Manufacturer Responsibility
If you are already a manufacturer, or are considering becoming a
manufacture of an advanced ultra-light aeroplane, it is essential that you are
fully aware of your responsibilities as a manufacturer.
Although some of the requirements for advanced ultra-light aeroplanes are
similar to those for other categories of aircraft, there are some significant
differences. Services such as after-market support and the distribution of
ongoing safety information are the sole responsibility of the
manufacturers of advanced ultra-light aeroplanes.
- first, you need to evaluate whether or not you can
comply with the design, manufacturing and technical aspects of the
advanced ultra-light.
- second, you will have to ask Transport Canada to
list your model as being eligible for registration as an advanced
ultra-light aeroplane, and
- third, you will need determine if you can provide the
after market support to ensure continuing fitness for flight associated with
the advanced ultra-light aeroplane.
Before joining the group of advanced
ultra-light aeroplane manufacturers, you will need to make the following
decisions:
- Are you able to manage the technical side of aircraft design, testing and
proof of compliance?
- Are you willing and capable of maintaining the required records for all
aeroplane models including the names of owners of purchased aeroplanes (kits
and fully built), and subsequent owners of those aeroplanes once they are
resold? These records have to be maintained for the life of the aeroplanes,
and will have to be made available to Transport Canada on request.
- Can you provide the after market support to ensure continued fitness for
flight of the aeroplanes that you produce? This support must be provided for
the life of the aeroplanes. You will need to decide if you are prepared to
approve (or reject) owner-proposed modifications to your aeroplanes and
you뭠l need to have a system for notifying owners of needed safety actions
as your fleet of aeroplanes ages.
The liability and
responsibility for the aeroplanes you manufacture rests with you, and that responsibility, including
after-market support, continues for as long as your models continue to fly.
The following information summary is
taken from the Transport Canada site, and includes some of the more significant aspects of being a manufacturer of
advanced ultra-light aeroplanes. It is intended to help you become clearly aware
of the responsibilities and liabilities that are borne by advanced ultra-light
aeroplane manufacturers.
First evaluate whether or not you can comply with
the design, manufacturing and technical aspects of the advanced ultra-light.
You will need to develop and compile
all of the technical specifications, drawings, calculations, assembly
instructions and other technical material pertaining to each model of advanced
ultra-light aeroplane that you produce. This information must be kept by you, the manufacturer, and
must be made available to Transport Canada upon request.
Therefore, it is important that early in the process you develop a system for
documenting all the technical information about each of your models.
The technical specifications, drawings, calculations, assembly instructions and
other documented material are called the ?/em>Type Definition?/em>
for each model of advanced ultra-light aeroplane.
CARS definition of Type Design:
Once you have developed all of the technical information for your aeroplane
model, you will need to confirm that your type definition actually does
comply in all respects to the requirements outlined in the "Design
Standards
for Advanced Ultra-light Aeroplanes". LAMAC developed this document; and
the Minister has accepted these design standards as the requirements for
advanced ultra-light aeroplanes in Canada.As a manufacturer of an advanced ultra-light aeroplane, you
will be required to sign a Declaration that your aircraft model complies to these design
standards. This document is the Declaration of Compliance.
Knowingly signing a fraudulent declaration is a criminal
offence and punishable by law.
LAMAC provides its members with a General Compliance Program
for the Advanced ultra-light aeroplane. This GCP- AULA, when
completed,
references the testing procedures used, the output data, and files where
proof of compliance are stored. This document, or some similar record of
compliance, may be requested by Transport Canada to support whether or not
your aeroplane does in fact comply in all respects to the requirements
outlined in the "Design Standars for Advanced Ultra-light Aeroplanes".
In addition, you will need to develop a
maintenance program that includes the inspection schedule and the maintenance
procedures required to maintain the aeroplane in a 밼it for flight?
condition. You will be required to provide each purchaser with a copy of this
maintenance program. You will need to submit a copy of this maintenance program
to Transport Canada before aeroplanes of your model will be eligible for
registration as advanced ultra-light aeroplanes.
Once it is determined that your
aeroplane model complies with the design standards, you will need to establish
procedures to ensure that each and every copy of that aeroplane sold also
conforms to the Type Definition of your original model. This applies whether you
build the aeroplane, or your customer builds the aeroplane from a kit supplied
by you.
In order to register their aircraft,
owners must obtain your certification that the assembled aeroplane conforms to
your Type Definition and that you consider it to be fit for flight. This
document is called a Statement of Conformity.
