| CREDITING OF ULTRA-LIGHT AEROPLANE EXPERIENCE TOWARDS THE RECREATIONAL PILOT PERMIT - AEROPLANE Reference Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) Part IV, Subpart 1, Flight Crew Permits, Licences and Ratings, Division IV, Pilot Permits, 421.22 Recreational - Aeroplane - Requirements. Background A proposal has been submitted to and approved by CARAC as NPA 97-102 to amend the crediting of dual and solo ultra-light aeroplane experience towards the Recreational Pilot Permit - Aeroplane. The present regulations do not encourage ultra-light pilots to seek training for higher levels of licensing because of the limited credit for their experience on ultra-light aeroplanes. For example, only 10 hours of pilot-in-command experience on ultra-light aeroplanes may be credited towards the training required for a Private Pilot Licence - Aeroplane Category. With the introduction of the advanced ultra-light aeroplanes, great technological advances have been made in a very short time, resulting in more sophisticated aeroplanes, some of which bear little resemblance to the appearance of the ultra-light aeroplanes of the 1970's. In fact, some of these aeroplanes more closely resemble the more widely used general aviation training fleet of aircraft. Action NPA 97-102 which was approved by CARAC proposes an amendment to CAR 421.22 by adding a new paragraph 6 as follows: An applicant for a Pilot Permit - Recreational - Aeroplane who holds a valid Pilot Permit - Ultra-light Aeroplane may credit all dual and solo flight time acquired in ultra-light aeroplanes towards the experience requirement. This policy may be applied immediately. Expiry This Policy Letter will expire with the appropriate amendment to the CARs. Manzur Huq Director General Aviation |
