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.
