Sections 702.65 and 703.88 of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) govern flight crewmember qualifications pursuant to operations under Subparts 702 and 703 of the CARs. Aerial Work and Air Taxi operators may apply for Operations Specifications 057 and 012 authorizing the grouping of similar aeroplane types for recurrent pilot proficiency checks (PPCs) purposes. Schedule IV to Subsection 722.65 (3) and Schedule III to Paragraph 723.88(1)(i) of the Commercial Air Service Standards (CASS) states that PPC Groupings will be determined by application of the methodology contained in Chapter One of Transport Publication (TP) 12993E, The Common Qualification and Training Manual.
The purpose of this AC is to provide a list of approved and cancelled groupings pursuant to Subpart 702 of the CARs Aerial Work and Subpart 703 of the CARs Air Taxi for recurrent PPC purposes.
This document is applicable to Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) Headquarters and Regional personnel, and the aviation industry involved in Commercial Air Service Operations, Subpart 702 of the CARs—Aerial Work and Subpart 703 of the CARs—Air Taxi—Operations.

Following a fatal accident at Tuktoyaktuk, NWT in December 1993, the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) of Canada issued three recommendations to TCCA concerning PPC grouping policy. The three recommendations required TCCA to:
TCCA reviewed the groupings for all aeroplanes pursuant to Subpart 704 of the CARs and for all aeroplanes with a MCTOW greater than 7,000 pounds pursuant Subpart 703 of the CARs. TCCA is satisfied that the groupings for these aeroplanes, as currently published in the CASS, are valid. Any requests for new groupings for aeroplanes with a MCTOW greater than 7,000 pounds will be assessed by TCCA.
Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) 97-296 was presented to the June 18th meeting of the Canadian Aviation Regulation Advisory Council (CARAC) Commercial Air Services Operations (CASO) committee. This NPA proposed amending the standard for grouping of aeroplanes of less than 7,000 pounds MCTOW, found in Section 723.88 of the CASS, to require groupings for these aeroplanes to be based on the method found in Chapter 1 of TP 12993, The Common Qualification and Training Manual. The methodology was fully consulted with the TCCA Regions in the spring of 1997. CASO accepted the NPA without revision, and requested that all groupings under this policy be approved at TCCA Headquarters to apply in a uniform manner nationally.
Appendix A of this AC lists the approved groupings of aeroplanes for the purposes of recurrent PPCs pursuant to Subparts 702 and 703 of the CARs. The list represents all groupings that have been approved to date by TCCA of aeroplanes for the purposes of recurrent PPCs pursuant to Subparts 702 and 703 of the CARs. It does not represent all possible groupings. Air operators that would like consideration of a grouping that is not on the list of approved groupings, and is not one of the groupings cancelled, should apply to their Principal Operations Inspector (POI).
Appendix B of this AC lists the cancelled groupings of aeroplanes pursuant to Subparts 702 and 703 of the CARs. The list represents PPC groupings of aeroplanes that are cancelled by TCCA.
Suggestions for amendment to this document are invited, and should be submitted via the TCCA Issues Reporting System (CAIRS) at the following Internet address:
The following list represents all groupings that have been approved to date by TCCA of aeroplanes for the purposes of recurrent PPCs pursuant to Subparts 702 and 703 of the CARs. It does not represent all possible groupings. Air operators that would like consideration of a grouping that is not on the list of approved groupings, and is not one of the groupings cancelled, should apply to their Principal Operations Inspector (POI). The first aeroplane listed in bold font in each subparagraph is the base aeroplane for the grouping.
The following list represents PPC groupings that are cancelled by TCCA.
