EXEMPTION FROM SECTION 704.69 OF THE CANADIAN AVIATION REGULATIONS
Pursuant to subsection 5.9(2) of the Aeronautics Act, and after taking into account that the exemption is in the public interest and is not likely to affect aviation safety, I hereby exempt all air operators operating under Subpart 704 of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) and the pilots working for hire or reward for those air operators from the requirements set out in section 704.69 of the CARs, subject to the terms of this exemption.
Section 704.69 of the CARs states that:

Purpose
The purpose of this exemption is to give Canadian air operators operating under Subpart 704 of the CARs additional time to comply with the installation of a Pitot heat indication system, as required by section 704.69 which came into force on June 30, 2007.
APPLICATION
This exemption applies to the air operators operating aircraft under Subpart 704 and to the pilots working for hire or reward for those air operators.

VALIDITY
This exemption is in effect until the earliest of the following:
- June 30th, 2009, 23:59 EDT;
- the date on which any condition set out in this exemption is breached;
- the date on which the installation of the Pitot heat indication system is completed; or
- the date on which this exemption is cancelled in writing by the Minister where he is of the opinion that it is no longer in the public interest, or that it is likely to affect aviation safety.
Dated at Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, this 6th day of May, 2008, on behalf of the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities.
