This section describes the PDF form 26-0083 Application for Endorsement of a Rating to be submitted with all initial rating applications. When a pilot fails to qualify for a rating, he/she shall present a letter of recommendation at his/her next attempt. The section "Recommendation" of the 26-0083 form may serve as a letter of recommendation. General Aviation's Pilots Examiners (PE) should refer to the Pilot Examiner Manual regarding the admission of candidates to flight tests and other administrative issues, and to the Flight Test Guide - Instrument Rating (TP9939E) available from Transport Canada.
