FORMS 93 CONDITIONS OF ISSUE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT PILOT'S CERTIFICATE 1. Public Transport pilots' certificates will not be granted to persons under 21 years of age or over 45 years of age. 2. Certificates will be issued only after flying tests and practical and technical and medical tests and examinations as set out below. 3. Public Transport pilots' certificates will be issued in respect of definite types and models of types of aircraft on which the candidate can establish satisfactory proof of at least two hours' solo flying. 4. A certificate issued in respect of one or more specified types of aircraft is limited to aircraft of the specified type or types, but may be amended to include additional types, subject to the following conditions:-- (a) That the holder may not take charge of any aircraft of any given type unless he has flown an aircraft of that type for two hours, either under instruction or alone in the aircraft. (b) That the holder may not take charge of any aircraft unless he has flown an aircraft within six months for at least one hour, either alone or under instruction. (NOTE.--The expression "take charge of" is interpreted to mean that a pilot may not fly any aircraft for hire or reward, or with passengers, other than with any necessary crew.) 5. Certificates are subject to the holder if of the male sex passing a satisfactory medical examination at least every six months and if of the female sex at least every four months, and after any serious accident or illness, and may be cancelled at any time for cause. 6.

(a) A flight, during which the pilot shall attain a minimum altitude of 5,000 feet above the point of departure and finish with a glide, the throttle being fully closed at that height, the alighting made without again opening the throttle, and the aircraft brought to rest within 300 feet of a point fixed beforehand by the examining officer of the test. (b)Four flights in each of which the pilot shall take off and climb steadily until signalled [[signaled]] by the examining officer, whereupon he shall immediately close the throttle and without again opening the throttle shall alight, bringing the aircraft to rest within 150 feet of a mark selected before taking off. (ii) Test of Skill. A flight, during which the pilot shall fly at an altitude of not less than 1,500 feet above the ground or water around two marks situated at least 550 yards apart, making a series of five figure-of-eight turns, each turn reaching one of the marks. (iii) Test of Endurance. (a) A cross-country or oversea flight of at least 200 miles, beginning and ending at the same point. The candidate shall be informed of his course.
