Flying training

Flight Training & Testing Office

The Flight Testing & Training Office provides support for Approved Testing Officers in the flying training industry. Specifically, if you hold testing approvals such as GFPT, PPL, NVFR, CIR and/or FIR for aeroplanes or helicopters, you will be participating in this program.

The FTTO does not cover Approved Testing Officers within a CAR 217 Training and Checking organisation.
