilot on a scheduled flight.
Transition to EASA Licences

JAR Pilot Licences will transition to be based on EASA regulations between September 2012 and September 2017. The same levels of Licence listed above will apply and most procedures remain unchanged with the exception that the NPPL will become a European-wide Licence named the LAPL (was Leisure now Light Aircraft Pilot Licence). The UK CAA has published their interpretation of how these changes will affect Pilots.[3] EASA has published an explanation of Basic Regulation 216/2008 w[4]

Pilot Licensing in Canada

                                   

Pilot Licensing in Canada

Pilot licensing in Canada is administered by Transport Canada under the Aeronautics Act and the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs).
A Bell 212 crew from Alpine Helicopters scrambles on a medevac mission. Both the Aircraft Captain (left) and the CoPilot in this case are holders of the Airline Transport Pilot Licence - Helicopter.
Other than when flying a hang glider or paraglider, a person may only operate a Canadian-registered Aircraft or act as a Flight crew member in Canada with a Licence or permit issued by Transport Canada.

Canada is the second largest population of Licenced Pilots in the world.

Overview

A Licence is issued by Transport Canada in accordance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Licence Standards And Recommended Practices (SARPs). A Licence can be used to fly domestically as well as internationally, while a permit does not comply with ICAO standards and therefore can only be used within Canada, unless accepted by another country.[3] In April 1920 the first Commercial Commercial Pilot license in Canada was issued to Roland Groome.[4]

Pilots with Licences from foreign countries that are ICAO contracting states may apply to Transport Canada for a validation of their foreign Licence. This allows them to fly Canadian registered Aircraft in Canada. A foreign Licence may be used to fly an Aircraft registered in the same state as the Licence while in Canada.[5]

The term Licence in Canada is equivalent to the term certificate in the United States. The term Licence is also used in the United Kingdom. Under the ICAO they are all legally equivalent.


                                 
Permit and Licences

The most common type of Canadian Licence is the private Pilot Licence—aeroplane, which is used to fly light, single-engine general Aviation Aircraft privately and recreationally. At the end of 2008 there were 27,138 aeroplane and 596 Helicopter private Pilot Licences in force in Canada. The rarest Licence or permit in Canada is the gyroplane Pilot permit, with only 29 in force at the end of 2008.[1]
Ratings

Every permit and Licence has one or more ratings. A rating is a Transport Canada endorsement that grants additional special privileges. For example, a night rating allows a Pilot to fly at night.[6]

Each Aircraft model requires different knowledge and skill to fly. For example, a single engine general Aviation Aircraft's design and operation is fundamentally different from a gyroplane. Type ratings allow a Pilot to fly a specific Aircraft model. The CARs use the term type instead of model.[6]

Some Aircraft are covered by a blanket type rating which is applicable to a grouping of Aircraft types. For example, the aeroplanes blanket type rating covers all non-high performance, single engine aeroplanes that have a minimum Flight crew requirement of one Pilot. Examples of this type of Aircraft are the Cessna 172 and the Piper Cherokee. These are considered similar enough that specific ratings are not required for each type.[6]

Other Aircraft types are covered only by individual type ratings that apply to a single specific model of Aircraft. For example, all Helicopters are significantly different that each one requires an individual type rating. A person with a private Pilot Licence—Helicopter with a rating for the Bell 407 Helicopter may fly only that type of Helicopter. The specific privileges and requirements for each rating are detailed in the CARs.[6]

Other than Aircraft type ratings there are ratings that allow instrument flying, night flying, VFR over-the-top, ultra-light passenger carrying and other Pilot privileges.[6]
Permits and Licences
Student Pilot permit

Before receiving a permit a student Pilot may only practice dual instruction with an instructor. With a permit, a student Pilot may fly solo under the supervision of a Flight instructor and for purposes of Flight training only. Only domestic day flying under visual Flight rules (VFR) is allowed under this permit and no passengers may be carried.[7]

A student Pilot permit is required for each Aircraft category which a person is training for and is available for the following Aircraft categories:[8]
aeroplane
Balloon
Glider
Gyroplane
Helicopter
Ultra-light aeroplane

In order to attain a student Pilot permit, a student must sit and pass the PSTAR examination.
Gyroplane Pilot permit

The gyroplane Pilot permit allows the holder to fly a gyroplane. Until endorsed with other ratings, only domestic day flying under VFR is allowed under this permit.[9]

The gyroplane Pilot permit is endorsed with a blanket type rating for all single seat gyroplanes. There is no blanket type rating for two-seat gyroplanes and a type rating is required for each specific model of two-seat gyroplane.
Ultra-light Pilot permit

 The holder of a Canadian ultra-light Pilot permit prepares to fly a Blue Yonder Twin Engine EZ Flyer.

