New Sign up for the ASL e-bulletin today!

The Aviation Safety Letter (ASL) is published quarterly by Transport Canada, Civil Aviation.

It is distributed to all holders of a valid Canadian pilot licence or permit, and to all holders of a valid Canadian aircraft maintenance engineer (AME) licence.

The ASL includes articles that address aviation safety from all perspectives, such as safety insight derived from accidents and incidents, information tailored to the needs of maintenance and servicing personnel and aviation managers, and much more. It now includes topics that were previously addressed in the Aviation Safety Maintainer, the Aviation Safety Vortex and the Aviation Safety Ultralight and Balloon newsletters.

We now have a CD-ROM (TP 185 CD) containing all English and French issues of Aviation Safety Letter from 1973 through 2005. All these back issues are in PDF format only. The search function makes this an invaluable training tool for flight schools and training departments. Purchase your copy of this CD-ROM from Transport Canada's Online Publications Storefront.

"Aviation Safety Letter are available in Portable Document Format which may be viewed using version 3.0 or higher of the Adobe® Acrobat Reader. This reader may be downloaded free of charge by visiting the Adobe® web site."