It is important that you establish
the procedures whereby you will be able to issue this Statement of Conformity
for all your aeroplanes including those not built by you, and that all
aeroplanes continue to maintain their conformity to your Type Definition and the
Design Standards for as long as they fly.
LAMAC has developed a form that may
be used by its membership called the "Declaration Owner/Builder" that
we urge your builders/owners to fill in prior to the issuance of the Statement
of Conformity, or when an advanced ultra-light aeroplane changes owners.
Second, you will have to ask Transport Canada to list
your model as being eligible for registration as an advanced ultra-light
aeroplane.
Before Transport Canada will include
your model on the Listing of Models Eligible to be Registered as an Advanced
Ultra-light Aeroplane, you must provide Transport Canada with the following
documentation for each model of aeroplane:
- a
description of the aeroplane that includes, but is not limited to, the type
and model of engines that are approved by the manufacturer and the type of
undercarriage that is approved by the manufacturer;
- a
copy of the aeroplane performance specifications that includes, but is not
limited to, the aeroplane maximum empty weight, maximum take-off weight,
maximum stalling speed in the landing configuration and the minimum useful
load for each approved engine and type of undercarriage;
- the
Declaration of Compliance, which is a written declaration
that
- the
type definition for your model of advanced ultra-light aeroplane complies
with the standards specified in the most current
version of the manual entitled the Design Standards for Advanced
Ultra-light Aeroplanes;
- the
type definition for that model of advanced ultra-light aeroplane will
continue to comply with the standards specified in the manual entitled Design
Standards for Advanced Ultra-light Aeroplanes, as long as you
continue to manufacture that model of aeroplane as an advanced ultra-light
aeroplane;
- a
copy of your Specified Maintenance Program, including the inspection
schedule and the maintenance procedures to maintain the aeroplane in a
밼it for flight?condition;
- a
copy of the procedures that you have established for:
- confirming
that each assembled aeroplane conforms with your type definition for that
particular model of advanced ultra-light aeroplane,
- confirming
that the assembled aeroplane complies with the standards specified in the Design
Standards for Advanced Ultra-light Aeroplanes, and
- confirming
that the assembled aeroplane is fit for flight,
- any
other documents or information pertinent to establishing the aeroplane as an
advanced ultra-light aeroplane as requested by Transport Canada.
Third, you will need determine if you can provide the
after market support to ensure continuing fitness for flight associated with the
advanced ultra-light aeroplane.
For each aeroplane you sell, you
must provide the owner with a copy of your maintenance program (including
inspection schedule and maintenance procedures) applicable to that particular
model. You should also supply the owner with instructions on how to perform a
weight and balance for the aeroplane. In addition, it is sound business practice
to ensure that each owner is fully aware of his responsibilities. All of
this information can be included in a Pilot Operating Handbook.
As the manufacturer of an advanced
ultra-light aeroplane, you are responsible for ensuring and
certifying that each assembled aeroplane conforms to your Type Definition
for that model and that the aeroplane continues to do so for the life of the
aeroplane. This responsibility for 밶fter market?support for the continuing
밼it for flight?condition of your aeroplanes means that you MUST
identify any maintenance or other action that is needed with respect to
keeping your models of advanced ultra-light aeroplanes safe.
These actions are called ?strong>Mandatory
Actions? As the manufacturer, you are required to issue a Mandatory
Action whenever you become aware of any action that if not taken would result in
an unsafe or potentially unsafe condition for one of your models of advanced
ultra-light aeroplanes. You must advise the owners of all of your aeroplanes of
each Mandatory Action you issue applicable to their aeroplane and you must
maintain a record of each Mandatory Action you issue. You should advise
Transport Canada of each Mandatory Action
So that you can provide the required
information to aeroplane owners, you are required to maintain a current record
of all owners of your aeroplanes. Therefore, make sure that owners are aware
that they must inform you of the sale of their aeroplane, and send you a copy of
an updated Owner/Builder Declaration Form with the name and address of the new
owner.
You must make available to Transport
Canada upon request:
- a
current record of all owners of your models of advanced ultra-light
aeroplanes;
- all
mandatory actions that have been issued for your models of advanced
ultra-light aeroplanes; and
- a
copy of the type definition for each model of advanced ultra-light aeroplane.
