Unable to Access CARS via the Transport Canada Website??

You're still able to access them via the TC website. The TC website just redirects you to another site where they are now stored.

Sounds like someone was trying to consolidate storage requirements for their websites.

Pretty good actually, you can download a pdf right from the site containing the entire CARs. Just don't get the standards.

Thanks for pointing it out.

The direct link to the new source of the CARs is the following:

Justice Laws Website: Canadian Aviation Regulations (SOR/96-433)
Site Web de la législation (Justice): Règlement de l’aviation canadien (DORS/96-433)

Not quite as user-friendly as the former Transport Canada site layout but at least the information is still available. I wonder if this new change will cause a spike in purchases of the CARs Deluxe consolidated database of aviation documents?

This change would appear to be part of the Government of Canada's Action Plan for the Renewal of the Government of Canada Web Presence.

Stephen Harper asked Tony Clement to ‘significantly reduce’ number of government websites, says document
Published: March 12, 2013, 4:45 pm

OTTAWA —Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s cabinet is planning to renew its government’s online image by significantly reducing the number of federal websites and creating tools and instructions to monitor social media and engage with the public, says a leaked internal document.

An advocacy group promoting transparency in government, which obtained the document, suggested it indicated a plan to control and manipulate information.

But the office of Treasury Board president Tony Clement, confirming that the document was authentic, explained that the government’s main goal was to make it easier for Canadians to find information.

Clement had in fact told a technology conference in November that his plan was to consolidate the government’s web presence from about 1,500 to six or fewer websites.

“This consolidation will focus on putting the needs of citizens first rather than organizing our websites around the structure of government,” Clement had said in the speech delivered on the same day as the U.S. presidential election. “Ultimately, this will lead to an integration of services among different departments and thus improve services by saving clients time and effort.”

Just don't get the standards

CARs is useless without the standards. Before
this latest madness, I made a copy of the CARs
website (regs & stds). It's 50MB:

and it works offline.

Thanks Colonel.

I find this change rather irritating. It seems the new website doesn't have the greatest index for searching through the CARs.

Thanks for the upload.

If that was user friendly....

Oh my! What have they done now? Just when I was figuring out how to find stuff on the last website.

Last year I visited the very helpful folks at the TC YYC office.

They printed off extracts of the relevant CARs from an external web site.

When your own employees can't figure out to navigate your web site, it's time to replace it.
