Subpart 10 : Requirements for the Issue of a National Post Maintenance and Repair Test Flight Rating and a National Test Flying Rating

62.10.1 General

 

(1) No person shall act as test pilot of an aircraft unless he is the holder of a valid pilot's licence with a test pilot's rating.

 

(2) Test flights may only be performed by suitably rated pilots; this means rated on the aircraft within a class or on type and rated as a test pilot.

 

(3)
(a) A test flight will be required as referred to below.
(b) Note that a systems acceptance flight, as defined below, is not a test flight and therefore the PIC does not require a test pilot rating.
(c) However, he must be rated as PIC for the class and type of aircraft.
(d) All test flights must be done in line with the manufacturer's requirements.
