To obtain landing permits from Transport Canada, operators must submit a detailed application at least 24 hours prior to the flight. This application must contain several key documents, including:

1. Aircraft Registration Certificate: This document is crucial for verifying the aircraft’s legal registration.
2. Airworthiness Certificate: Confirms that the aircraft meets the necessary airworthiness standards.
3. Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC): A mandatory requirement for operators engaged in commercial flight operations.
4. Insurance Certificate: Serves as evidence of liability insurance for the aircraft, covering third-party claims and possibly additional risks.
5. Crew Documentation: Includes pilot licenses, medical certificates, crew passports, and any required visas based on the crew’s nationality.
6. Flight Plan: A detailed submission that outlines entry and exit points, dates, times, and the specific airports for both departure and arrival.
7. Noise Compliance Certificate: Validates adherence to noise regulations set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
8. Passenger Information: For commercial flights, a manifest of passengers and customs declarations for each individual are typically required.
9. Special Permits: Additional approvals may be needed for:
Charter Operations: Special permissions may be required for foreign commercial operators.
Cargo Flights: Depending on the type of cargo, permits for transporting dangerous goods may be necessary.
Humanitarian Operations or Special Events.
10. Security Clearances: Extra security authorizations may be necessary for flights involving dignitaries or other unique situations.

Moreover, operators are required to follow Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) and any relevant bilateral agreements. If the flight involves transporting dangerous goods, additional documentation and approvals will be necessary. The permit will specify any conditions or restrictions, such as designated landing airports and adherence to noise abatement procedures. Meeting all these criteria is crucial for ensuring the successful processing of the landing permit application.
