Establishment
The CARs became law on October 10, 1996, replacing the former Air Regulations and Air Navigation Orders. The authority for the establishment of the CARs is theOrganization
The CARs are divided into ten functional "parts": * Part I - General Provisions * Part II - Aircraft Identification and Registration and Operation of a Leased Aircraft by a Non-registered Owner * Part III - Aerodromes, Airports and Heliports * Part IV - Personnel Licensing and Training * Part V - Airworthiness * Part VI - General Operating and Flight Rules * Part VII - Commercial Air Services * Part VIII - Air Navigation Services * Part IX - Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems * Part X - Greenhouse Gas Emissions from International Aviation - CORSIA The CARs consist of regulations, standards and advisory material. Compliance with the regulations and standards is mandatory, while complying with the advisory material is not mandatory. Standards tell how to comply with the corresponding regulation. With the exception of Part V, the regulations are numbered starting at the beginning of the part (i.e. CAR 700 is a regulation). The standards are numbered in the "20" series (i.e. CAR 720 is a standard). Advisory material is inserted in the text of the regulations and standards as "notes" or is included separately as "40" series text (i.e. CAR 740 would be advisory material). Part V (Airworthiness) of the CARs is uniquely numbered to match the US FAA FARs parts as well as theAmending the CARs
Creation of new regulations or standards and the amendment of existing regulations and standards are accomplished through a public consultation process known as theAdvisory circulars
