To acquire landing permits from Transport Canada, operators are required to submit a comprehensive application at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled flight. This application must contain several critical documents, including:

1. Aircraft Registration Certificate (ARC): Vital for confirming that the aircraft is legally registered.
2. Airworthiness Certificate (AWC): Verifies that the aircraft complies with all necessary airworthiness standards.
3. Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC): Required for operators conducting commercial aviation activities.
4. Insurance Certificate (IC): Serves as proof of liability insurance for the aircraft, including coverage for third-party claims and potentially other risks.
5. Crew Documentation (CD): Encompasses pilot licenses, medical certificates, crew passports, and any required visas depending on the nationality of the crew.
6. Flight Plan (FP): A comprehensive document outlining entry and exit points, scheduled dates and times, and the specific airports for departure and arrival.
7. Noise Compliance Certificate (NCC): Confirms adherence to noise standards established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
8. Passenger List (PL): For commercial flights, this includes a manifest of all passengers along with customs declarations for each individual.
9. Additional Permits (AP): May include special permissions for:
Charter Operations (CO): Foreign commercial operators might require specific authorization.
Cargo Flights (CF): Permits for transporting dangerous goods may be necessary, depending on the nature of the cargo.
Humanitarian Missions or Special Events (HM/SE).
10. Security Clearances (SC): Additional approvals may be needed for flights involving dignitaries or other unique circumstances.

Moreover, compliance with Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) and any applicable bilateral agreements is essential. If the flight involves transporting dangerous goods, additional documentation and approvals will also be necessary. The permit will specify any conditions or restrictions, such as designated landing airports and adherence to noise abatement guidelines. Fulfilling all these requirements is vital for the successful processing of the landing permit application.
