Private and Recreational Pilot Groundschool Manual Page 18Langley Flying School, Inc.The applicant must have completed a total minimum 65 hours flight training (including training for the Private PilotLicence) in the aircraft category aeroplane, gyroplane, or helicopter), including no less than 35 dual with a flightinstructor, and 30 hours solo practice (subsequent to Private Pilot Training).Of the 35 hours of dual flight, 5 must be night (including a 2-hour night cross-country), 5 must be cross-country (ofwhich 2 hours may be the night cross-country requirements), and 20 hours must be instrument time (reference onlyto flight instruments).Of the 30 hours solo flight time emphasizing improvement in flying skills, there must be a cross-country flight to apoint not less than 300 nautical miles from the point of departure, with 3 full-stop landings. The 30 solo hours mustalso include 5 hours by night and completion of 10 circuits.The licence requires the successful completion of flight test.Instrument RatingThe holder of a licence endorsed with an Instrument Rating may exercise the privileges of the licence in IFRconditions—i.e., “instrument flight rules,” which is when the pilot can fly in cloud without visual reference to theground.The applicant must obtain 70% on Transport Canada examination, which assesses knowledge of Air Regulations,Instrument Flight Rules and Procedures, Meteorology, Instruments, Radio and Radar Systems, and Navigation.The applicant must have 50 hours cross-country experience.The applicant must have accumulated 40 hours instrument training time, including a cross-country flight in actual orsimulated IFR conditions of not less than 100 nautical miles, and including instrument approaches to specifiedapproach altitude minima at two locations.Successful completion of a flight test is required for this rating.Instrument Ratings are issued on the basis of Groups. A Group 1 Instrument Rating applies specified instrumentprivileges to fly any conventional multi-engine or single-engine aircraft, while the Group 3 Instrument Ratingapplies specific instrument privileges to fly only single-engine aircraft. The Group 2 Instrument Rating is restrictedto centre-thrust multi-engine aircraft such as the Cessna 337.Multi-engine Class RatingThe holder of a licence endorsed with a Multi-engine Rating may exercise the privileges of the licence in aircraftequipped with two or more engines.This rating does not require the completion of a specified number of training hours.The applicant must successfully complete a flight test.Seaplane RatingThe holder of a licence endorsed with a Seaplane Rating may exercise the privileges of the licence in aircraftequipped to land and takeoff on water.The applicant must complete a minimum number of training hours, including a minimum of 5 takeoffs and landingsas the sole occupant of the aeroplaneAirline Transport Pilot LicenceThe holder of a Airline Transport Pilot Licence—the most senior licence issue by Transport Canada—may exercisethe privileges of Pilot-in-command or Co-pilot of any aircraft engaged in a commercial air service where the aircraftminimum flight crew document requires a minimum flight crew of two pilots—i.e., commuter or airline aircraft.An applicant for the Airline Transport Pilot Licence must hold a Group 1 Instrument Rating.© 2012 David L.

Private and Recreational Pilot Groundschool Manual Page 19Langley Flying School, Inc.The following is also required:1. 70% on Transport Canada examinations—two examinations must be written. The first examination(although order of writing is not important) is entitled SAMRA, concerns the subjects of Meteorology,Radio Aids to Navigation, and Flight Planning. The second examination is entitled SARON, whichconcerns Air Law, Aeroplane Operation and General Navigation.2. 1500 hours flight experience, of which 250 hours must be Pilot-in-command (100 of the 250 hours may beas Pilot-in-command under supervision), 6 including 100 hours cross-country flight time (which mustinclude 25 night hours).3. 100 hours night flight time as Pilot-in-command or co-pilot.4. 200 hours cross-country time as co-pilot in a two-crew aeroplane, or an additional 100 hours cross-countrytime as Pilot-in-command in addition to the above specified.5. 75 hours instrument flight time of which a maximum of 25 hours may be acquired in an approvedinstrument ground trainer (the ground trainer time cannot be applied toward the 1500 hours required).Pilot Personal LogsEvery holder of a flight crew permit, licence, or rating must maintain a personal log for the purpose of documentingexperience and recency.For each flight, this log must contain the following information:a) the date of the flight;b) the type of aircraft and its registration mark; 7c) the flight crew position in which the holder acts;d) the flight conditions with respect to day, night, VFR and IFR;e) in the case of aeroplanes, the place of departure and the place of arrival;f) all of the intermediate takeoffs and landings;g) the flight time.A pilot’s personal log is audited when a licence or rating is achieved by the pilot, and for this reason it is crucial tomake careful entries in the Pilot Log. When a commercial licence or airline transport licence is applied for, forexample, this audit of the Pilot Log is conducted by Transport Canada personnel. In the event of commercial pilottraining, it is important not to “double-dip” instrument training and night flying—that is, if a commercial student isobtaining instrument training at night, and the flight lasts .8 air time and 1.0 flight time, only a maximum of .8 canbe accredited instrument time and this has to be allocated to the Pilot Log’s “day” flight time, while the remaining .2(the difference between air and flight time) can be allocated to “night” flight time. It sounds confusing, but isrequired by Transport Canada.No person shall make an entry in a personal log unless the person is the holder of the log, or has been authorised tomake the entry by the holder of the log.Recency RequirementsFive-year RecencyThe holder of a flight crew permit, licence, or rating can only exercise the privileges of their permit, licence, orrating if they have acted as Pilot-in-command of an aircraft within the preceding five years. 8 In the event that theyhave not acted as such within this time period, privileges can only be reinstated if they undertake the following:a) successfully completes a flight review with a Flight Instructor and the Flight Instructor certifies in theholder’s personal log that the person meets the skill requirements associated with the permit, licence,6Canadian Aviation Regulation (CAR) 421.11. A complete electronic version of the CARs is available on Transport Canada’s website.7 The registration mark is the four-letter identification that appears on the wing and fuselage or tail of the aircraft.8CAR 401.05© 2012 David L.
