D. DESCRIPTION:
D1. CONTEXT
D1.1 Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) has been entrusted with the responsibility to regulate
all aviation activities. Under the framework of Civil Aviation Rules 1994 Part V ―Personnel
Licences‖, it has to issue flight crew and other required personnel licences subject to
compliance of the requirements specified in relevant CAA regulations for knowledge,
experience and skill. It achieves this by ensuring that applicant has acquired the minimum
standards of aeronautical knowledge, experience and skill required to operate safely in the
complex aviation environment. Technical Theoretical Knowledge Examinations are required
to be passed by each applicant in accordance with the syllabus and procedures provided for
relevant licence.
D1.2 Personnel licensing system of PCAA should have quality and integrity not only to promote
safety but also to ensure international recognition of the high standard of Pakistani licences.
PCAA notify syllabi of training for various licences and ratings to enable applicants to
undergo the required training in the industry, and to attain the required minimum standards.
D1.3 PCAA has implemented an examination system (e-Exams) based on Multi-Choice, Cloze,
List (Multi-Select), Type in the Answer format questions. Candidates are strongly advised to
familiarize themselves thoroughly with the PCAA style of question and associated rules prior
to appearing in the examination conducted on this e-Exam system.
D1.4 The time allocated to an examination is based on the need for a well-prepared candidate to
answer all the questions. Having completed a course of approved training, the candidate has
sole discretion and responsibility in managing the response to the examination questions
within allocated examination time.
D2.1. This ANO provides the syllabi for PPL / CPL / MPL / ATPL examinations which are derived
from technical theoretical knowledge requirements as contained in ICAO Annex-1 (Appendix
– A).

subject.
D3.3 The pass marks for PPL, CPL and ATPL (including MPL) theoretical knowledge examinations
for Flight Crew Licensing purposes shall be 70%.
D3.4 The e-Exam system will generate a different on-screen question paper for each candidate to
ensure that no two candidates will sit an identical examination, and that in the event of
candidates re-sitting exams, they are not presented with the same examination content.
D4.1 Candidates wishing to sit PCAA FCL Technical Theoretical Knowledge Examinations will be
required to register for the e-Exams service.
D4.2 Candidates can register for a secure e-Exams portal account via the PCAA website at

requirements specified by the PCAA and according to the PCAA ATO approval(s) valid and
held by the Training Organization.
D4.5 The candidate is required to specify the ATO he/she is training with by selecting from the
drop-down list presented in the e-Exams system, the nominated administrator at the ATO will
then be asked to accept the candidate. This process establishes a ‗membership‘ between
the candidate and the ATO, enabling the nominated administrator at the ATO to have sight of
the candidate‘s bookings and results to that ATO. ATO‘s administrators must sign off and
authorize candidates to sit examinations, confirming that the candidate has received the
required approved training applicable to the licence, and the ATO will receive a system
notification when a member candidate makes a booking. An ATO administrator may request
PCAA to cancel bookings made by a candidate if the candidate has not received the required
training. This will result in a loss of the examination fee(s).

or in the case that the account is already created, this account will be suspended.
D4.8 If a candidate has been inadvertently permitted to undertake an exam without satisfying the
appropriate prequalification requirement(s), this shall be taken as the candidate knowingly
appearing in a PCAA exam without qualifying pre-requisite of the exam. PCAA will consider
any pass result(s) in such exam(s) as null and void and invalidate such examinations. This
will result in a loss of the examination fee(s).
D4.9 Candidates are required to specify during e-Exam registration which personal photographic
identification document they will present at the e-Exam venue. This ID will be verified by the
PCAA and shall be recorded for checking by the examination invigilator each time a

must be current and the original) at the examination venue for each examination. Failure to
do so will result in the candidate being unable to sit the examination. Acceptable ID
Documents are as given below:
D4.11 Successful completion of the registration will result in a system generated notification being
emailed to the candidate advising that they have registered but will not be able to make exam
bookings until verified as eligible to sit by PCAA and the selected ATO.
D4.12 PCAA will endeavour to process candidate registrations within 5 clear working days for
standard cases. However, the process may be extended for more complex cases and where
eligibility to sit exams needs to be investigated. PCAA reserves the right to restrict or deny
access to the e-Exams platform at its sole discretion at any time.
D5.1 Candidates will receive a system generated notification once PCAA have verified and
approved their details, thus enabling bookings to be made for FCL technical theoretical

