Which lighting equipment is mandatory for night VFR operations according to CAR?
Strobe lights
Position lights
Taxi lights

Position lights (navigation lights) are required for night operations to ensure visibility of the aircraft's orientation to others.
What type of flight is required under CAR after completing major maintenance or a major alteration before returning the aircraft to service?
Acceptance Flight
functional Check Flight
Ferry Flight
Certification Flight
A functional Check Flight verifies the aircraft's performance and handling after major maintenance or alteration. It is distinct from a simple ferry or acceptance flight.
The 100-hour inspection interval under CAR applies to which category of operations?
Military training exercises
Private recreational flying
Unlicensed amateur-built aircraft
Aircraft used for hire or reward
The 100-hour inspection is mandated for aircraft used in commercial operations (hire or reward). Private flights do not require this interval.
An airworthiness directive issued under CAR requires action within 50 hours. Can an operator defer compliance due to operational necessity?
Yes, if logged in the aircraft's maintenance record
No, unless approved by the aircraft manufacturer
Yes, with prior written approval from the operator
No, compliance is mandatory and cannot be deferred
Airworthiness Directives are legally binding and must be complied with within the specified timeframe. There is no allowance for deferral due to operational needs.
Which part of the CAR outlines Safety Management System (SMS) requirements for larger air operators?
Part IV Subpart 1
Part III Subpart 400
Part VII Subpart 705
Part VI Subpart 100
Part VII Subpart 705 of the CAR specifies SMS requirements for commercial air services with larger operators. Other parts address different operations.
What type of certification document is required for a significant modification to a type-certified aircraft under CAR?
Supplemental Type Certificate
Experimental Certificate
Special Flight Permit
Field Approval Certificate
A Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) is issued by Transport Canada to approve significant modifications. Other permits address temporary or special conditions.
For noise certification under CAR, which international standard is referenced?
ICAO Annex 14
EASA CS-36
FAA Part 36
ICAO Annex 16
Noise certification for Canadian aircraft references ICAO Annex 16, which sets international noise standards. Annex 14 covers aerodrome certification.
If a document deviation is discovered in a flight release, what corrective action is required under CAR?
No further action if the deviation is minor
Immediate notification to Transport Canada and correction of the document
Record the deviation and review during the next maintenance cycle
Report at the next scheduled internal audit
Any deviation in required documents must be promptly corrected and reported to Transport Canada. Delaying action or ignoring minor errors is not permitted.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Structure of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) - The CARs are split into ten logical parts covering airworthiness, personnel licensing, general operating rules, and more. Understanding how this framework works helps you quickly pinpoint the correct regulations for any situation. Treat each part as a chapter in a pilot's rulebook, guiding you through the complex world of Canadian aviation. Canadian Aviation Regulations Overview
  2. Maintenance Control Manual (MCM) - Think of the MCM as your maintenance bible - it lays out all the procedures that keep aircraft in top shape. Air operators must follow the MCM to maintain safety, aircraft integrity, and compliance with Transport Canada. Mastering its structure ensures you can troubleshoot maintenance issues and audit processes with confidence. Maintenance Control Manual Requirements
  3. Air Operator Certificate Application Process - To fly commercially, you need an Air Operator Certificate (AOC), which means gathering forms and documentation on operations, personnel qualifications, maintenance programs, and safety procedures. Completing these steps correctly is crucial for legal compliance and public confidence. Once you've got your AOC, you're officially cleared for commercial air service operations! Air Operator Certificate Application Process
  4. Operational Flight Plan (OFP) Guidelines - Crafting an OFP is like building your flight's DNA, detailing routing, fuel planning, weight and balance, and alternate airports. A precise OFP not only ensures safety but can also boost fuel efficiency and prevent headaches in flight. Practice building sample OFPs to gain confidence in real-world planning. Operational Flight Plan Guidelines
  5. Weight and Balance Control Procedures - Keeping an aircraft's center of gravity within limits is non-negotiable for safe flight. Learn to calculate the empty weight, operational weight, and balance envelope to ensure every takeoff is smooth. A little practice with real numbers can turn a daunting calculation into second nature. Weight and Balance Control Procedures
  6. Passenger and Cabin Safety Procedures - From boarding protocols to emergency evacuations, cabin safety procedures keep passengers and crew secure every mile of the journey. Brush up on seating arrangements, lifejacket demonstrations, and communication drills. Remember, confident cabin crews make happy passengers! Passenger and Cabin Safety Procedures
  7. Aircraft Operating Manual Requirements - Your Aircraft Operating Manual is the ultimate go-to guide for everything from normal procedures to emergency checklists. Ensure it's complete with performance charts, system descriptions, and operational limits. Regularly review your AOM so you're always ready for any situation in the cockpit. Aircraft Operating Manual Requirements
  8. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) Guidelines - SOPs are like the choreography of flight operations, spelling out who does what and when during normal and non-normal situations. Sticking to SOPs reduces errors, improves teamwork, and keeps flights running smoothly. Role-play different scenarios to make SOPs muscle memory! Standard Operating Procedures Guidelines
  9. Airworthiness Regulations - Part V of the CARs spells out how to maintain, manufacture, and certify aircraft to ensure they're fit for the sky. You'll dig into inspection schedules, maintenance standards, and reporting requirements. Knowing these rules inside out means you'll always keep aircraft safety at the forefront. Airworthiness Regulations
  10. Commercial Air Services Regulations - Part VII covers commercial aviation rules, including flight operations, crew qualifications, and safety management systems. Grasp these regulations to ensure any commercial flight you plan or operate meets Canada's high standards. It's the final puzzle piece in your toolkit for safe and compliant air services.
