A former Air Canada captain has been charged after investigators allege he flew more than 900 domestic and international flights over a 17-year period without holding the Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) required to serve as captain of a major airline aircraft. Authorities claim fraudulent licensing documents were used to conceal the issue, leading to a major fraud investigation known as “Project Icarus.”

But this story is far more complicated than the headlines suggest.

The pilot allegedly held a valid Commercial Pilot Licence, passed recurrent simulator training, annual flight checks, and airline proficiency evaluations throughout his career. Air Canada has stated that safety was not compromised because of the extensive training and checking requirements all of its pilots must complete.

So what exactly is an ATPL? How could this happen? How did the airline, regulators, and auditors fail to catch it for so long? And what does this say about the layers of safety that exist within commercial aviation?

Captain Steeeve breaks down the facts, explains the licensing requirements airline pilots must meet, and discusses the questions every pilot is asking after one of the most unusual aviation stories in recent memory.
