Chapter 6:  Duration and Renewal of Air Traffic Controller Licence, Ratings, Endorsements and Qualifications

Section 6.1:  General

6.1.1                     Introduction

6.1.1.1                This chapter contains standards for the duration and renewal of Air Traffic Control Licences and annotations.

6.1.2                     Licence

6.1.2.1                An Air Traffic Controller Licence shall remain valid for the lifetime of the holder, provided the conditions specified in CASR Part 65 continue to be met, unless the licence is suspended or cancelled by CASA.

6.1.3                     Ratings

6.1.3.1                Subject to CASRs and these Standards, a rating annotated on an Air Traffic Controller Licence remains in force for the period for which the licence remains in force, or a period of 12 months, whichever is less.

6.1.4                     Rating Examinations

6.1.4.1                For renewal of a rating annotated in an Air Traffic Controller Licence, the licence holder must pass a written examination in the subjects appropriate to the particular rating. These examinations must be administered by CASA or a Certified ATS Training Organisation or an ATS Certificate holder.

6.1.4.2                The overall pass standard must be 100 percent.

6.1.4.3                The minimum acceptable initial response for each group of questions must be 80 percent.

6.1.4.4                An average of 80 percent over the whole examination, including any questions failed, must not in itself be an acceptable initial response.

6.1.4.5                Failure to obtain at least 80 percent for each group of questions shall necessitate supplementary written examination.

6.1.4.6                Where 80 percent or greater, but less than 100 percent is attained for any group of questions, the examinee must provide additional correct responses to an oral examination to attain the required 100 percent.

6.1.4.7                An examination for the renewal of a rating which has not lapsed, may be conducted without supervision and with reference to any documents, maps, charts, or other reference material — that is, it may be an 'open book' examination.

6.1.4.8                There must be no time limit on this examination. However, the examination must be completed within 12 months of the previous rating examination if the rating is not to lapse.

6.1.4.9                The minimum number of questions pertaining to each rating must be 20. A rating examination may be conducted concurrently with an endorsement examination provided the examination includes both the minimum number of questions (20) for each rating component and the minimum number of questions specific to each endorsement, as required by this chapter, Chapter 6 (Endorsements). Examination questions must be chosen randomly for each candidate from a pool of