From time to time owners of advanced
ultra-light aeroplane may decide that they would like to make certain changes to
their aeroplanes. Any change that results in an aeroplane deviating from your
Type Definition is a 뱈odification?to that aircraft. As manufacturer, you
are the only one able to approve or reject modifications. There is no provision
for you to delegate the responsibility for determining whether or not the
modified aeroplane continues to comply in all respects to the requirements
outlined in your type definition or in the 밆esign Standards for Advanced
Ultra-light Aeroplanes?/em>. Therefore, it is important that you have a
process in place for considering and acting on such requests from owners.
The Ultra-light Aeroplane
Transition Strategy is a document that outlines in more detail the
requirements imposed on ultra-light aeroplanes in Canada. Section 3 of this
document outlines requirements for advanced ultra-light aeroplanes. You can find

MANUFACTURER
WISHES TO CHANGE AN ALREADY EXISTING MODEL ADVANCED ULTRA-LIGHT AEROPLANE
From time to time a manufacturer may wish to make
a change to a model of aircraft that is currently on Transport Canada's Listing
of Models Eligible to be Registered as an Advanced Ultra-light Aeroplane. A typical example would be a
manufacturer whose model AULA was designed to the old TP10141 standard at a
gross weight of 1058 lbs or less. He /she would now like
to change his /her model to take
advantage of the current allowable maximum gross weight of
1232 lbs.
-
first, determine if the
change will change the existing type definition of the model.
-
second, determine if
these changes will still allow the aeroplane to comply with the pre-existing
design standard to which it was manufactured.
-
third, determine whether
or not a new Declaration of Compliance is required.
First, a minor change or upgrade
might not affect the design specification of the aeroplane to such an extent
that the existing type definition of the model is affected. In this case, a new Declaration of Compliance does
not need to be submitted to Transport Canada. However, an
increase in weight from 1058 lbs, to 1232 lbs. most certainly would, and the
type definition will need to be amended. Once the type
definition of the model is changed, the product has in fact been changed, and
compliance with the most current design standard will need to be investigated
in its entirety.
For example, an increase in the gross
weight from 1058 lbs to 1232 lbs could mean that the aeroplane structural load
factors no longer comply with the requirements of the pre-existing design
standards, in which case the structural load tests will need to be re-investigated
to determine whether the aeroplane can now meet the requirements of the most
current amendment of the DS 10141 at the new weight. All other requirements of
the DS 10141 must also be met.
Once you are satisfied that the
upgraded model meets the requirements of the current amendment of the DS 10141,
a new Declaration of Compliance attesting to this fact will need to be issued
and sent to Transport Canada, along with the upgraded aircraft performance
information and another copy of the Specified Maintenance Schedule, if that has
changed.
The manufacturer may choose to
change the name of the aircraft to another model in order to differentiate it
from its older sisters, or keep track of the serial number of the current model
to which the upgrades/changes apply. If the operation of the aircraft has
changed, it is recommended that new Owner Operating Manuals be issued.
Here are four possible scenarios
that could be encounterd when a manufacturer has changed an existing
advanced ultra-light aeroplane model, and Transport Canada's suggestion for
dealing with them:
| CHANGE |
ACTION REQUIRED |
| The
changed AULA still conforms to the initial Type Definition. |
None |
| The
changed AULA no longer conforms to the initial Type Definition, but
the new design and performance specifications still comply with the most
recent issue of the Design Standard |
The manufacturer
may
1.
Issue a new Type Definition for the aeroplane
2. Submit a new DoC stating that the AULA complies with the most recent
issue of the Design Standard
3. Retain the same aircraft model |
| The
changed AULA no longer conforms to the initial Type Definition, but
the new design and performance specifications still comply with the most
recent issue of the Design Standard. |
The manufacturer
may
1.
Create a new model.
2. Issue a new Type Definition for the new model.
3. Submit a new DoC stating that the AULA complies with the most recent
issue of the Design Standard. |
| The
changes make it impossible for the new Type Definition to
comply with the Design Standards. |
The manufacturer
must
1.
Create a new model.
2. Issue a new Type Definition for the new model.
3. Submit a new DoC stating that the AULA complies with the most recent
issue of the Design Standard. |
Advanced Ultra-Light
Aeroplane - Owners' and Operators' Responsibilities
If you are the owner / operator of an advanced ultra-light aeroplane, or are
considering purchasing an advanced ultra-light aeroplanes, it is important that
you are aware of your responsibilities.
- first, decide if an advanced ultra-light aeroplane serves your needs
- second, choose a particular model of advanced ultra-light aeroplane, and
- third, operate and maintain your aeroplane.