The ultra-light Pilot permit allows the holder to fly an ultra-light Aircraft in accordance with day VFR. A passenger may not be carried without a passenger carrying endorsement.

The ultra-light Pilot permit is endorsed with a blanket type rating for all models of ultra-light aeroplanes. Transport Canada defines two general categories of ultra-light aeroplane. The operating and Flight rules for basic ultra-light aeroplanes (BULA) does not allow any passenger carrying. The advanced ultra-light aeroplane (AULA) has stricter design requirements and includes passenger carrying if the Pilot has an ultra-light Pilot permit endorsed with the Passenger-carrying—ultra-light aeroplane rating. Holders of this permit may also fly certified or homebuilt aeroplanes that meet the weight and stall speed requirements of an ultra-light aeroplane.

Aircraft other than aeroplanes also fall under the general classification of ultra-light, in particular powered parachutes and powered paragliders. In such cases, the ultra-light Pilot permit is restricted to the type used by the student for training and qualification.

Ultra-light aeroplanes are often equipped with floats, amphibious floats or designed as a seaplane, however, there is no seaplane rating for the ultra-light Pilot permit. Any ultra-light Pilot may operate on water within the regulations of the CARs and the capabilities of the ultra-light aeroplane used.
Recreational Pilot permit—aeroplane

The recreational Pilot permit—aeroplane is designed to make flying more affordable. It has fewer requirements with respect to training and affords more restrictive privileges compared to the private Pilot Licence—aeroplane.[13]

This permit allows a person to fly as Pilot of an aeroplane. Either the landplane or seaplane aeroplane class rating is included, depending on which type of aeroplane is used in the training for this permit and the appropriate rating is issued with the recreational Pilot permit—aeroplane.[14] This permit can be endorsed with either the seaplane or landplane class rating.[13] Only domestic day flying in a single engine, non-high-performance aeroplane under VFR is allowed. This permit is restricted to single engine aeroplanes designed for a maximum of four people, but with only one passenger.[13]

A Pilot with this permit may also act as Pilot of an ultra-light aeroplane.[13]
Recreational Pilot permit—Helicopter

The recreational Pilot permit—Helicopter was intended to make flying more accessible. It was to have fewer requirements with respect to training and would have afforded more restrictive privileges as compared to the private Pilot Licence—Helicopter.[15]

Due to concerns within Transport Canada about the safety of a 25 hour permit to fly Helicopters, the standards to establish this permit were never instituted and the permit is therefore not currently available.[16] Transport Canada has indicated a desire to rescind this permit from the CARs.[citation needed]
Glider Pilot Licence

 A Canadian glider Pilot is ground briefed prior to solo in a Schweizer SGS 1-34 sailplane

The glider Pilot Licence allows the holder to fly as Pilot of a glider, under day VFR.[17][18]

The glider Pilot Licence is endorsed, in the student's Flight log, by a Flight test examiner or Flight instructor for the type of launch method used during training. The Licence is only valid for those methods of launch for which the glider Pilot has been endorsed.[17]

Once a glider Pilot has completed a minimum of 3 solo Flights using a particular launch method, they may then carry passengers, but only for those launch methods for which they have been endorsed and have completed the 3 solo Flights.[17]
Balloon Pilot Licence

The balloon Pilot Licence allows the holder to act as Pilot co-Pilot of a balloon. Only day flying under VFR is allowed, unless a night rating is added.[19][20]

The balloon Pilot Licence is endorsed, in the student's Flight log, by a Flight test examiner or Flight instructor for the type of inflation method used during training.[19]

Once a balloon Pilot has completed a minimum of 3 solo take-offs, accumulated a minimum of 50 hours Flight time in untethered balloons and 300 hours total balloon Flight time, his Licence may then be further endorsed for take-offs in built-up areas.[19]
Private Pilot Licence—aeroplane



