Study Notes
Age and Medical Requirements
- PPL: Minimum age is 17, requires Class 1 or Class 3 medical.
- SPP: Minimum age is 14, requires Class 1, Class 3, or Class 4 medical.
- RPP: Minimum age is 16, requires Class 1, Class 3, or Class 4 medical.
Pilot Privileges
- PPL: Allows day flying under VFR, operates in most countries, and enables adding ratings/types.
- RPP: Limited to day flying only within Canada, one passenger, can only add seaplane rating.
Medical Certificate Validity
- Class 1 Medical: Valid for one year for those under 40; six months for those over 40.
- Class 3/4 Medical: Valid for five years for those under 40; two years for those over 40.
Regulatory Notifications
- Must notify Transport Canada of an address change within seven days.
Recency Requirements
- Carrying passengers requires five takeoffs and landings within the past six months, including night flying specifics.
Aircraft Specifications
- High-Performance Aircraft: Defined by a VNE of 250 knots or greater and a VNO of 80 knots or more.
Conversion Requirements
- Seaplane to Land Plane: 3 hours total training, including 2 dual and 5 takeoff/landings.
- Land Plane to Seaplane: 7 hours total training, including 5 dual and 5 takeoff/landings.
Equipment and Documentation
- AROWILL: Must include Certificate of Airworthiness, registration, POH, weight and balance, insurance, logbook, and pilot licenses.
Right of Way Rules
- Priority based on maneuverability: Balloons > Gliders > Airships > Power-driven heavier-than-air > Towing objects > Power-driven aircraft.
- Head-on situations require alteration to the right; overtaking must occur to the right.
Altitude and Safety
- Lower altitude aircraft have landing priority.
- Minimum altitude over built-up areas: 1000 feet above highest obstacle within 2000 feet.
- Minimum altitude over non-built-up areas: 500 feet within a 500-foot radius.

- Object dropping from aircraft is prohibited.
- Maintain a distance of 5 nautical miles and no less than 3000 feet above forest fires.
Aerobatic and Formation Flight
- Aerobatic maneuvers restricted from built-up areas, must have 3 miles visibility, and not below 2000 feet.
- Formation flying allowed with pre-arrangement and ATC approval in control zones.
Speed and Alcohol Regulations
- Speed limit: 250 KIAS below 10,000 feet and 200 KIAS below 3000 feet AGL in controlled zones.

Medication Guidelines
- Pilots should not have any medications that impair faculties.
Aircraft Safety Pre-Flight Checks
- Planes must not be left running unattended.
- Fuel requirements for VFR: landing point plus 30 minutes for day, plus 45 minutes for night.
Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT)
- Test ELT in the first 5 minutes of the hour for no more than 5 seconds; contact ATC or FSS if activated accidentally.
Oxygen Requirements
- Required use at 13,000 feet full time, with provisions for crew and passengers between 10,000-13,000 feet.
VFR Weather Minimums
- Controlled Airspace: 3 SM visibility, 500 feet vertically and 1 mile horizontally from clouds.
- Uncontrolled Airspace: Varies based on altitude; visibility requirements also differ for helicopters vs. fixed-wing aircraft.
Flight Planning
- Must file a plan for flights over 25 NM, any ADIZ entry, and international flights.
- Changes in a flight plan include alterations in route, duration, or destination.
Aerodrome and Airport Definitions
- An Aerodrome is for aircraft movement; an Airport has a valid certificate.
- Movement Area: Includes runways and taxiways; Maneuvering Area: Surface movement parts for takeoff and landing.
Runway and Taxiway Protocols
- Runways numbered by magnetic/true track; closed runways marked with “X’s” and NOTAMs.
- Nighttime operations require specific lighting for taxiways and unserviceable areas.
Circuit and Flight Operations
- Standard circuit height is typically 1000 feet AGL; pilot reporting protocols for MF areas and circuit entry are defined.
Emergency Codes
- Transponder codes: 7500 for hijacking, 7600 for radio failure, 7700 for general emergencies.
- Required actions include setting transponder to indicate radio failure.
Communication and Lighting Signals
- Use of various light signals; steady red, green, flashing red/green indicate different actions for pilots on the ground and in the air.
Airspace Classifications
- Airspace classified as A-F, with specifications for VFR requirements and equipment based on class designation.
- Class G: uncontrolled; Class E: controlled but unregulated without specific requirements.
Passenger Weight Standards
- Winter: Male - 212 lbs, Female - 178 lbs; Summer: Male - 206 lbs, Female - 172 lbs.
