Commercial and Business Aviation Advisory Circulars

Part VI and VII Regulations Cross-Reference to Aircraft Equipment and Installations

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this Commercial and Business Aviation Advisory Circular (CBAAC) is to provide Air Operators with a quick cross-reference between Subpart VI and VII equipment regulations and the Airworthiness Standards.

BACKGROUND

Transport Canada often receives queries regarding what standards apply to various regulations on aircraft equipment in Part VI General Operating and Flight Rules and Part VII Commercial Air Services of the Canadian Aviations Regulations (CARs). In an effort to provide a quick cross-reference between the above subparts of the CARs and Airworthiness Manual a table has been produced. The attached table is provided as a quick reference to determine the airworthiness standards which apply to various equipment regulations of Subparts VI and VII of the CARs. The Airworthiness Manual is the document which provides the airworthiness standards on all aircraft equipment. The website for the Airworthiness Manual is http://www.tc.gc.ca/CivilAviation/
maintenance/regsdocs/menu.htm.

CONCLUSION

The cross-reference between equipment regulations and airworthiness standards should be of some value to all Air Operators.
