Aviation non-corporate offenders

Civil Aviation publishes its corporate and non-corporate offenders list to both serve as a deterrent and to increase public awareness and education concerning aviation safety.

In order to comply with the Privacy Act provisions, the names of the individuals and any other personal information that could identify the individuals such as, but not limited to, the type of aircraft and/or location of the incident will not be referred to in the narrative.

Notices of Suspension and Notices of Administrative Monetary Penalties (AMPs) are drafted by investigators of the Regional Enforcement Units (REU) and approved by the Manager of the REU, on behalf of the Minister of Transport.

Notices of Suspension of Canadian aviation documents are administered in accordance with Canadian Aviation Regulations section 103.06(1), which is enabled by section 6.9 of the Aeronautics Act. Notices of Administrative Monetary Penalties are administered in accordance with Canadian Aviation Regulations section 103.08, which is enabled by sections 7.7 to 8.2 of the Aeronautics Act.

Non-corporate enforcement action summaries describe the circumstances related to contraventions committed by individuals. They will be published in accordance with the following criteria:

  • when an alleged offender is served with a Notice of Administrative Monetary Penalty, or
  • when an alleged offender is served with a Notice of Suspension of a Canadian aviation document

This information is published quarterly and will remain posted for a period of twenty-four months before being archived.
