I came across this link a while ago and am just getting around to posting it. The scan is from Smith’s Falls Flying Club’s website and details the requirements of obtaining a PPL in 1920’s Canada. The test is conducted solo with the examiner watching from the ground.

Although there are way more requirements these days, at least you don’t have to shut the engine off at 5,000′ and glide to a spot landing within 300′ of your mark! Enjoy this tidbit of Canadian aviation history…
