Aerodrome Safety Circulars

Transport Canada issued Aerodrome Safety Circulars (ASCs) to help people working in the aviation industry comply with airport safety regulations, regulations for the storage of aviation fuels and similar rules. Aerodromes can be defined as areas used for the arrival, departure and maintenance of aircraft.

All documents issued after 01 Feb 2007 are now published as Advisory Circulars.