 A Canadian private Pilot


The private Pilot Licence—aeroplane allows the holder to fly as Pilot or co-Pilot of an aeroplane. This is the most commonly held Licence in Canada and is generally the first Licence earned by the aspiring professional Pilot. Generally, the landplane aeroplane class rating is included in the training for this Licence and this rating is issued with the private Pilot Licence—aeroplane. Only day flying of a single engine non-high-performance aeroplane in accordance with VFR is allowed, unless other ratings have been earned.[21][22]

A Pilot with this Licence cannot work for "hire or reward", although reimbursement for some costs is permitted.[23]

A Pilot with this Licence may also act as a Pilot of an ultra-light aeroplane.[21]

The following endorsements can be added:
Landplane rating
Seaplane rating
Multi-engine rating
Multi-engine centre line thrust rating
Night rating
VFR-Over-the-Top rating

The Commercial Pilot Licence—aeroplane includes more advanced Piloting knowledge, skill and experience than the private Pilot Licence—aeroplane. A private Pilot Licence—aeroplane is a prerequisite to earning a Commercial Pilot Licence—aeroplane. A Commercial Pilot Licence—aeroplane is in turn a prerequisite to earning an airline transport Pilot Licence—aeroplane or any class of Flight instructor—aeroplane rating. The privileges of the ultra-light Pilot permit, private Pilot Licence—aeroplane, and VFR-Over-the-Top rating and night flying are included in this Licence.[26][27]

The following endorsements can be added:
Landplane rating
Seaplane rating
Multi-engine rating
Multi-engine centre line thrust rating
Instrument rating

Commercial Pilot Licence—Helicopter

The Commercial Pilot Licence—Helicopter Licence allows the holder to fly professionally as Pilot of a single Pilot Helicopter or as coPilot of a multi-crew Helicopter.[28][29]

The Commercial Pilot Licence—Helicopter involves more advanced Piloting knowledge, skill and experience than the private Pilot Licence—Helicopter. A private Pilot Licence—Helicopter is not a prerequisite to earning a Commercial Pilot Licence—Helicopter, however, the requirements for knowledge and experience are greater. A Commercial Pilot Licence—Helicopter is a prerequisite to earning an airline transport Pilot Licence—Helicopter or any class of Flight instructor—Helicopter rating. The privileges of the private Pilot Licence—Helicopter are included in this Licence.[28][29]

The Commercial Pilot Licence—Helicopter is restricted to daylight unless endorsed for night flying. The CARs provide for a number of significant options for credit in terms of knowledge and experience for Pilots with previous experience flying with other permits and licenses.[29]

The following endorsements can be added:
Night
Instrument rating
Flight instructor rating
Airline transport Pilot Licence—aeroplane

The airline transport Pilot Licence—aeroplane allows the holder to fly professionally as Pilot or co-Pilot of a single Pilot or multi-crew aeroplane. This Licence is required in order to be a professional airline Captain.[30][31]

The airline transport Pilot Licence—aeroplane involves more advanced Piloting knowledge, skill and experience than the Commercial Pilot Licence—aeroplane. A Commercial Pilot Licence—aeroplane, multi-engine rating and a Group 1 instrument rating are prerequisites for the airline transport Pilot Licence—aeroplane. The privileges of the ultra-light Pilot permit, private Pilot Licence—aeroplane and Commercial Pilot Licence—aeroplane are included.[30][31]

The following endorsements can be added:
Second officer rating
Flight instructor rating
Airline transport Pilot Licence—Helicopter

 A Canadian Pilot who holds an Airline Transport Pilot Licence - Helicopter, flying a Bell 212 on a medevac mission.

The airline transport Pilot Licence—Helicopter allows a Pilot to fly professionally as Pilot or co-Pilot of single Pilot or multi-crew Helicopters.[32][33]

The airline transport Pilot Licence—Helicopter involves more advanced Piloting knowledge, skill and experience than the Commercial Pilot Licence—Helicopter. A Commercial Pilot Licence—Helicopter is a prerequisite to the airline transport Pilot Licence—Helicopter. The privileges of the private Pilot Licence—Helicopter and Commercial Pilot Licence—Helicopter are included.[32][33]

The airline transport Pilot Licence—Helicopter is restricted to aerial work only if the night and instrument Flight time requirements are not met. This means that the Licence is restricted to Commercial flying that does not include air transport (transportation of Commercial passengers) nor Flight training.[32]

The following endorsement can be added:
Flight instructor rating
Flight engineer Licence

