NCR-007-2022 During recent internal and external consultation with industry stakeholders, it was deemed that the issues of flight crew members training with head and/or face worn devices was still a concern leading to this exemption being renewed. The purpose of this exemption is to provide temporary measures in the public interest in response to travel restrictions and other impediments that air operators are encountering in the training of flight crew members following the declaration of a pandemic outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020. This exemption is to authorize Canadian operators to defer the requirement for flight crew members to perform hands-on practical drills using head or face covering emergency equipment such as quick donning oxygen masks during annual training only. This exemption does not permit the operator to reduce the content in its approved flight crew member annual training program. The performance of the required hands-on practical drills shall either be completed within the validity period of the annual training or deferred for successful completion later by each flight crew member. |

CARs provision(s): 901.02 |
RPAS-002-2022 The purpose of this exemption is to fix an unintended consequence of the way the Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) regulations were drafted that is creating an administrative issue preventing foreign operators and foreign pilots from conducting RPAS activities within the RPAS regulatory framework. This exemption will be beneficial for a large number of international tourists, post-secondary education students, and researchers coming to Canada. Part IX of the CARs requires every RPA between 250g and 25 kg to be registered in order to be flown in Canada. However, foreign RPAS operators and pilots are not able to register RPA, despite being able to fly in Canada when using a Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC). This creates an administrative issue that does not impact safety. The purpose of this exemption is to enable a foreign operator or pilot (as described in paragraph 903.01(c) of the CARs) who does not qualify to be the registered owner of a RPA, as per subsection 901.04(1) of the CARs, to operate an RPAS without having their aircraft registered according to Division II – Registration of Remotely Piloted Aircraft. This exemption aligns small RPA (250 g to 25 kg) with how Transport Canada permits operations of large (> 25kg) RPA, which do not require registration, for a person that does not qualify to be the registered owner of an RPA. |

CARs provision(s): 801.01(2)(a) & 801.08(b) Applicant: NAV CANADA Aircraft model: n/a Registration no.: n/a |
This exemption allows NAV CANADA as holder of an ATS operations certificate to provide air traffic services at specific operational locations under specific conditions. This exemption allows NAV CANADA air traffic controllers to issue an air traffic control clearance or an air traffic control instruction in the case of domestic airspace in accordance with specific conditions rather than meeting the requirements set out in Subsection 1.1 Chapter 1 of the Canadian Domestic Air Traffic Control Separation Standards. This exemption allows NAV CANADA air traffic controllers to apply visual separation in accordance with specific conditions at specified airports for which NAV CANADA has conducted an implementation safety assessment for the introduction of visual separation for IFR departing aircraft and has obtained approval by the Director, Standards, Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA). It also allows NAV CANADA air traffic controllers to assign visual separation responsibility to a pilot of successive IFR aircraft departing from the same, intersecting, non-intersecting and parallel runways at specific airports and in accordance with specific conditions. |

CARs provision(s): 703.22(1) AND (2) Applicant: GLOBAL - SEIFR Aircraft model: n/a Registration no.: n/a |
NCR-045-2014 Current paragraph 723.22(1)(a) permits only factory built single engine turbine powered aeroplanes for the transportation of passengers at night VFR or in IFR condition (called SEIFR). This has proven to be very restrictive and specific in its application. It precludes many other single engine aeroplanes with other potential engine combination from being given SEIFR authority. This exemption provides relief from this regulation by granting SEIFR authority to Canadian air operators to operate Cessna Caravan model 208 and 208B aeroplanes retrofitted with Honeywell TPE331-12JR turboprop engine in accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Supplemental Type Certificates (STC) SA02291AK or SA 10841SC (see Appendix B and C respectively) and in full compliance with the conditions set out below. |

NCR-080-2014 The purpose of this exemption is to allow Canadian air operators conducting operations pursuant to Subpart 705 of the CARs to offer an observer seat in the flight deck on a domestic flight to a non-operational pilot who is: a) employed by the offering air operator; b) employed by a Canadian air operator operating under Subparts 2, 3, 4 or 5 of Part VII of the CARs; c) employed by a foreign air operator operating under Subpart 1 of Part VII of the CARs that is a code share partner who has entered into a valid code-share agreement, which is currently in force, with the offering air operator; or d) employed by a foreign air operator operating under Subpart 1 of Part VII of the CARs that is a wholly owned subsidiary of the offering air operator. The purpose of this exemption is to allow pilots-in-command to grant admission to the non-operational pilot for whom the transport has been pre-approved by the offering air operator, notwithstanding the availability of a seat in the passenger compartment. This exemption does not allow Canadian air operators to offer an observer seat to a pilot employed by a foreign air operator operating under Subpart 1 of Part VII of the CARs that is not a code share partner with the offering air operator. |

In the majority of cases throughout the CARs and related standards, the term “manufacturer” is used when in fact “type certificate holder” is implied. Thus, the purpose of this exemption is to exempt a person who manufactures an aircraft, a person who owns an aircraft that obtains an authorization to attach an aircraft identification plate or a person who operates an aircraft in flight from paragraph 201.01(4)(a) of the CARs. This exemption is implementing the regulatory intent of NPA 2004-087.

CARs provision(s): 521.158(1) Applicant: Bombardier Inc. Aircraft model: BD-700-1A10 & BD-700-1A11 Registration no.: n/a |
The purpose of this exemption is to allow the changed Bombardier model BD-700-1A10 (Global Express) and BD-700-1A11 (Global 5000) aeroplanes with the Global Vision Flight Deck (GVFD) modification at the Version 3.2 (v.3.2) configuration to be certificated without a finding of compliance with AWM 525.1301 and AWM 525.1309 at the time of certification. The application of RTCA DO-254 is an acceptable means of demonstrating compliance to AWM 525.1301, and RTCA DO-178B is an acceptable means of demonstrating compliance to AWM 525.1309; however Bombardier has not completed the process prescribed by these standards for this v.3.2 configuration. The Global Vision Flight Deck (GVFD) is a change to the type designs of the Bombardier models BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11, which were previously type certificated under Type Certificate Data Sheet A-177. The change involves replacing one avionics suite with another from another manufacturer. The GVFD designation for the BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 is a commercial designation for aeroplanes on which Major modification numbers TS533145 and TS000145 (for BD-700-1A10), or SO533145 and TS000145 (for BD-700-1A11) have been embodied. This exemption allows Bombardier to obtain a revised Type Certificate for the changed type design, and subsequently obtain standard Certificates of Airworthiness in order to deliver aeroplanes with the GVFD v.3.2 configuration to completion centres (subject to the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) limitations for v.3.2 configuration and the conditions imposed in this exemption). Once aircraft are delivered and responsibility transferred, the STC work required to complete the aeroplane can commence (STCs approved and installed for interiors and other custom work common to large business jets). Bombardier intends to replace GVFD v.3.2 configuration in Global Express and Global 5000 aircraft models with an updated configuration at a later date. The updated configuration is expected to be demonstrated to be fully compliant with AWM 525.1301 and AWM 525.1309. This exemption only applies to the v.3.2 configuration; it does not apply to any other version or configuration. The AFM limitations imposed on aircraft operation with the GVFD v.3.2 configuration combined with the conditions imposed in this exemption are expected to drive all operators to implement the GVFD upgrade and displace the v.3.2 configuration from the operating fleet shortly after the updated and approved GVFD configuration is made available |
