Pilot Permit - Ultra-light Aeroplane
Second Edition
April 1997
Applicants who apply for a Pilot Permit for ultra-light aeroplanes, shall pass a Department of Transport written examination (ULTRA) on those subjects listed below.
ULTRA consists of 50 questions selected from this guide. The pass mark is 90% and the examination may be written at any Transport Canada Regional Office. Upon completion of the examination a feedback letter will be issued keyed to this guide and indicating those areas where questions were missed. In the interest of flight safety, it is very important that you thoroughly review your weak knowledge areas.
There is a new Ultralight written exam in place. There will no longer be a bank of questions available and the pass mark is now 60%.
Applicants should research the references provided to determine the correct response to the questions rather than being provided with the answers and resorting to rote learning.
The subject areas examined by ULTRA are:
- Canadian Aviation Regulations
- Air Traffic Control Clearances and Instructions
- Air Traffic Control procedures as they apply to the control of VFR traffic
- Air Traffic procedures at uncontrolled aerodromes and airports
- Special VFR Regulations
- NOTAM
- Communication procedures
- Ground blast areas
- Wake turbulence
- Weight and Balance
- Human Factors
- Aviation Occurrences
We cooked up an online test based on the Guide back in 2000. It is no longer valid as a QandA resource because of the new exam format. However you can try it and see if it helps you!
Javascript and frames are required.
Actually there are two versions. The first version works with older browsers, and doesn't change. The second version will work with ver4 or later browsers (uses DHTML) and changes the answer order and even the order of questions, so that you don't get used to where the answer is (eg; the third one or the second one. etc.).
The Study Guide has been moved to another site. It is still referenced from here. Please click here to go to the Study Guide!
There will be a new version of the study guide coming online shortly, please use the above one for now, and check back for the new version...