Some airliners are flown by a third crew member in addition to the Pilot and co-Pilot, a Flight engineer. The Flight engineer is responsible for monitoring Aircraft systems in Flight and for inspecting the Aircraft before and after each Flight. The Boeing 747-300 is an example of an airliner that employs a Flight engineer. Recent airliners from manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus are designed for a two Pilot crew with Flight management functions previously the responsibility of a Flight engineer now handled by automation. Many older airliners flying require a Flight engineer.[34][35]

The Flight engineer Licence allows the holder to be an aeroplane Flight engineer. Generally, this will be on a large transport Aircraft. Being a Pilot is not a prerequisite to earning a Flight engineer Licence, though many Flight engineers do hold a Commercial Pilot Licence—aeroplane or airline transport Pilot Licence.[34][35]

There is no blanket Aircraft type rating associated with the Flight engineer Licence. The Licence must be endorsed with an individual type rating for each aeroplane type. When issued the Flight engineer rating for the aeroplane type used by a person for training is issued.[34]

The following endorsements can be added:
Flight engineer rating
Ratings
Aeroplane class ratings
Further information: Class rating

Aeroplane class ratings are specific to fixed-wing Aircraft. These include:[36][37]
Seaplane rating
Landplane rating
Multi-engine rating
Multi-engine centre line thrust rating
Aircraft type ratings

Aeroplane Licences may be endorsed with individual Aircraft types or with blanket ratings for groups of Aircraft, for instance "All aeroplanes with a minimum Flight crew requirement of one Pilot excluding high performance".[38][39]

Other blanket type ratings available for the respective Licence or permit include:[39]
Gliders
Balloons
Ultra-light aeroplanes
Gyroplanes

Individual Aircraft type ratings required for the respective Licence or permit include:[39]
Each aeroplane with a minimum Flight crew requirement of at least two Pilots
Each aeroplane with a minimum Flight crew requirement of at least two Pilots utilizing a cruise relief Pilot
Each high performance Aeroplane type to be endorsed on a Pilot Licence - aeroplane category
Each aeroplane type to be endorsed on a Flight engineer Licence
Each aeroplane type to be endorsed on a second officer rating
Each aeroplane type to be endorsed on a Licence for which no blanket type rating is issued
Each type of Helicopter
Each type of power driven balloon or airship
Each type of gyroplane other than single seat gyroplanes
Restricted Licence - Individual Aircraft type ratings for certain medically restricted Licences
Night rating

The night rating allows a Pilot to fly in VMC and navigate in visual reference to the ground, at night. This is different from instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) where the Pilot flies and maintains situational awareness strictly by using instruments and avionics.

The night rating is available only for the following permits and Licences:
Gyroplane Pilot permit
Balloon Pilot Licence
Private Pilot Licence—aeroplane
Private Pilot Licence—Helicopter

For the Commercial and airline Pilot Licences (aeroplane) it is expected that the night rating will have already been earned. If not, a restricted Licence may be issued for day flying only.[27]
VFR-Over-the-Top rating

The VFR-Over-the-Top (VFR OTT) rating allows the holder to fly above and between cloud, without visual reference to the ground under visual Flight rules during the daytime. Pilots are required to takeoff from an aerodrome in normal VMC and VFR and land at the destination aerodrome under VFR. The cruise Flight in between may be flown under VFR OTT Flight rules.i[43]

This rating is an intermediate step between Piloting privileges that allow only for VFR flying and an instrument rating. This rating is included in the privileges of an instrument rating, as well as the Commercial Licence.i

The VFR OTT rating is available for the following Licences:i
Private Pilot—aeroplane
Private Pilot—Helicopter
Commercial Pilot—Helicopter
Airline transport Pilot—Helicopter
Instrument rating

The instrument rating allows a Pilot to fly in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), for example when cloud layers obscure the Pilot's view of the ground. An instrument-rated Pilot is able to fly and maintain situational awareness strictly by using instruments and avionics. This rating is one of the more complex ratings and is a major step toward earning more advanced Licences such as an airline transport Pilot Licence—aeroplane. It can be added to any aeroplane or Helicopter Licence and is a requirement for the issue of an Airline Transport Pilot Licence - Aeroplanes.[44][45]

The rating may only be exercised for Aircraft in the group endorsed. An instrument rating is often combined with other ratings to form a set of Piloting privileges. For example, the multi-engine rating is required in addition to an instrument rating to fly a multi-engined Aircraft under instrument Flight rules.

