14. Licensing
A written test is valid for two years and a flight test is valid for one year. Once you have completed either test you must complete all the requirements of the license (including taking the remaining examination or test) and be issued the license before the first test expires. If the validity period for the test expires before the remaining licensing requirements have been met, Transport Canada will require that you perform the expired test again.
To be issued a license or permit you must provide the following original documents to your instructor who will assist you with the application and check that all requirements for the license or permit are met.
- Student Pilot Permit (or Pilot's License or Permit in the case of a rating application or license upgrade.)
- Valid Medical Certificate of the appropriate category.
- Updated Pilot Training Record.
- Pilot log book.
- Application for Flight Crew License. This will be completed with the help of your instructor.
- Proof of the written Transport Canada examination results.
The documents will then be forwarded to the Transport Canada Authorised Person (see the Chief Flying Instructor for details.)
Temporary Pilot's License:
Pacific Flying Club's authorised person will sign the back of your Student Pilot Permit (or license as appropriate.) This will be your temporary pilot's license and is valid for 90 days from the date of signature.
Pilots with a temporary license or permit may rent Club aircraft.
Permanent Pilot's License:
Once you have your pilot's license or permit you may rent Club aircraft. You may want to consider upgrading to larger aircraft (requiring a checkride,) obtain your night rating and do a mountain check to afford you greater liberty in your flying.
Transport
Canada should send you your permanent license within 90 days.
