Flying Safely Begins With Us!
The General Aviation Branch is responsible for the licensing of all pilots and flight engineers; the licensing and testing standards; and the safety regulations, inspection and monitoring of all Canadian flight training units.
The Branch is also responsible for regulating aircraft registration and leasing; maintaining a Canadian Aircraft Register; and maintaining a safety oversight of recreational aviation and special flight operations such as air shows. We also provide service to those wishing to participate in special aviation events such as balloon festivals, air shows, aerobatic competitions or parachute demonstrations, or those who are involved in unique flight operations, such as unmanned air vehicle operations.
Furthermore, General Aviation regulates civil and commercial rocket launch operations in Canada.
Our Vision
“We see ourselves on the cutting edge of innovation in civil aviation to promote safe flying. Our leadership and proactive actions will establish Canada’s general aviation as being the most professional and the safest in the world.”
