The following Policy Letters are in effect and are available as separate entities. All other Commercial and Business Aviation Policy Letters have either been cancelled, revised or included in the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) or other aviation publications.

These Policy Letters have been prepared as staff instructions for Transport Canada Inspectors. The issues dealt with in these Policy Letters are not meant to be regulatory in nature although they may deal with regulatory matters. Although they do not directly affect Industry, they are posted on the Web and available to the public for information purposes. Where the information affects Industry, an accompanying Commercial & Business Aviation Advisory Circular is also issued.

Policy Letters are now available in Microsoft Word Document format. This version allows viewing of the original Policy Letter format including revision marks. Policy Letters published before 2004 are not available through this version at this time. Visit the Microsoft Office download center to acquire a free download of Word 97/2000 (Word 2000) (Windows 95/98/NT).
