Hi everyone,

I’m trying to track down some guidance or a possible contact for a Transport Canada ACP/check pilot with Embraer E-Jet experience.

The situation is this:

We’re looking at full initial training for Canadian CPL holders on the Embraer 170/175/190 family, likely through FlightSafety, with the goal of a Canadian E170 type rating/PPC. The aircraft they would ultimately be flying is the E1 series side, such as the E175/E190, not the E2.

We are trying to understand who may be authorized, or could potentially be authorized, to conduct the Transport Canada PPC/type-rating flight test in a simulator such as FlightSafety Paris or St. Louis.

Ideally looking for someone who has direct experience with:

- Transport Canada ACP authority on the Embraer E170/E175/E190 family
- E1 versus E2 type/differences considerations
- PPCs conducted in foreign Level D simulators
- Canadian type-rating paperwork after training outside Canada

Not looking to waste anyone’s time or make assumptions. Just trying to get pointed in the right direction before we commit to a training provider.

If anyone knows an ACP, training manager, or someone at Porter/Jazz/Air Canada/TC who has dealt with this before, I’d really appreciate a message.

Thanks in advance.

I see nobody has replied.

I have some suggestions:-

Contact the training organisations with your requirements and see what they can do for you.

Make sure that any Sim you use has been approved by Transport Canada.

It is possible to designate foreign licence holders as examiners. No idea what is possible in Canada.

You should definitely involve Transport Canada to find out what they will accept.

Good luck.
