Pursuant to subsection 5.9(2) of the Aeronautics Act, and after taking into account that the exemption is in the public interest and is not likely to affect aviation safety, I hereby exempt the persons listed hereinafter, who are United States licensed experimental and production test pilots working for hire and reward for Bombardier Aerospace, Learjet Inc. (hereinafter "Bombardier Aerospace"), P. O. Box 7707, Wichita, KS 67277-7707 United States, from the requirement set out in paragraph 401.03(1)(a) of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs), subject to the following conditions.
Paragraph 401.03(1)(a) states that no person shall act as a flight crew member or exercise the privileges of a flight crew permit, licence or rating unless, subject to subsection (2) and Sections 401.19 to 401.27, the person is the holder of, and can produce while so acting and while exercising such privileges, the appropriate permit, licence or rating.
Purpose
The purpose of this exemption is to permit the persons listed hereinafter to exercise the privileges of acting as a pilot-in-command or co-pilot of any aeroplane manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace. This exemption is for the purpose of operating any aeroplanes manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace without a flight crew permit, licence or rating for the aeroplane that is being operated under an experimental or special purpose flight permit. Presently, it is not possible to obtain a type rating on aeroplanes that are experimental and for which a Canadian type approval or a Canadian approved type certificate has not been issued. Additionally, the type rating is not an appropriate rating for flight test operations performed with aircraft operating under a Flight Permit. The exemption will also permit the Bombardier pilots listed in the exemption to provide flight instruction to media personnel who will be receiving this training in order to report on the aircraft performance and characteristics.
Application
This exemption applies to the persons listed hereinafter who are employed by
Bombardier Aerospace for hire or reward in order to operate any aeroplane manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace that is being flight tested or operated under the authority of an experimental or specific purpose flight permit and permits Bombardier Aerospace to carry media personnel holding pilot licenses and assigned as flight crew members for the purpose of receiving training provided by the designated Bombardier personnel listed in this exemption. These designated Bombardier personnel have the privilege of providing that training.