VFR-Over-the-Top privileges are included in an instrument rating.i

The requirements for an instrument rating are the same for both a private Pilot Licence—aeroplane and a private Pilot Licence—Helicopter. Helicopters certified for IFR operations are generally complex multi-crew and multi-engine Aircraft, so a Helicopter instrument rating is generally issued in conjunction with other ratings.

Transport Canada issues distinct instrument ratings for each of the following four groups of Aircraft types dependent upon the nature of the training for the instrument rating and the associated Flight test.[45]
Group 1 for multi-engine aeroplanes
Group 2 for multi-engine centre line thrust aeroplanes
Group 3 for single engine aeroplanes
Group 4 for Helicopters
Second officer rating

The second officer rating can be added to the professional aeroplane Licences to allow the holder to act as second officer on a multi-crew Aircraft. By itself the rating does not confer Piloting privileges.[46][47]

The second officer rating is available only for the following Licences:[46]
Commercial Pilot Licence—aeroplane
Airline transport Pilot Licence—aeroplane
Passenger-carrying—ultra-light aeroplane rating

Transport Canada defines two general types of ultra-light aeroplane, basic ultra-light aeroplanes are not allowed to carry passengers, while advanced ultra-light aeroplanes are allowed to carry one passenger, if the Pilot has an ultra-light Pilot permit endorsed with this rating.[48][49]

The passenger-carrying—ultra-light aeroplane rating applies only to the ultra-light Pilot permit. Pilots with a recreational Pilot permit—aeroplane and higher aeroplane Licences are allowed to carry passengers in an Aircraft that is authorized for passenger-carrying.
Aerobatic rating

There is no aerobatic rating for Pilots to carry out Aerobatics in Canada, although there are ratings for instructors to teach students aerobatics on aeroplanes and gliders.[6]
Flight instructor ratings

The following Flight instructor ratings are available to be added to the applicable Licence or permit:[51]
Aeroplane instructor rating - Class 1, 2, 3 or 4
Aeroplane aerobatic instructor rating - Class 1 or 2
Helicopter instructor rating - Class 1, 2, 3 or 4
Gyroplane instructor rating
Glider instructor rating
Glider aerobatic instructor rating
Balloon instructor rating
Ultra-light Aeroplane instructor rating
                                  
Foreign Licence conversion

As of 1 December 2006 Canadian Pilots who hold certain Pilot Licences are able to convert those Licences into FAA Certificates with greater ease than in the past. Similarly, American Pilots who hold certain Pilot certificates are able to convert those certificates into Canadian Licences.

Questionnaires::

1) Any other brief words on 
a)CHECKRIDE.

As a Pilot candidate, you should be aware that the FAA or TC Transport Canada  Publishes charts for each stage of Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations. As you prepare for your checkride, you have practiced with various publications not only for training alone, but also for Flight Planning and the Departure, Enroute, Approach, and Taxiing phases of Flight. 
                            
b)Computarised Aerounatics Knowledge Test 
Every Pilot in Canada for Certificate you will be required by the TC Transport Canada  to take and pass a Knowledge  Test along with taking and passing an oral and Practical (Flight) Test. This guide covers the process for the Knowledge Test.

2) What is called PSTAR Examination.

The PSTAR, originally standing for Pre-Solo Test of Air Regulations but now called Student Pilot Permit too  is a written examination that a student studying for their Private Pilot Licence in Canada must pass before being awarded their Student Pilot Permit. All students must achieve a pass mark of 90% before commencing their first solo Flight.

The exam is a multiple choice test of 50 questions covering the areas of;

Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs)
Air traffic control Clearances and Instructions
Air traffic control procedures as they apply to the control of VFR traffic at 
controlled airports
Air traffic procedures at uncontrolled airports and aerodromes
Special VFR Regulations
Aeronautical Information Circulars
NOTAM (Notice to Airmen)

The exam is administered by authorized flight training centres across Canada, or by Transport Canada regional offices.

3) The term VMC and IFR.

Visual Meteorological Conditions ( VMC) an Aviation Flight category in which Visual Flight Rules (VFR) Flight is permitted.

Instrument Flight Rating [ IFR ] referred to as IFR, is a highly technical aspect of flying. A Pilot without IFR endorsements and certification is not legally allowed 
to Fly in IFR conditions.
