6 Rating Examinations
6.1 A rating examination is an examination for the issue of an:
a) ATC licence and associated rating, rating endorsement (if any) and unit endorsement; or
b) additional rating, rating endorsement (if any) and unit endorsement to an existing licence.
All rating examinations will be chaired by an Inspector of ATS.
The board for a rating examination will comprise an Inspector of ATS and a unit ATC examiner. At units without unit ATC examiners the board will comprise an Inspector of ATS.
Where civilian air traffic controllers provide air traffic services at a military airfield, an ATCEB examiner may be present.
When applying for rating examinations, units shall give their ATSD Regional Manager or Head of En-Route and College Regulation, as appropriate, thirty days notice prior to the proposed examination date and to inform him of the planned number of hours for the candidate to complete the UTP.
The use of simulators to demonstrate competence at a rating examination is not permitted except that a specifically approved simulator may be used to demonstrate the application of procedures not seen during that examination.
