Enrollment Prerequisites

Please review CAR's 421.66 to see if you qualify to renew your instructor rating via this course, as opposed to renewing via a Transport Canada flight test.

A maximum of 30 applicants will be accepted for on a first-come first-serve basis. Preference will be given to those holding a valid Instructor rating, aeroplane, at the commencement of the course.

Applicants who meet the qualifications for flight instruction set out in CAR's 425.21 may also be accepted (e.g. multi-engine class rating, instrument rating instructors). Any further questions please send an email
