What Canada Aeronautics Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. A-2): Aviation Regulation, Certification and Administrative Penalties requires
The Aeronautics Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. A-2) is the principal federal statute governing civil aviation in Canada, administered by the Minister of Transport through Transport Canada, with military aviation under the Minister of National Defence. Section 3 supplies the definitions, including aircraft (any machine capable of deriving support in the atmosphere from reactions of the air) and aerodrome. Section 4.2 sets out the powers, duties and functions of the Minister in respect of the development and regulation of aeronautics and the supervision of all matters connected with aeronautics, including constructing aerodromes, providing facilities, conducting research and investigating safety matters. Section 4.9 confers broad regulatory power on the Governor in Council to make regulations respecting aeronautics, including the accreditation and licensing of flight crew and maintenance personnel, the design and certification of aeronautical products, the operation and certification of aerodromes, airspace classification, aircraft noise, and accident investigation. Section 5.9 allows exemptions from regulations on terms and conditions where it is in the public interest and not likely to compromise aviation safety or security. Enforcement combines offences and an administrative monetary penalty scheme: section 7.3 prohibits false statements and related acts, sections 7.6 and 7.7 establish the designated-provisions administrative monetary penalty regime and the notice procedure, and section 8.4 sets the liability of the owner, operator and pilot in command. The Act is the legal foundation of Canadian aviation safety regulation.