In the case of advanced ultra-light aeroplanes, it is the manufacturer, and
not Transport Canada, that provides the after-market support to owners.
The following information summary includes some important aspects of owning
or operating an advanced ultra-light aeroplane. This will help you
understand your responsibility as an owner, and those areas where
you can rely on your aeroplane manufacturer for after market support.
Does an advanced ultra-light aeroplane serve your needs?
Although advanced ultra-light aeroplanes share many of the limitations of
basic ultra-light aeroplanes, they are not quite as limited as their basic
counterparts. Some owners choose an advanced ultra-light aeroplane because of
its potential to carry a passenger; others choose an advanced ultra-light
aeroplane because of the reduced restriction on flight in controlled airspace.
Still others select an advanced ultra-light aeroplane because of the increased
confidence they see in the certifications provided by the manufacturer and the responsibility
the manufacturer accepts because
of those certifications.
The increase in operational opportunities for an advanced ultra-light
aeroplane comes with additional obligations on the owner. Advanced ultra-light
aeroplanes must be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer뭩
maintenance program; owners are required to maintain a record of the
maintenance conducted on their aeroplanes. An advanced ultra-light aeroplane
cannot be modified without the manufacturer's approval. When a manufacturer becomes aware of some action that is required
for the safety of a particular model of advanced ultra-light aeroplane, the
manufacturer is obliged to issue a Mandatory Action and owners are required to
adhere to all mandatory actions applicable to their aircraft.
Choose an advanced ultra-light aeroplane
Of course, you need to select a particular model with operating capabilities
that meet your needs. However, beyond the aeroplane itself, you need to look carefully at
the manufacturer. Owners of advanced ultra-light aeroplanes are reliant
on the manufacturers for the continuing fitness for flight of their advanced
ultra-light aeroplanes. Manufacturers are the only entity able to provide the
approval required for any modification of an advanced ultra-light aeroplane. A
number of years into the life of an advanced ultra-light aeroplane, the aeroplane may need replacement parts or a modification of some nature for
its continued safe operation. If the manufacturer of your aeroplane is no longer
conducting business, it might be difficult or impossible to obtain replacement parts. Without a manufacturer, it may be impossible to obtain
approval for modifications.
A number of owners of advanced ultra-light aeroplanes have found themselves
seriously disadvantaged when the manufacturer ceased to exist. These owners
often face the cancellation of the Certificates of Registration for their
aircraft because the aircraft can no longer meet the requirements of an advanced
ultra-light aeroplane. Such aircraft may be eligible to be a basic ultra-light
aeroplane; that option may not serve the owner뭩 needs, especially if the
initial selection of an advanced ultra-light aeroplane was made to provide
advantages not offered only by basic ultra-light aeroplanes.
Potential buyers of advanced ultra-light aeroplanes must remember that not
only are they relying on the aeroplane itself, but also they are relying heavily
on the support that only the manufacturer can provide to them. Therefore
obtaining some history of the manufacturer, such as the number of years in
operation and the number of models sold will help you in your choice.
Once you have chosen your model, you will need to check that it is eligible
for registration. On the Internet, there is a list of those models of aeroplanes that
are eligible to be registered as advanced ultra-light aeroplanes located at http://www.tc.gc.ca/civilaviation/general/CCARCS/advancedullist.htm
A particular aeroplane cannot be registered as an advanced ultra-light
aeroplane unless its model name appears on this list. However, just seeing a
particular model name on this list does not guarantee that a particular
aeroplane of that model can be registered as an advanced ultra-light aeroplane -
there are additional requirements that must be met as well.
If the aeroplane is a new aeroplane, you will need to obtain from the
manufacturer a document called a Statement of Conformity. The
manufacturer (or a representative authorised by the manufacturer) is the only
one who can issue the Statement of Conformity. If you are purchasing a factory
built aeroplane, you need to make sure that the Statement of Conformity comes
with your assembled aeroplane.
If the aeroplane is a new one that you (or someone else) constructed from a
kit, you need to make sure that you understand and can agree to the process the
manufacturer will follow to issue the Statement of Conformity. That document is
required to register the aircraft as an advanced ultra-light aeroplane - without
it, the aircraft may, at best, qualify as a basic ultra-light aeroplane. You
should make sure that you understand what the manufacturer will require from you
before issuing the Statement of Conformity.
