- Licence restricted;
- Permit restricted;
- 3 months only;
- 6 months only;
- 9 months only;
- 12 months only;
- 24 months only;
- Subject to letter dated;
- Private Pilot Licence (PPL) privileges – 12 months only;
- Valid only when another air traffic controller available and competent to assume your duties;
- With an accompanying pilot;
- Not valid for Civil Aviation Medical Examiner (CAME) renewal.
The new measure is valid until either March 31, 2021 or when the Minister of Transport cancels it, whichever occurs first.
