Canadian Regulations

The dry and dusty stuff, however they are the rules we operate under.  This information is mainly gained from the Ultra-Light Aeroplane and Hang Glider Information Manual 4th Edition, issued March 1995,  by Transport Canada.  Again - many thanks to Jim Smyth of Just Plane Fun, Inc. for his help in creating this! Where applicable updated information is included. This manual is no longer issued by Transport Canada, but can be obtained from:

The Ultralight Pilots Association of Canada

Aurora, Ontario. Canada
L4G 6H8
Phone: 905 833-3467

The information on this site is intended to be an overview of the regs, it's quite condensed and and does not include the finer points!  I have included references to the CARs in places, and there are links at the bottom of this page to various Transport Canada pages.  Offsite links will open in a new browser window.
