PASSENGER CARRYING ENDORSEMENT - PILOT PERMIT - ULTRALIGHT  AEROPLANE
(Sentences in brackets are explanations of the  proposal.)
This passenger carrying endorsement will permit an ultralight pilot to carry  a passenger in any approved aeroplane with a maximum takeoff weight of not more  than 1200 pounds and with a stall speed of not more than 45 miles per hour.
For this proposal, PPUL means Pilot Permit ? Ultralight ? Aeroplane. PPR  means Pilot Permit-Recreational ? Aeroplane and DFTE means Designated Flight  Test Examiner for passenger carrying in ultralight aeroplanes.
(1) Prerequisite
An applicant shall qualify for or hold a Pilot Permit - Ultralight ?  Aeroplane (PPUL).(This will permit the endorsement training and  qualification to be given as part of the training for PPUL or as an addition to  an existing permit.)
(2) Medical Fitness and Validity
(a) An applicant shall hold a Category 4 Medical Certificate valid for a    Pilot Permit - Ultra-light Aeroplane.
(b) An applicant who meets the medical conditions specified on the Civil    Aviation Medical Declaration and has signed it shall be deemed to have met the    Category 4 Medical Standards, providing a physician licensed to practice    medicine in Canada has signed Part C of the declaration
(c) The medical validity period for the permit holder is 60 months.
(d) A valid Category 1, 3, or 4 Medical Certificate maintains the permit.
(This is the same as the requirements for the PPUL (CAR 421.21 (2)) except  that subparagraph (b) is from the PPR requirements (i.e. a physician?s signature  will be required). It may be necessary to change the medical declaration form to  include passenger carrying as one of the reasons for a doctor?s  signature.)
(3) Knowledge
An applicant shall have successfully completed an    exam covering the following four mandatory areas:
(a) Air Law - regulations, rules and orders, air traffic services,    practices and procedures, and licensing requirements relevant to the permit;
(b) Navigation - navigation, radio aids and electronic theory;
(c) Meteorology; and
(d) Aeronautics - General Knowledge relevant to the permit-    airframes, engines and systems, theory of flight, flight instruments, flight    operations and human factors.
(These are the four areas covered in the PPR exam. It is proposed that the  ULTRA exam be modified to incorporate all of these areas, relevant to the  ultralight environment. The new ULTRA exam would be used for both the PPUL  requirement and passenger carrying endorsement. Written as part of the PPUL, it  would not have to be re-written for the passenger carrying endorsement.)
(4) ) Experience
An applicant shall have completed a minimum of    25 hours of flight time aboard ultralight aeroplanes. The flight time shall    include a minimum of:
(a) 15 hours dual instruction flight time, including a minimum of at least    two cross country legs consisting of a minimum of 30 minutes each; and
(b) 5 hours solo, flight time.
(5) Skill
An applicant shall complete a flight test in an ultralight aeroplane to the  standard outlined in the Flight Test Standard - Recreational Pilot Permit -  Aeroplane (TP12475E), as applicable to ultralights.
(6) Credits
(a) The Knowledge credits for holders of higher Licences and Permits (CAR    421.21(6)) apply to applicants for a PPUL who intend to carry passengers.
(b) The Knowledge requirement shall be deemed to have been met if the    applicant has within the preceding five years passed a written examination for    a PPR or Pilot Licence in the aeroplane category.
(c) The Knowledge, Experience and Skill requirements shall be deemed to    have been met for those ultralight pilots who hold a Flight Instructor rating    ? Ultralight ? Aeroplane. This grandfathering provision shall be in force for    a period of two years from the introduction of the passenger carrying    endorsement.
