1) Transport Canada – Civil Aviation:
On November 28th, 1996, RAA received certification as a Transport Canada ATO –
Approved Training Organization. The ATO Statement of Limitations included;
In December of 2002, Transport Canada unilaterally Archived all approvals for all training organizations that did not teach the entire AME college program, as individual organization course approvals no longer met with the new wording in the C.A.R’s.. Since RAA/ACT was and is CAMC approved we still meet with the criteria of Transport Canada “Acceptable Training” as found in Airworthiness Notice #C011. Where our Modules 1 and Module 2 are “… Training courses acceptable for the specified training program of an AMO”.
**For the current status of maintenance training courses and ATO Approvals pursuant to Canadian Aviation Regulations ( C.A.R’s. ) STD 566, refer to the most current editions of “Airworthiness Notice” No. C003, C008, C011 and C012.