v. Offensive or aggressive behaviour towards any examinations personnel.
D7.9 The examination venue is installed with Closed Circuit Television Cameras (CCTV) which will
monitor all examination events.
D7.10 Candidates are required to observe the terms and conditions of examinations conduct,
including all Invigilator instructions, at all times. Failure to do so will result in sanctions being
applied to the candidates for misconduct.
D7.11 Smoking and visiting toilets during the paper is not permitted.
D7.12 Restrictions may apply in addition to the above, in the event of Public Health and/or related
country restrictions.
D8.2 Results may be delayed in release where PCAA is required to review any conduct or
misconduct issues pertaining to a candidate (or candidates) or conditions of examination
delivery.
D8.3 Results and Knowledge Deficiency Reports (KDRs) will be available in the E-Exams
Candidate portal (and organization Portal for an ATO with whom the candidate has an
approved membership). An email notification will be sent to the candidate (and ATO where a
membership relationship exists) to advise once the results are available. The candidate will
receive a separate result notification for each examination they have completed.
D8.4 The KDR for a PPL, CPL, or ATPL (including for MPL) Flight Crew examination is issued with
the result advice for a completed examination and lists the syllabus items the candidate has
not answered correctly.
D8.5 The KDR information provides the candidates and ATO with a rapid means of identifying the
syllabus item for re-studying and re-testing. A candidate who obtains a 100% score in a
PCAA examination will not have any syllabus item on the KDR. Similarly, a candidate who
scores 50% or less will also not receive any specific syllabus items on the KDR. PCAA
considers a candidate who fails to achieve at least 51% as not being sufficiently trained nor
prepared for the examination attempt. Such a performance requires a complete re-visit of the
entire syllabus for the subject if re-training is contemplated. Therefore, a candidate who fails to
achieve at least 51% in a PCAA examination shall restudy the entire syllabus prior to any resit.
D9.2 Candidates shall pass any subject for the Licence sought within six (6) examination attempts.
Should a candidate fail on a fourth attempt, the candidate will be blocked from booking the
failed examination(s) for sixty (60) - days to enable the candidate to receive appropriate
additional training before being permitted a maximum of two (2) further attempts to pass the
previously failed examination(s). If a candidate fails the examination(s) on the sixth attempt,
all results for that licence shall be rendered failed and the candidate shall re-take the
complete set of examinations for the licence after completing appropriate (to the satisfaction
of the ATO and PCAA) re-training.
D9.3 The ‗stand down‘ period(s) limits and further attempts must be completed within the 18
months from the date of the first examination, as in 9.1 above.
D9.4 A failed examination attempt indicates the candidate has a significant knowledge deficiency
on the subject tested. This is a safety-related issue, which must be addressed by the
candidate prior to re-attempting the failed exam. Candidates will be provided with a result
notification that will provide a statement of the candidate‘s knowledge deficiency.
D9.5 Examination failures, especially repetitive failures on the same subject, would generally be a
consequence of inadequate re-training or/and the candidate‘s personal difficulties in attaining
the required standards.
D9.6 Following any examination failures, there must be a period of re-training time to ensure the
candidate has a reasonable chance of reaching the required standards to pass the PCAA
exam. Before re-taking the examinations, the candidate shall undertake further training at
their designated ATO. The extent and scope of the training needed shall be determined by
the ATO based on the needs of the candidate and according to any specific guidance
outlined by the PCAA.
D9.7 There are no specific rules for what constitutes appropriate re-training as the remedial
training a candidate will require may vary from individual to individual. PCAA trust that theory
providers conducting remedial training will have a responsible approach, knowing that
candidates have already failed this particular subject on multiple occasions.
Verify that the individual has an adequate understanding of other key elements within
that particular subject, particularly those which are safety related.
D9.9 In most cases, this would not require the candidate to re-sit a complete classroom course as
though they had never studied for that subject, unless the candidate fails to complete all
examinations for the licence sought within eighteen (18) months (as specified in D9.1 above).
D9.11 Candidates and ATOs are reminded that initial training and (where required) re-training will
be subject to review by the PCAA at any point during the examination and licensing process,
and during ATO oversight audits, to ensure the minimum mandated requirements are
adhered to. Any failure to comply with these requirements may result in the nullification of
examination results, revocation of approval / licence and potential enforcement action.
D10.3 The review fee should be paid to PCAA by the candidate at the time of request in accordance
with PCAA publication ASC-004-LCXX ―Flight Crew Licence Examination charges and
Payment procedure‖.
D10.4 Review must be requested within 14 calendar days of the date of taking the examination in
question.
D10.5 The examination review fee is fully refundable if an error is found, and the candidate marks
are adjusted accordingly.
D10.6 This service is expected to be completed within 10 workings days of receipt of the request. A
message notification, explaining the findings and closing actions will be added to the 'User
Messages' area in the candidate portal.
D10.7 Candidates are also able to make comments against questions during an examination.
Entering a comment during the examination does not constitute a Full Review but comments
are reviewed by the e-Exams Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). Feedback is used to maintain
the integrity and effectiveness of the examination content and will be reviewed should a
candidate request a full technical review.
D11.2 The material used in cheating / improper conduct e.g., mobile phones, books, written
material or any other electronic gadget will be confiscated and if required will be produced
as evidence the time of enquiry.
