Part 4 — Instrument Proficiency Checks for Aircraft Type Ratings Exemption and Conditions

11 Definitions

(1) In this Part, a reference to the 12-month period in subsection 13 (1) is a reference to the period of 12 months calculated in the same way as the period would be calculated under subregulation 61.805 (3) if this instrument had not been made.

(2) In this Part, a reference to the 24-month period:

(a) in subsection 13 (1) — is a reference to the period of 24 months calculated in the same way as the 12-month period is calculated; or

(b) in subsections 15 (1) and 17 (1) — is a reference to the period of 24 months calculated in the same way as the period would be calculated under subregulation 61.805 (2) if this instrument had not been made.

12 Exemption No. 1 — single-pilot turbojet aeroplane type ratings

(1) The holder of a single-pilot turbojet aeroplane type rating (the SP type rating holder), for the exercise of the privileges of the rating under the IFR, is exempt from compliance with subregulation 61.805 (3).

(2) The SP type rating holder is exempt from compliance with subregulations 61.805 (5) and (6).

(3) The exemptions in this section are subject to the conditions in sections 13 and 18.

13 Conditions – Exemption No. 1 – single-pilot turbojet aeroplane type ratings

(1) The SP type rating holder must have a valid IPC as if the requirements under subregulation 61.805 (3), to have a valid IPC for the aeroplane type covered by the rating during the 12-month period, applied as a requirement to have a valid IPC for any single-pilot turbojet aeroplane type during the 24-month period.

Note Thus, for an SP type rating holder, the 12-monthly IPC requirement under subregulations 61.805 (1) and (3) may be satisfied by a 24-monthly IPC in any single-pilot turbojet aeroplane type.

(2) Subregulations 61.805 (5) and (6) must be complied with as if they applied despite the exemption in subsection 12 (2) of this instrument, except that references to “relevant aircraft” for paragraphs 61.805 (3) (e) and (f) must be taken to be references to any single-pilot turbojet aeroplane type (rather than the particular single-pilot turbojet aeroplane type covered by the SP type rating holder’s rating).

Note Thus, it is a condition of the exemption from the requirements in subregulations 61.805 (5) and (6) that subregulations 61.805 (5) and (6) be complied with, but in the particular context of the operation of the exemption.

14 Exemption No. 2 — multi-crew type ratings

(1) The holder of a multi-crew type rating (the multi-crew type rating holder) for a particular aircraft category, for the exercise of the privileges of the rating under the IFR, is exempted from subregulation 61.805 (2).

(2) The multi-crew type rating holder is exempt from compliance with subregulations 61.805 (5) and (6).

(3) The exemptions in this section are subject to the conditions in sections 15 and 18.

15 Conditions – Exemption No. 2 – multi-crew type ratings

(1) The multi-crew type rating holder for a particular aircraft category must have a valid IPC as if the requirements under subregulation 61.805 (2), to have a valid IPC for the aircraft type covered by the rating during the 24-month period, applied as a requirement to have a valid IPC for any multi-crew type-rated aircraft in the same category during the 24-month period.

(2) Subregulations 61.805 (5) and (6) must be complied with as if they applied despite the exemption in subsection 14 (2) of this instrument, except that references to “relevant aircraft” for paragraphs 61.805 (2) (e) and (f) must be taken to be references to any multi-crew aircraft type in the same category as that of the multi‑crew type rating holder’s rating (rather than the particular aircraft type covered by the holder’s rating).

Note Thus, it is a condition of the exemption from the requirements in subregulations 61.805 (5) and (6) that subregulations 61.805 (5) and (6) be complied with, but in the particular context of the operation of the exemption.

16 Exemption No. 3 — other aircraft type ratings

(1) This section does not apply to an SP type rating holder or a multi-crew type rating holder.

(2) The holder of a pilot type rating (the holder), for the exercise of the privileges of the rating under the IFR, is exempt from compliance with subregulation 61.805 (2).

(3) The holder is exempted from subregulations 61.805 (5) and (6).

(4) The exemptions in this section are subject to the conditions in sections 17 and 18.

17 Conditions – Exemption No. 3 – other aircraft type ratings

(1) The holder must have a valid IPC as if the requirements under subregulation 61.805 (2), to have a valid IPC for the aircraft type covered by the rating during the 24-month period, applied as a requirement to have a valid IPC for any type-rated aircraft in the same category during the 24-month period.

(2) Subregulations 61.805 (5) and (6) must be complied with as if they applied despite the exemption in subsection 16 (3) of this instrument, except that references to “relevant aircraft” for paragraphs 61.805 (2) (e) and (f) must be taken to be references to any aircraft type in the same category as that of the holder’s pilot type rating (rather than the particular aircraft type covered by the holder’s rating).

Note Thus, it is a condition of the exemption from the requirements in subregulations 61.805 (5) and (6) that subregulations 61.805 (5) and (6) be complied with, but in the particular context of the operation of the exemption.

18 General condition — Exemption Nos. 1, 2 and 3

An exemption mentioned in section 12, 14 or 16 does not apply to the type rating holder mentioned in the section unless the type rating holder’s pilot licence records that the type rating holder has a valid IPC in accordance with the condition in subsection 13 (1), 15 (1) or 17 (1) (as the case requires).
