SUPPLEMENT TO ANNEX 6, PART I (SIXTH EDITION) CANADA 1
GENERAL With the implementation of the new Canadian Aviation Regulations on 1 April 1996, Canada’s list of
differences to ICAO Annexes will require numerous changes. For now, however, the differences filed are
based on the current regulations.
CHAPTER 1
Definitions Instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). Canada uses the acronym “IFR”.
Visual meteorological conditions (VMC). The term “VFR weather conditions” is used in lieu of the term
visual meterological conditions (VMC).
CHAPTER 4
4.2.10.4 Canadian legislation does not require the maintenance of records showing cosmic radiation dosages
accumulated by crew members on flights above 15 000 m (49 000 ft).
CHAPTER 6
6.9.2.1 Canadian legislation requires that all aircraft certified under the Transport Category/Aircraft should be
equipped with a standby attitude indicator. There is no reference to aircraft weight or date.
6.15 In Canada, no person shall operate a turbo-jet powered aeroplane that has a maximum certified take-off
weight (MCTOW) of more than 15 000 kg or for which a type certificate has been issued, authorizing the
transport of ten or more passengers, unless the aeroplane is equipped with a ground proximity warning
system (GPWS).
6.16.1 Canadian legislation requires that all flight attendant seats located in the passenger compartment of aircraft
certified under Transport Category/Aircraft be equipped with a safety belt that includes a shoulder harness.
No reference is made to aircraft weight or date.
CHAPTER 11
11.1 In Canadian legislation, items 6, 8, 15, 16 and 17 are not part of the minimum content of the operations
manual. Item 11, master minimum equipment list (MMEL), refers to the manual produced by the country
where that aircraft was manufactured. Canadian legislation requires that the minimum equipment list (MEL)
be included in the operations manual.
