Canadian Aviation Regulations
The Canadian Aviation Regulations are the rules that govern civil aviation in Canada.
Establishment
The CARs became law on October 10, 1996, replacing the former Air Regulations and Air Navigation Orders. The authority for the establishment of the CARs is the Aeronautics Act. Both the Act and the CARs are the responsibility of the Minister of Transport and her department, Transport Canada.Organization
The CARs are divided into ten functional "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 - Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems
- Part X - Greenhouse Gas Emissions from International Aviation - CORSIA
With the exception of Part V, the regulations are numbered starting at the beginning of the part. The standards are numbered in the "20" series. Advisory material is inserted in the text of the regulations and standards as "notes" or is included separately as "40" series text.
Part V of the CARs is uniquely numbered to match the US FAA FARs parts as well as the EASA and JAA regulations. As such it has regulations and standards that have the same number.