If the aeroplane is a used one that is already registered as an advanced
ultra-light aeroplane, you will need to obtain from the previous owner a
document called a Fit For Flight Form. On this document, the
previous owner will need to certify a number of things: that she or he has
followed the manufacturer뭩 specified maintenance program, that he or she has
completed all mandatory actions applicable to the model of aeroplane, and that
no modifications have been made to the aeroplane without the written approval of
the manufacturer. You will also need to certify that you accept the custody and
control of the aeroplane, that you have inspected the aeroplane and you have
found it to be as described by the registered owner. Finally, you will need to
certify that you consider the aeroplane fit for flight.
If an aeroplane has previously been registered as a basic ultra-light
aeroplane, the only way the aircraft can be registered as an advanced
ultra-light aeroplane is with a Statement of Conformity from the manufacturer.
If the aeroplane has been previously registered as an advanced ultra-light
aeroplane but you cannot obtain a Fit For Flight Form for any reason, the only
way the aircraft can be registered as an advanced ultra-light aeroplane is with
a Statement of Conformity from the manufacturer. If you are going to rely on a
manufacturer issuing a Statement of Conformity for a used aircraft, you are well
advised to check with the manufacturer before purchasing the aircraft - not all
manufacturers are prepared to issue Statements of Conformity for used aeroplanes.
Operating and maintaining your advanced ultra-light aeroplane
Before you actually operate your aeroplane, you will need to register it.
That process is not a difficult one, but it does require specific documentation.
You will need to provide legal evidence that you actually own the aeroplane,
that you have custody of it and that you are the one legally in control of all
aspects of the aeroplane. You will also have to demonstrate that the aircraft is
fit for flight and that it is eligible to be registered as an advanced
ultra-light aeroplane. If the aircraft is being registered for the first time in
Canada, you will demonstrate its fitness for flight and its eligibility for
registration by submitting a Statement of Conformity signed by the manufacturer
of the aeroplane. If the aircraft is already registered in Canada as an advanced
ultra-light aeroplane, you will need to provide another Statement of Conformity
from the manufacturer or a Fit For Flight Form from the previous owner. Detailed
information about registering your advanced ultra-light aeroplane can be found
at http://www.tc.gc.ca/Civilaviation/general/ccarcs/advancedul.htm
As the owner of an advanced ultra-light aeroplane, you are responsible for
maintaining the aeroplane in a 밼it for flight?condition by adhering to the
Manufacturer Specified Maintenance Program and for completing the
manufacturer뭩 Mandatory Actions in accordance with the manufacturer뭩
instructions and time frame. You must also maintain appropriate records for the
aeroplane, including scheduled maintenance, mandatory actions, modifications,
and accident repairs
Ultra-light aeroplanes are highly restricted in terms of where they can fly
and the purposes for which they may be used. CAR 602.29 (www.tc.gc.ca/CivilAviation/Regserv/Affairs/cars/PART6/602.htm#602_29)
outlines some of these restrictions. Advanced ultra-light aeroplanes may be used
for private recreational purposes and (provided they are flown by a properly
qualified pilot) advanced ultra-light aeroplanes may carry one passenger. The
only commercial purpose for which an Advanced Ultra-light Aeroplane may be used
is the provision of pilot flight training for ultra-light pilots. To ensure that
passengers are aware that advanced ultra-light aeroplanes are not required to
conform to government safety standards for construction and maintenance, your
aeroplane must have a placard installed in a location highly visible to both
occupants of the aircraft containing the following information:
THIS AIRCRAFT IS AN ADVANCED ULTRA-LIGHT AEROPLANE AND
IS OPERATING WITHOUT A CERTIFICATE OF AIRWORTHINESS
Once you begin operating the aircraft, you are required to complete the
maintenance as called for by the manufacturer. This maintenance will be outlined
in the specified maintenance program that includes the inspection schedule and
the maintenance procedures to maintain your aeroplane in a 밼it for flight?
condition. If the manufacturer identifies any potentially unsafe flight
conditions affecting the aeroplane at any time during its life, the manufacturer
is obliged to issue information about corrective procedures. This information is
called a Mandatory Action. You are required to comply with any
Mandatory Actions issued by the manufacturer of your advanced ultra-light
aeroplane.
You must also avoid making modifications to your advanced ultra-light
aeroplane, unless you receive prior written approval of the manufacturer. The
manufacturer is the only place from where you can obtain this approval.
