Flight training in Canada is governed by a dense mix of regulations, standards, and procedures that are rarely explained in a way that matches how student pilots actually learn or fly. This section is designed to bridge that gap.
Rather than restating the Canadian Aviation Regulations verbatim, the articles here focus on how the rules apply in practice, during training flights, exams, and real-world operations. The emphasis is on clarity, context, and the decisions student pilots are expected to make, not just the wording of the regulation.
Topics in this section include licensing requirements, air law fundamentals, operational rules, airspace structure, and currency and privilege limitations, all explained specifically for the Canadian system. Where helpful, comparisons to other jurisdictions (such as the U.S.) are mentioned briefly to prevent common sources of confusion, but the focus remains firmly on Transport Canada standards.
The goal is simple: to help student pilots understand what the rule is, why it exists, and how examiners and instructors expect it to be applied.
If you are preparing for written exams, flight tests, or simply trying to make sense of how Canadian flight training works beyond rote memorization, this section is meant to serve as a reliable reference.
