Remind the class of any upcoming quizzes or important dates. This class will introduce air law in Canada and some of the documents and agencies that support civil aviation. At the end of the class, you should have a basic understanding of Canadian air law and the publications and agencies that support aviation.

This is the act that enables/empowers the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs). Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs): CARs are a compilation of regulatory requirements designed to enhance safety and the competitiveness of the Canadian aviation industry. Are divided into two subcomponents: Regulatory text: these can be found on the Justice Laws Website. They are law. They can be easily identified as the second digit is a zero “0”. They take precedence over the standards, so if there is ever a disagreement between the two subcomponents (regulatory text and standards), the regulatory text is taken as correct. Example: CAR 401.05 Recency Requirements Standards: the standards can be found on Transport Canada’s website. Standards are meant to elaborate on the regulatory text. They can easily be identified as the second digit is a two “2”. Not all regulatory text has associated standards. Example: 421.05 Recency Requirements, expands on the information found in CAR 401.05, but not all the points found in CAR 401.05 are expanded on in 421.05. It is always recommended to read the Regulatory text and the associated standards together to properly understand the CARs. Subsection of the CARs: CARs correspond to the broad areas of aviation which Transport Canada, Civil Aviation is mandated to regulate. CARs are broken down into 9 main components called “Parts”: Part I General Provisions Part II Aircraft Identification and Registration and Operation of a Leased Aircraft by a Non- registered Owner Part III Aerodromes, Airports and Heliports Part IV Personnel Licensing and Training Part V Airworthiness Part VI General Operating and Flight Rules Part VII Commercial Air Services Part VIII Air Navigation Services Part IX Repeals and Coming into Force October 21, 2024 Page 4/7 National Ground School Program 401.01 401.01.02 TC AIM The Transport Canada Aeronautical Information Manual (TC AIM) can be found free online or hard copy and contains detailed information about Air Law including aerodromes, meteorology, rules of the air, Air Traffic Control, licensing and airmanship. New editions of the TC AIM are published twice a year. The term “should” implies that TC encourages all pilots to conform to the applicable procedure. This means that it is not supported by regulation (CARs) but is recommended and usually improves safety and supports best practices in aviation. The term “shall” implies that the applicable procedure is mandatory as it is supported by regulation (CARs). 401.01.03 CANADA FLIGHT SUPPLEMENT (CFS) The Canada Flight Supplement (CFS) is a joint civil/military publication. The civilian organization involved in the publication of the CFS is NAV CANADA. A new version is issued ever 56 days. The publication contains the following sections: General: Tables, legends and associated information pertinent to interpretation of the supplement. Aerodrome Directory: Data and sketches for Canadian aerodromes and heliports and selected aerodromes in the North Atlantic. Planning: Information for flight planning, characteristics of airspace, chart updating, flight restrictions, Instrument Flight Rule routes, airway intersections and chart distributors. Radio Navigation and Communications: Data for radio navigation aids and communication facilities. Military: Flight procedures and data, including sections on procedures for flight in the USA, North Atlantic and Alaska, air/ground communications and military training routes/areas. Emergency: Emergency procedures. 401.01.04 TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD OF CANADA (TSB) The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) was established under the Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board Act. responsible for investigating all transportation occurrences in Canada, including Canadian or non-Canadian registered aircraft investigators are on 24-hour standby October 21, 2024 Page 5/7 National Ground School Program 401.01 objective of an aviation safety investigation is to prevent further occurrences does not assign blame or liability NOTE: The RCAF Director of Flight Safety carries out this role for the ACGP 401.01.05 NAV CANADA SERVICES In Canada ATC Services are provided by NAV CANADA. Some NAV CANADA services include: Area Control Centers (ACC): Canada’s Airspace is divided into 7 flight information regions and each one has an area control centre. These centres control aircraft that are en route, approaching or departing airports. They provide ATC services to IFR flights and controlled VFR flights. Air Traffic Control Towers: Canada’s busier airports are equipped with an ATC Tower that controls traffic on and around the airport to maintain safety and keep the traffic moving in an orderly fashion. Flight Service station (FSS): At less busy airports FSS will provide advisory services to aircraft, including things such as traffic in the area, runway conditions, winds, weather, amongst other things. Flight Information Centre (FIC): Manned with flight service specialists that help pilots by filing and closing flight plans, providing weather and advisory services and they will notify emergency services when an aircraft is late or missing. Community Aerodrome Radio Stations (CARS): A contracted service to provide weather and communication services in Canada’s north (Territories and northern Quebec). CONFIRMATION Confirmation questions: Q: If you see the number 426.21 where would this part of the CARs be found and is it regulatory or a standard? A: TC website, it is a standard Q: What does the term “shall” imply? A: That the procedure described is mandatory and part of the CARs Q: What can be found in the CFS? October 21, 2024 Page 6/7 National Ground School Program 401.01 A: General, Aerodrome Directory, Planning, Radio navigation and Communications, Military, Emergency Q: What does TBS do? A: Investigates aviation accidents and incidents that occur in Canada, not assign blame Q: What is an ACC? A: Area Control Centre (ACC): Canada’s Airspace is divided into 7 flight information regions and each one has an area control centre. These centres control aircraft that are en route, approaching or departing airports. They provide ATC services to IFR flights and controlled VFR flights. CONCLUSION Remind class of any upcoming quizzes if applicable. This class we discussed important aviation documents and agencies. You should be familiar with this cornerstone information because as a pilot you will be responsible for following the laws and knowing where to find information. October 21, 2024 Page 7/7
