Coverage & source status

Source hierarchy

1. Applicable legislation, regulations, incorporated standards and legally applicable exemptions.
2. Current aeronautical publications, NOTAMs, approvals, aircraft manuals and approved operator documents as applicable.
3. Official guidance and training references used to interpret and prepare.
4. AV-COMP workflows and directory snapshots used to organise review and access sources.

When sources disagree or applicability is unclear, consult the responsible authority and the current governing instrument.

Regulatory text database

1,657 sections and schedules indexed from the Justice Canada CARs XML. The snapshot is an unofficial text reproduction; check source formatting, tables and effective status in the official version.

Standards and airworthiness

61 Transport Canada standards and airworthiness chapters ingested as dated full-text snapshots. Nine separately published or repealed references remain official links. Embedded diagrams and incorporated third-party documents require the original source.

Coverage matrix

Operational boundaries and continuing work

• Live weather, NOTAMs and official filing remain with NAV CANADA. AV-COMP links to the current services.
• CAME and ROC-A registers are dated public-source snapshots; accreditation and contact details may change.
• Provider-managed profiles require opt-in and AV-COMP review before publication.
• Official certificates, regulatory decisions, examination administration and approvals remain with their issuing authorities.
• Licensed charts and publications are accessed through their publishers; AV-COMP does not redistribute restricted editions.
• Daily source monitoring records successful checks, failures and content changes requiring review. A change flag is not an approved regulatory interpretation or an automatic replacement of the legal snapshot.
• The signed-in root profile workspace and public professional-profile search were checked in production on October 12, 2026. Newly registered-role workflows and testing with the browser network disconnected still require further verification; database behavior checks do not establish those browser results.
• The airport directory removes source-marked duplicates and identical facility records and quarantines questionable labels. Closed facilities remain included. Community-source records are not independently verified as a complete official worldwide register.
• Exam calendars calculate estimated availability from public Transport Canada schedules and live occupancy. A selected time is not reserved; booking and payment continue with the official provider. AV-COMP-assisted booking and its CAD $25 fee are not active.
• Professional profiles have owner-controlled visibility. Recruitment offers are private in-portal proposals; no external notification service is connected.
• All AV-COMP courses are Coming Soon. Enrollment, course delivery and checkout are not open; third-party catalog references do not grant rights to their instructional material.
• Offline packs are static references. They cannot establish current weather, restrictions, eligibility or permission to operate.
