HAGAR Study Guide

Any pilot flying in controlled airspace or applying for an Intermediate rating must write the HAGAR examination. This is a Transport Canada requirement and the law.

In order to write your HAGAR exam, Transport Canada requires you (the individual) to provide a Category 4, self-declared medical form (advised to consult with your physician before filling it out) found on the forms page with the current fee Transport Canada is charging. Some schools provide the test. Ask your local school or hang gliding contact for information.

The exam is also still offered at local Transport Canada offices in some cities. Check the Transport Canada site to find out where.

The HPAC / ACVL has developed a HAGAR Study Guide to assist pilots with the exam. Here is another HAGAR study manual developed in French by Bosco Daude.

Transport Canada has also now posted the HAGAR exam components online:
