Licence without Type Rating (LWTR) does not in itself confer any certification responsibilities or privileges. It is however, a prerequisite for the grant of the relevant Type Ratings which confer the privileges of certification appropriate to that Type Rating.

Before applying for the grant of LWTR an applicant must have passed all necessary written examinations. For certain qualifications i.e. High Technical qualifications or experience from the Ghana Armed Forces partial exemption from the licence examination may be granted.

An application for the grant or extension of a Licence without Type Rating should be made on CA Form 3 Applicants should ensure that they use forms of the current version.

The CA Form 3 requires information on the nature of experience, the periods during which the experience has been gained and signatures required in confirmation. Completion of aeronautical engineering courses, foreign licences and professional qualifications should be submitted to the Authority in support of the application when relevant. If copy documents are submitted these shall be certified as a true copy by the person who confirms the experience on the CA Form 3.

Having satisfied the above requirements and that of CAR 2.6.1.4, CAR. IS: 2.6, 3.4.2.3 coupled with the payment of the prescribed fee, the licence may be issued.
