License Issued by Civial Aviation in HKSAR

Aircraft Rating (AR) Flight Test

A professional pilot's licence will not be issued unless the applicant has qualified for inclusion in the AR page of the licence in Part 1 as Pilot-In-Command (PIC) of at least one aircraft type.

In the case of an ATPL(A) the applicant must qualify for inclusion in the AR page of his licence in Part 1 a multi-engined aircraft type which:

a. is currently registered in Hong Kong ; and

b. is required to be operated by not less than two pilots.

A P2X rating (cruise relief pilot) will only be issued in respect of an aircraft which is certificated for two pilot operation and in a licence that has an AR endorsed in Part 1.

Application Procedures

1 The applicant must submit Form DCA 605 (and DCA 218 if apply on the basis of a foreign professional pilot's licence) together with all required evidence of his identity, experience and qualifications in support of his application.

2 After assessing the applicant's experience and qualifications, conversion terms will be issued. Licence will be granted only if all the conditions in the conversion terms are fulfilled.

3 An application for professional pilot's licence will not be processed normally until the applicant can show evidence of a genuine requirement to hold a Hong Kong professional pilot's licence and exercise the privileges of the licence on a Hong Kong registered aircraft.
