Notes:

Type certificate Holders (TCH)

  1. Not ALL Canadian published ADs pertain to Canadian TCH products, only

  2. Canadian products are found on Foreign issued ADs and these are sometimes adopted by TC (though, normal practice is that TC/CAW reviews the AD, and then issues a Canadian AD afterward)

Emergency AD’s

Distributed These are to be distributed immediately upon publication or receipt by TC. An AD of this nature usually requires immediate corrective action by the owners of this product

...

Identified on the Y93 table by Sale_reported = “Y” - or - Active_flag = “I” . Either of these conditions render the operator uncontactable by CAWIS and these operators are exempted from both AD and AAIR distribution until such time as legitimate contact data is re-established in CCARCS.

...

These are aircraft with flight authority F,H or I. These They are not required to comply with ADs and are not included in distributions (exception: if the aircraft is using some kind of type-approved engine or propeller, they will appear on the distribution list )

Owner Maintenance aircraft

Flight Authority = “C” C. These are usually older aircraft that have become uneconomical to maintain. All models for these aircraft are suffixed with an “X” Xand thus, do not appear in AD distributions. The onus is on the operator to look up ADs for their A/E/P models on the public web search facility and inspect/maintain their own aircraft.

...

When an AD is cancelled it needs to be :

  1. have the cancelled indicator ticked on the AD modify page

  2. untick all “document available” document availablelinks

  3. The word cancelled is to appear at the beginning of the subject -or- cancelled by in the event that it has been replaced by a new AD.

  4. If cancelled by a new AD, the Country Code/Ad number needs to be filled into the appropriate AD fields, and included in the AD subject where it is hyperlinked when displayed on AD web

  5. Ideally, cancelled ADs should be deleted from the External/Internal web folder(s), but CAWIS users cannot access either. So the practice was created to overwrite old documents using “dummy” docs having the same name ( sample DUMMY AD ) as outlined in TFS ITEM #13712. The user’s concern here was that cancelled and/or superseded versions of old ADs were still available to the public through Google search, despite no longer being available using AD web.
