SECTION 1: GENERAL ADMINISTRATION & PROCEDURES Q1 – Q10
══════════════════════════════════════
Question 1 of 66
While reviewing the AVOP renewal schedule for your ground handling team, you
notice an employee's DA-Permit is expiring next month. The employee asks about
the validity period and renewal window to ensure they do not lose driving
privileges.
A. The DA-Permit is valid for 24 months and must be renewed within 90 days of
expiry.
,2
B. The DA-Permit is valid for 12 months and must be renewed within 90 days of
expiry. ✓ CORRECT
C. The DA-Permit is valid for 12 months and must be renewed within 30 days of
expiry.
D. The DA-Permit is valid for 24 months and must be renewed within 2 months of
expiry.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: According to the YYZ AVOP manual, the DA-Permit (Apron Only) is
valid for exactly 12 months, whereas the D-Permit is valid for 24 months. Renewal
applications must be submitted within 90 days of the expiry date to maintain
continuous privileges. A common mistake is assuming both permits share the 24-
month D-Permit validity period.
Question 2 of 66
A new ramp agent wishes to upgrade their driving privileges to access taxiways
and runways. They currently hold a valid DA-Permit and are preparing their
application for a D-Permit.
A. The applicant must hold a valid DA-Permit and pass a D-Permit practical test
without any additional certifications.
B. The applicant must hold a valid DA-Permit for a minimum of 24 months before
applying.
C. The applicant must hold a valid DA-Permit and possess a Restricted Operator
Certificate – Aeronautical (ROC-A). ✓ CORRECT
D. The applicant must possess a Restricted Operator Certificate – Aeronautical
(ROC-A) and a G-class driver's license.

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The D-Permit is the only AVOP classification that authorizes vehicle
operation on both taxiways and runways at Toronto Pearson. To qualify for a D-
Permit, an applicant must first hold a valid DA-Permit and possess a Restricted
Operator Certificate – Aeronautical (ROC-A). Holding the DA-Permit alone is
insufficient, as ROC-A certification is strictly required for radio communication in
the maneuvering area.
Question 3 of 66
An operations supervisor is onboarding a new hire and needs to submit the AVOP
application. The new hire has provided their RAIC, a Class 5 driver's license, and a
signed employer endorsement form.
A. The application requirements are fully met, as a Class 5 license is equivalent to
a G2. ✓ CORRECT
B. The application is missing a Restricted Operator Certificate – Aeronautical
(ROC-A).
C. The application is missing a valid DA-Permit.
D. The application requirements are fully met, as a Class 5 license is equivalent to
a full G license.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: YYZ AVOP standards require applicants to hold a valid driver's license
equivalent to an Ontario G2 or Class 5, along with a valid RAIC and employer
endorsement. A Class 5 license from another province meets this equivalent
standard, making the application complete for a DA-Permit. The ROC-A is only
required if the applicant is upgrading to a D-Permit, not for the initial DA-Permit
application.

Question 4 of 66
During an internal audit, a GTAA compliance officer asks the ground service
provider about the record-keeping requirements for AVOP holders who have
committed airside driving violations.
A. The employer must maintain records of violations for 2 years and report them to
the GTAA monthly.
B. The employer must maintain records of violations for 3 years and make them
available upon request.
C. The employer must maintain records of violations indefinitely as part of the
employee's permanent file.
D. The employer must maintain records of violations for 5 years. ✓ CORRECT
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Employer responsibilities under the Airport Traffic Directives mandate
that companies maintain records of their employees' airside driving violations for a
period of 5 years. This ensures a comprehensive safety history is available for
GTAA compliance reviews. Maintaining records for only 2 or 3 years falls short of
the mandatory retention period and will result in an audit failure.
Question 5 of 66
A cargo handler receives a provincial license suspension due to a DUI offense off-
airport. They hold a valid DA-Permit and need to know their obligations regarding
their airside driving privileges.
A. The employee must surrender their RAIC immediately but can retain their
AVOP until it expires.
