Dans la Loi sur l'aéronautique (C.22 - Transporteurs aériens utilisant des avions petits porteurs) on dit que l'épreuve de contrôle de compétence doit être subie sous l'autorité d'un inspecteur du ministère des Transports. De plus, dans l'annuaire téléphonique du Gouvernement canadien, on retrouve un service qui s'appelle "Inspection des transporteurs aériens". On peut donc déduire que l'inspecteur responsable des épreuves de contrôle de compétence est un inspecteur des transporteurs aériens. 2, record 9, French, - inspecteur%20des%20transporteurs%20a%C3%A9riens
