    Aeronautics Act

    The legal document governing aviation in Canada. It empowers the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs).

    Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs)

    A compilation of regulatory requirements designed to enhance safety and competitiveness in the Canadian aviation industry. They are divided into two main components: regulatory text and standards.

    CARs: Regulatory Text

    The written regulations found on the Justice Laws Website. They are the law. They can be easily identified as the second digit is a zero "0".

    CARs: Standards

    Elaborations on the regulatory text found on Transport Canada's website. They are meant to clarify and expand on the regulations. They can be easily identified as the second digit is a two "2".

    Study Notes

    Air Law and Procedures (401.01)

    • Aeronautical Information: The program covers Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs), the Transport Canada Aeronautical Information Manual (TC AIM), the Canada Flight Supplement (CFS), and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB).

    • Introduction to CARs: The Aeronautics Act is the legal framework for aviation in Canada. The Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) are regulatory requirements that enhance safety and industry competition. They are divided into regulatory text (law, digit zero) and standards (elaborations, digit two). Regulatory text takes precedence.

    • Subsections of CARs: CARs are categorized into parts covering general provisions, aircraft identification/registration, aerodromes, personnel licensing, airworthiness, general operations, commercial services, air navigation services, and repeals/future implementations.

    • Canadian Aviation Regulations and Documents:

      • TC AIM: A manual providing detailed information on air law, encompassing things like aerodromes, meteorology, rules of the air, air traffic control, licensing, airmanship
      • Canada Flight Supplement (CFS): A joint civil/military publication providing data and details about Canadian aerodromes, radio navigation, planning, military/emergency procedures, and more. Updated every 56 days.
      • Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB): Investigates transportation incidents, focusing on preventing future occurrences. This board does not assign blame.
    • NAV CANADA Services: Provides air traffic control (ATC) services for Canada, with services such as Area Control Centers (ACCs) for controlling aircraft en route and Air Traffic Control Towers for airports. Flight service stations (FSS) provide advisory services, and Flight Information Centers (FIC) help with flight planning, weather, and emergency services. Community Aerodrome Radio Stations (CARS) provide communications.

    • Preparation for Class: Prepare PowerPoint presentation materials, electronic links, and on-screen displays of CARs. For in-person instruction, prepare necessary equipment.

    Key Concepts (401.01)

    • Regulatory Text: Laws, easily identifiable by the second digit being zero in the CAR number.
    • Standards: Elaborate on regulatory text, identified with a second digit of two in the CAR number. If there is a discrepancy, regulatory text takes precedence.
    • "Should" and "Shall": "Should" implies a recommended procedure; "Shall" means a mandatory requirement.
    • "Area Control Centers (ACC)": Control aircraft en route, approaching, and departing airports in Canada's airspace.
    • "Air Traffic Control (ATC) Towers": Monitor and control traffic at busy airports.
