to conduct a competency check. To aid in this responsibility, an air operator must maintain
records to show:
(a) the last date that a monitor had been completed on the ACD;
(b) a list of the competency checks conducted by the CCd.
7.1.2 All CCd records are to be maintained for at least three years and must be made readily
available to TC for inspection and auditing purposes.
This section also applies to an air operator who has sponsored a CACD.

distributed to its appropriate operations personnel in a timely manner.
7.2 AIR OPERATOR’S NOTIFICATION RESPONSIBILITIES
7.2.1 An air operator must advise Transport Canada when a CCd is no longer employed by the
Company or will not be required to perform CCd duties during the coming 24 months.
7.2.2 It is the air operator’s responsibility to submit to the Transport Canada office concerned a formal
written request to have every ACd monitored annually before their expiry date. The request
should be submitted to arrive at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed date of the monitor.
Upon reception of the request, Transport Canada will coordinate with the air operator and agree
on a common date. In the absence of another method, the form in Appendix d should be used.
The proposed date of the monitor can be up to ninety (90) days prior to the expiry date of the
current one. The same procedure applies for ACd dCC validity.
7.2.3 If the air operator anticipates a delay or problem with the scheduled monitor referred to in 7.2.2,
contact should be made as soon as possible with the Transport Canada office concerned to
make an alternate appointment.

appropriate delegated authority under the director, national Operations or under the
Regional director, Civil Aviation, as appropriate, as soon as practicable after the competency
check is completed.
