605.03 Flight Authority (C. of A) means a certificate of airworthiness attesting to an aircraft’s fitness for flight
(1) No person shall operate an aircraft in flight unless
(a) a flight authority is in effect in respect of the aircraft;
(b) the aircraft is operated in accordance with the conditions set out in the flight authority; and

When there is a change in ownership.
The new owner must notify Transport Canada within seven days, meanwhile the Interim Certificate of Registration must be completed and carried on board the aircraft if it is flown.
The Certificate of Airworthiness would be temporarily invalidated if:

- Airworthiness Directive / AD deferred item is required for the intended flight;
- Scheduled Maintenance inspections not completed (CAR 605.86);
- Annual Airworthiness Information Report (AAIR) not submitted (CAR 501.01);
- Airworthiness Directives / AD if issued for the type must be completed (CAR605.84)
Performance Criteria
Vx = Best Angle of climb speed. Greatest altitude in the shortest distance.
Vy = Best Rate of climb speed. Greatest altitude in the shortest time.
What is Va?
A manufacture design speed at max gross weight.
Maneuvering speed is the speed at which the aircraft’s wing – operated at the critical angle of attack – produces a load factor equal to the aircraft’s certified limit load factor.
Below Va, you can move a single flight control, in one direction only, in smooth air.
If you’re flying below gross weight, the maneuvering speed is reduced because a lower AOA is required to produce the lift necessary to maintain level flight.
Zone entry & exit for class C D E
Get clearance five minutes before entering zone. This means a minimum of 8NM at 90kts
Report clear of zone.
