A flight test item or manoeuvre is performed once and assessed once. An item or manoeuvre may be
repeated only in the following circumstances:
(a) Discontinuance: Discontinuance of a manoeuvre for valid safety reasons;
i.e., a go-around or other procedure necessary to modify the originally planned manoeuvre.
(b) Collision Avoidance: Examiner intervention on the flight controls to
avoid another aircraft, which the candidate could not have seen due to position or other factors.
(c) Misunderstood Requests: Legitimate instances when candidates did not
understand an examiner’s request to perform a specific manoeuvre. A candidate’s failure to understand the
nature of a specified manoeuvre being requested does not justify repeating a flight test item or manoeuvre.
(d) Other Factors: Any condition under which the examiner was distracted to
the point that he or she could not adequately observe the candidate’s performance of the manoeuvre (radio
calls, traffic, etc.).
Note: These provisions have been made in the interest of fairness and safety and
do not mean that instruction, practice, or the repeating of a flight test item or manoeuvre unacceptably
demonstrated, are permitted during the flight test evaluation process.