Therefore, when purchasing an advanced ultra-light aeroplane, you would do well
to satisfy yourself that you believe that the manufacturer will remain available
to you for the life of your aircraft. Owners of advanced ultra-light aeroplanes
for which the manufacturers no longer exist may find themselves without a way of
obtaining the approval required for any future support they may need. Unlike
conventional aircraft (for which Transport Canada establishes airworthiness and
other standards), Transport Canada has no basis on which to judge the
appropriateness of any changes to advanced ultra-light aeroplanes. That
responsibility rests solely with the manufacturer.
If you prefer support from Transport Canada for matters relating to the
aircraft you own or operate, you will need to consider an aircraft for which
Transport Canada issues some sort of flight authority. Ultra-light aeroplanes
operate without any form of Transport Canada flight authority and are reliant on
the manufacturer alone for airworthiness and other support.
Many of the models eligible for registration as advanced ultra-light
aeroplanes appear on the list with a number of engine and undercarriage options.
Some manufacturers produce different aeroplanes with different engines and
different undercarriage configurations for a particular model. Before you change
the engine or undercarriage configuration, you must consult with and follow the
directions from the manufacturer. Even if your model of aeroplane appears on the
list with a different engine, you need to follow the instructions of the
manufacturer if you wish to install the alternate engine. Similarly, many models
are listed with both land and sea undercarriage. When changing to the other
undercarriage configuration, you need to follow the instructions of the
manufacturer. If you choose to change your landplane configuration from wheels
to skis, you need to follow the instructions of the manufacturer.
Failure to comply with the maintenance or modification requirements will
cause your aeroplane to cease to be an advanced ultra-light aeroplane. When that
happens, CAR 202.59 causes the certificate of registration to be cancelled.
If you are fortunate and your aeroplane still meets the requirements of a basic
ultra-light aeroplane, it may be eligible for re-registration as such. However,
when an advanced ultra-light aeroplane becomes a basic ultra-light aeroplane,
operating restrictions increase. Many owners consider the prohibition against
carrying a passenger to be one of the major unwanted outcomes.
If you decide to purchase an advanced ultra-light aeroplane that is already
registered, you will need to obtain a document called a Fit For
Flight Form. If you are the owner of an advanced ultra-light
aeroplane and you sell it, you will be asked to provide the purchaser with a Fit
For Flight Form. Both the old owner and the new owner sign this
document. It serves as evidence of the transfer of custody and control of an
advanced ultra-light aeroplane. The seller declares and the buyer accepts that
the aeroplane is fit for flight, there are no unapproved modifications on the
aeroplane, all mandatory actions have been completed and there are no
outstanding maintenance actions as required by the Manufacturer Specified
Maintenance Program. The Fit For Flight Form will
be required for the re-registration of the aeroplane.
The Ultra-light Aeroplane Transition Strategy is a
document that outlines in more detail the requirements imposed on ultra-light
aeroplanes in Canada. Section 3 of this document outlines requirements for
advanced ultra-light aeroplanes. You can find the Ultra-light

Operating Limitations
Advanced Ultra-light Aeroplanes operate under the same regulations
as basic ultra-light aeroplanes except that a passenger may be carried if the
pilot holds a licence/permit providing passenger carrying privileges AND the
advanced ultra-light aeroplane meets the following conditions:
- The aircraft is registered as an Advanced Ultra-light Aeroplane;
- The Advanced Ultra-light Aeroplane is maintained in accordance with the Manufacturer
Specified Maintenance Program;
- The owner of the Advanced Ultra-light Aeroplane has complied with any Mandatory
Actions specified by the manufacturer;
- The Advanced Ultra-light Aeroplane has not been modified without written
approval from the manufacturer; and
- A placard is installed in a location highly visible to the both occupants
of the aircraft containing the following information:
THIS AIRCRAFT IS AN ADVANCED ULTRA-LIGHT AEROPLANE
AND IS OPERATING WITHOUT A CERTIFICATE OF AIRWORTHINESS.
Failure to comply with these conditions will cause the certificate of
registration of the advanced ultra-light aeroplane to be cancelled in accordance
with CAR 202.59. It may subsequently be possible to re-register the aeroplane as
a basic ultra-light if it is eligible.
Advanced Ultra-light Aeroplane Uses
In addition to private recreational use an Advanced Ultra-light
Aeroplane may be used for hire and reward for the purpose of pilot flight
training in accordance with section 406 of Part IV of the Canadian
Aviation Regulations.
An advanced ultra-light aeroplane MAY NOT be used for any other
commercial aviation operation or aerial work.
