Original regulatory text

Feedback statements in the results letter will inform the candidate the subject of questions that were answered incorrectly. Feedback will outline general subject areas, to ensure exam integrity is maintained. Example of feedback statement: Identify classes of airspace from an aeronautical chart. Level 1 complex operations RPA pilot knowledge requirements Knowledge requirements for RPA pilots operating in level 1 complex operations are shown in the following pages. Sample learning objectives are listed after the topics. The list of sample objectives is not all-inclusive, its purpose is to illustrate the depth of knowledge required to operate RPA in Canadian airspace. Types of operation (basic operations, advanced operations, level 1 complex operations) are set out in the Canadian Aviation Regulations , Part IX. There are different minimum knowledge requirements for the pilots of RPA operating in each of those groups. Applicants for the pilot certificate – remotely piloted aircraft – Level 1 complex operations shall demonstrate their knowledge by writing the Transport Canada multiple choice examination covering the subjects set out in the Knowledge Requirements for Pilots of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems – Level 1 Complex Operations (TP 15530). Note: It is encouraged that the candidate also reviews Knowledge Requirements for Pilots of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems, 250 g up to and including 150 kg, Basic and Advanced Operations (TP 15263) for the Advanced Certificate.
