To gain landing permits from Transport Canada, operators must prepare and submit a thorough application at least 24 hours before the intended flight. This application needs to include a range of crucial documents, such as:

1. Aircraft Registration Certificate: This document is essential for confirming the legal registration of the aircraft.
2. Airworthiness Certificate: Serves as proof that the aircraft meets all required airworthiness criteria.
3. Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC): Required for any operator providing commercial flight services.
4. Insurance Certificate: Demonstrates proof of liability insurance for the aircraft, covering third-party risks and potentially other exposures.
5. Crew Documentation: Encompasses pilot licenses, medical certifications, crew passports, and any necessary visas according to the crew’s nationality.
6. Flight Plan: A comprehensive outline detailing entry and exit points, dates, times, and the specific airports for both departure and arrival.
7. Noise Certificate: Ensures that the aircraft complies with the noise standards set forth by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
8. Passenger Information: For commercial flights, a passenger manifest along with customs declarations for each individual is typically required.
9. Special Permits: Additional permissions may be necessary for:
Charter Operations: Special authorization might be required for foreign commercial air operators.
Cargo Transport: Depending on the nature of the cargo, permits for hazardous materials may be essential.
Humanitarian Missions or Special Events.
10. Security Clearances: Additional security approvals may be required for flights transporting dignitaries or in other unique scenarios.

Additionally, adherence to Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) and any relevant bilateral agreements is essential. Should the flight involve transporting hazardous materials, extra documentation and approvals will be necessary. The permit will outline specific conditions or restrictions, including approved landing airports and compliance with noise abatement procedures. Fulfilling all these requirements is essential for a successful landing permit application.
