aircraft. It is also responsible for the safety certification and continuous safety oversight of most forms of commercial operations. Also the Transport Canada controls The Canadian Air Regulations (CARs). Canadian Air Regulations (CARs) The Canadian Air Regulations (CARs) are the that govern the civil aviation in Canada. The CARs consist of regulations, standards and advisory material. Regulations and standards should strictly be followed without any deviation while complying with the advisory material is not mandatory. Standards explain the process of complying with the regulations. CARs are divided into nine functional parts namely: 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 Numbering: The regulations are numbered starting at the beginning of the part. than Part V of CARs, the regulations are numbered in 700 series. Part V is numbered exclusively (500 series) to match the US FAA as well as EASA and JAA regulations. The standards are numbered in the 20 series, for example- CAR 720 refers to a standard. And the advisory material is numbered in 40 series like CAR 740 refers to advisory material. The part that deals with Aircraft Maintenance Engineering is the Part V which focuses on airworthiness.
