The Aviation Enforcement Division conducts over 2 000 investigations annually, some of which result in penalties being issued to individuals and corporations in the aviation community. Over the years, the Aviation Enforcement Division has noticed that only a few of these offence-creating provisions are contravened on a regular basis. Knowing which regulations are contravened most often may increase awareness of the regulations and the risks associated with them, motivating individuals and corporations to avoid these violations and sometimes-costly penalties in the future. The 10 most frequently contravened regulations, in descending order, are as follows:

1.CAR 602.31(1): failure of the PIC

(a) to comply with an acknowledge ATC instructions directed to and received by the PIC,

(b) to comply with clearances received and accepted by the PIC


2.CAR 602.01: to operate an aircraft in a reckless or negligent manner


3.CAR 605.03(1): to take-off when

(a) flight authority is not valid,

(b) the conditions set out in flight authority have not been met and

(c) flight authority is not carried on board

(a) over built-up area/open-air assembly of people at less than the specified height,

(b) elsewhere at a distance of less than 500 ft from an object/person


5.CAR 606.02(8): to operate a private aircraft without prescribed liability insurance


6.CAR 601.04(2): to operate in Class “F” Special-Use Restricted airspace without authorization


7.CAR 605.94(1): failure of the responsible person to make specified entries in the journey log


8.CAR 700.02(1): to operate an air transport service without an air operator certificate (AOC)


9.CAR 602.96(3): failure of PIC operating at/in the vicinity of an aerodrome to:

(a) observe traffic to avoid collision,

(b) conform with/avoid pattern of other aircraft,

(c) make all turns to the left unless specific in CFS or by ATC,

(d) comply with any airport operating restrictions specified in CFS,

(e) land/take-off into wind,

(f) maintain continuous listening watch on appropriate frequencies/keep watch for visual signals,

(g) obtain clearance to taxi, take-off and land when aerodrome is controlled

I wonder does (b) overrule (e)

Wasn't there a debate about that a while back?

I'm gonna STFU on this one. I, hopefully, will be starting a flying job at some time in the future.

And for the record, I LOVE Transport Canada. They keep me safe with their paperwork checks and balances.

pm me if you want to hire me. 250 hours and UNwilling to move unless it's an awesome job.

Hedley, you have the floor.

It actually says:

(e) where practicable, land and take off into the wind unless otherwise authorized by the appropriate air traffic control unit;

It's interesting that most of those regs are topics on the PSTAR. Do Pilots forget the rules, or do they just not care?

Rules? What rules?

Don't you just jump into your brand new Citation you got for your birthday and do acrobatics over your house?
