ACP Training—Staying at the Forefront

CHC's Transport Canada-certified Approved Check Pilot (ACP) courses educate both fixed- and rotary-wing pilots on the latest developments in performance of flight evaluations. The English speaking courses focus on the process of conducting flight and pilot proficiency checks, including:

• Pre-flight activities including the flight-check briefing.
• Flight-check and associated performance standards upon which flight-check sequences are assessed.
• Post-flight activities including debriefing and completion of flight-check documentation.

ACP Validity

The Initial Transport Canada ACP Delegation of Authority expires on the first day of the thirteenth (13th) month following the date of issue. All renewal authorities expire on the first day of the thirty-seventh (37th) month following the date of renewal.

CHC ACP Courses

We offer the following ACP training programs:

• ACP Initial with Practical
  Six days (Monday to Saturday)
  The ACP Initial with Practical Course emphasizes instrument flight rules and procedures.
  • It includes a practical application segment where course participants perform two flight-check grading sessions. For a candidate who has never previously held a delegation of authority, but is seeking an IFR delegation.
  • For an IFR ACP whose delegation has lapsed more than 3 years.
• ACP Initial - Theory Only and ACP Recurrent (courses run concurrently)
  Four days (Monday to Thursday)
  The ACP Initial – Theory Only/Recurrent Course provides an update of the approved check-pilot program, including: policy and procedural changes, check-pilot issues arising from the ACP Workshop, and other information pertinent to flight checking. Participants will grade a series of flight-check scenarios.
  • For a candidate who has never previously held a delegation of authority, but is seeking a VFR delegation.
• ACP Recurrent
  
  • For IFR or VFR renewal (Recurrent has the same content as Initial - Theory only).

All classroom instruction is conducted at our training facility near Vancouver International Airport - South Terminal. Practical training is conducted at Abbotsford Airport.
