CAR 401.17(1), states: “Where, during a flight test, the holder of a valid rating fails to meet
the requirements specified in the personnel licensing standards for the lowest class of that rating, the
Minister will suspend the rating.” If the holder of a valid instrument or flight instructor rating fails
a flight test, the examiner will initiate suspension by drawing a single line through the English and French
endorsements on the applicant’s licence and writing the following notation: “Instrument Rating
suspended” or “Flight Instructor Rating suspended” followed by the examiner’s
signature and the date.
When an instrument rating is held in both aeroplane and helicopter categories, a failed flight test on
the one category of aircraft should have no effect on the other except where, in the opinion
of the examiner, a procedural error demonstrates the applicant's inability to perform in the other category.
The pilot must be informed of his or her right to a review of the suspension in accordance with the
Aeronautics Act. The examiner will then, no later than the next working day,
notify the Regional Superintendent - Flight Training who will ensure that a notice of suspension is issued.
Where, during the flight test for a flight instructor rating, a candidate fails to meet the requirements
for renewal of the class of rating held, but meets the requirements for a lower class of that rating, the
examiner will endorse the candidate’s licence with the lower class of that rating [CAR 401.17(2)].
