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 adversely affect aviation safety, I hereby exempt Air Operators using Level VII Flight Training Devices approved in accordance with the Aeroplane and Rotorcraft Simulator Manual, TP 9685 from the requirements of subsections 723.98(8), (9) and 724.115 (9) and 724.115(10) of the Commercial Air Service Standards (CASS) made pursuant to subsection 703.98(2)(c)(i) and 704.115(2)(v)(A) of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs), subject to the conditions stipulated herein.
The details of the above provisions are set out in Appendix A, attached to this exemption.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this exemption is to authorize air operators to utilize Level VII Flight Training Devices approved in accordance with the Aeroplane and Rotorcraft Simulator Manual, TP 9685, as part of their approved aircraft type training programs, for initial and annual recurrent pilot training.
APPLICATION
This exemption applies to an air operator when using Level VII Flight Training Devices approved in accordance with the Aeroplane and Rotorcraft Simulator Manual, TP 9685, as part of its approved aircraft type training programs for initial and annual pilot training.
CONDITIONS
This exemption is issued subject to the following conditions:
- The Operator’s pilot training program incorporating an approved flight training device (FTD) for training credits shall be in compliance with the training matrix and limitations set out in Appendix A of this exemptionand as supplemented and approved by the Transport Canada Simulator Evaluation Program Manager.
- Training conducted in the FTD shall be documented, including dates, times, name of student and instructor with any grading or other instructor comments attached, and archived in the candidate’s training records for a minimum of three years following the training session.
- FTD training records shall be available to the Operator’s Principal Operations Inspector for inspection and statistical data for the purposes of Transport Canada FTD program evaluation.
- The Transport Canada specific FTD identification approval shall be in force and valid during the period of the training and available for inspection by Transport Canada.
- The Operator’s Transport Canada Principal Operations Inspector (POI) shall be notified as soon as possible if any system such as visuals, controls or other equipment associated with the operation of the FTD does not function correctly or fails during the training exercises. That information shall be forwarded to the Simulator Evaluation and Approval Technical Team Leader in Ottawa (AAROA).
CANCELLATION CLAUSE
The exemption from 703.98(2)(c)(i) and 704.115(2)(v)(A) of the Canadian Aviation Regulations issued to Air Operators using Level VII Flight Training Devices approved in accordance with the Aeroplane and Rotorcraft Simulator Manuel, TP 9685 on June 9, 2014, at Ottawa by the Director General Civil Aviation on behalf of the Minister of Transport is hereby canceled because it is the opinion of the Minister that it is not longer in the public interest or is likely to affect aviation safety.
VALIDITY
This exemption shall be in effect until the earliest of:
- July 30th, 2020;
- the date on which any condition set out in this exemption is breached; or
- the date on which this exemption is cancelled in writing by the Minister where he or she is of the opinion that it is no longer in the public interest or is likely to adversely affect aviation safety.
DATED at Ottawa, Ontario, Canada this 20th of July 2015, on behalf of the Minister of Transport.
