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. DETAILS OF TECHNICAL EXAMINATIONS

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

PCAA TECHNICAL EXAMINATIONS (PPL / CPL / ATPL / MPL)

D2.2. The details of Technical Theoretical Knowledge Examinations required for a specific Flight
Crew Licence including a breakdown of syllabi, reference to detailed learning objectives,
examination structure, number of questions and examination duration for the licensing
examination as per details given below:

S. No. Licence / Rating / Certificate Appendix


1. Private Pilot Licence: Aeroplane & Helicopter B
2. Commercial Pilot Licence: Aeroplane & Helicopter C
3. Airline Transport Pilot Licence: Aeroplane & Helicopter C
4. Multi-Crew Pilot Licence: Aeroplane C

D2.3. In addition to the syllabi, each Appendix to this ANO provides a weblink to the detailed
learning objectives (LOs) relevant to the licensing examination. These LOs inform the
structure and depth of knowledge requirements for the purpose of teaching and learning.

D2.4. PCAA e-Exams are managed by independent PCAA officials including supervisors, and/or
PCAA officially appointed examination service provider(s). PCAA Personnel licensing
examination administrators process registrations and accept payments.

D2.5. PCAA examinations are invigilated by the PCAA appointed service provider providing the e-
Exams system.

D2.6. e-Exams are held only at PCAA approved venue(s). Venue information, including location
and schedule, is published in the e-Exams booking system which is accessible to all Flight
Crew Examination candidates and Approved Training Organizations (ATOs) registered in e-
exam system. All such examinations shall be under the supervision of the e-Exams service
provider appointed by the PCAA to act on behalf of the PCAA.

D3. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS – PAPER SETTING:


D3.1 All question papers are as per the syllabi provided in the applicable Appendix contained
within this ANO. The syllabi are derived from the technical knowledge requirements as
specified in ICAO Annex-1 (Appendix – A), based on PCAA requirements and standards,
using best practices derived from United Kingdom and European standards and associated
applicable documents.

D3.2 All examinations for initial issue of a licence shall be based on the licence type and the
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. REGISTERING TO SIT EXAMS

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
PCAA | Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (caapakistan.com.pk)

D4.3 To register for e-Exams, candidates are required to provide personal details including
permanent address; full name; date of birth; telephone number, email address as well as
creating a secure password and providing details of the Photographic Identification (ID)
document that they will be bringing to the examination. Candidates will also be required to

04/04/2022 Page 2 of 9 ANO-033-LCXX-1.0


PCAA TECHNICAL EXAMINATIONS (PPL / CPL / ATPL / MPL)

select their approved training organization (ATO) unless they are exempted from training.

Specifying ATO / Eligibility to Sit Examinations

D4.4 Candidates may be eligible to take an e-Exam subject to meeting the minimum training
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).

D4.6 For a candidate who is exempt from the requirement of completing approved training with an
ATO, the candidate must contact PCAA PEL Directorate directly for further instructions on
email; [email protected].

D4.7 Candidates who have been barred / suspended by PCAA from sitting examinations and
whose suspension period is not yet completed will not have their e-Exams account approved,
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).

Photographic Identification (ID) Requirements

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
candidate undertakes an examination. The candidate must present this specific ID (which
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:

 Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) issued by NADRA


 NICOP (National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistani)
 Passport (for foreign nationals)
Candidates shall contact the PCAA PEL Directorate should their ID expire or become invalid,
necessitating the need to update e-Exams systems ID records.
D4.10 Once the candidate provides the required identity information and specifies the ATO, the
ATO membership request will be initiated and the PCAA Examinations Administrator will
complete the final validation stage for service access to be enabled. Candidates (and ATO‘s
where applicable) will then be able to access the service. Candidates shall e-mail to PCAA
administrator for approval of their registration forwarding their details at following address:
[email protected]

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.

04/04/2022 Page 5 of 9 ANO-033-LCXX-1.0


PCAA TECHNICAL EXAMINATIONS (PPL / CPL / ATPL / MPL)

D7.3 All examinations desks are equipped with a monitor, keyboard and a mouse ready for the e-
Exam to commence.

D7.4 A verbal briefing will be delivered to all candidates by the Invigilator and candidates will be
asked to read and accept (by signing) the examinations conditions presented in an e-
Examinations Candidate login form available on each candidate‘s designated desk.
Examinations will be invalidated if a candidate fails to sign the login form.

D7.5 Candidates will have received in their booking confirmation a list of permitted, prohibited and
supplied materials for the specific examination subject being sat. Only permitted or supplied
materials will be available for use, no other items are permitted in the exam room.

D7.6 Candidates will be instructed by the invigilator to commence the examinations by entering
their login details and clicking the ‗start‘ button when instructed. The examination will then
continue until the duration is completed or the examination is ceased early by the candidate.

D7.7 When an examination is completed by the candidate, they will be required to raise their hand
to attract the attention of the Invigilator who will then finalize (including collecting supplied
materials) the examination to permit the candidate to leave.

D7.8 The following is strictly prohibited:

i. Candidates using any items not described in the permitted or supplied materials list.
ii. Any mobile phone, communications device, storage device, electronic or otherwise.
iii. Any video imaging or audio recording devices.
iv. The removal of any exam materials from the exam room
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. EXAMINATION RESULTS AND KNOWLEDGE DEFICIENCY REPORTS:


D8.1 Results shall be released to the candidate on a date/time determined at the sole discretion of
the PCAA PEL Directorate. As a general rule, this will be at the end of the examination.

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

04/04/2022 Page 6 of 9 ANO-033-LCXX-1.0


PCAA TECHNICAL EXAMINATIONS (PPL / CPL / ATPL / MPL)

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. RE-TRAINING PERIODS AND EXAM RESITS


D9.1 If a candidate has failed to pass all Technical Theoretical Knowledge Examinations for the
licence sought within an eighteen (18)-month period from the date of taking their first
examination, 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) additional re-training

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.

D9.8 As a minimum, PCAA would expect the theory provider to:


 Go through each of the items mentioned in training programme which is required for
that subject;

 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).

Evidence from a Theory Provider or CFI


D9.10 A record of re-training, including the following information, must be retained by the training
provider / ATO in the candidate training record for PCAA PEL Directorate audit and oversight
inspection purposes:

04/04/2022 Page 7 of 9 ANO-033-LCXX-1.0


PCAA TECHNICAL EXAMINATIONS (PPL / CPL / ATPL / MPL)

a. The name and reference number of candidate;


b. The subject name for which the training was provided;
c. A statement or description about the training that they have received, i.e. what training
did they complete, progress examinations, private tuition, review of their items, etc; and
the name of the person/organization who conducted the training.
Note: Candidate should realize that this procedure must be repeated for each subsequent
failure(s) as given in this ANO.

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. CANDIDATES REQUEST FOR REVIEW


D10.1 A candidate can request a Full Review which is a comprehensive investigation into the
accuracy and integrity of examination content and materials delivered to the candidate during
a specific test.

D10.2 Candidates must formally request a ―Review‖ by emailing the request to


[email protected] providing the detail of paper to be reviewed.

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. PENALTIES FOR USING UNFAIR MEANS:


D11.1 Penalties resulting from improper conduct / using unfair means or cheating will be
determined by the PCAA PEL Directorate in consultation with the PCAA Legal branch.
Penalties as given in the Enforcement Manual and PCAA Policies shall be levied if it is
ascertained that the candidate is guilty of using unfair means. Penalties maybe time
barring, monetary or both. A written report of the incident along with the penalty levied
on the candidate will be sent to the ATO / Operator who had initially forwarded the
candidate‗s name for the examination.

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.
