Why Aviation Fieldbook exists
Canadian aviation information is spread across regulators, schools, employers and program organizers. This project puts the next decision and the original source in one place for students, parents, school counsellors and Air Cadets.

Judge the pages by their sources
Aviation Fieldbook is run independently. Judge the site by its sources, not by who made it. That choice is deliberate. A name, school, city, age or photo would not make a licensing rule more accurate.
There is no nonprofit incorporation, advisory board, sponsor list or claimed partnership with a regulator, school or cadet league. Licensing, medical, admissions and hiring decisions belong to the responsible organizations.
One next decision, with the source beside it
Requirements, prices and program dates change, and they live on different official sites. Aviation Fieldbook is a reading guide: it states the decision someone is trying to make, points to the organization that owns the answer, and labels practical questions separately from rules.
How a claim gets onto this site
- Identify the decision: write the question a student or parent is trying to answer.
- Find the responsible source: Transport Canada for licensing; NAV CANADA for its selection; an award organizer for its criteria; a provider for its own prices.
- Separate rule from guidance: quote or paraphrase the requirement accurately, then label the practical question or planning suggestion.
- Date the check: record when the source was reviewed and when it must be checked again.
- Correct promptly: when a source changes or a reader reports a problem, verify against the responsible source, update the page and its record, or remove the unsupported claim.
Source priority: (1) Transport Canada and Government of Canada; (2) responsible aviation institutions; (3) official program and scholarship organizers; (4) official school, airline or employer pages for their own offers; (5) secondary sources only when needed for context.
How a listing is checked
A verified listing means the named program and the specific facts shown were found on an official page on the displayed date. It does not mean the organizer has endorsed Aviation Fieldbook or that the student qualifies. “Unknown” means a current application period could not be established. “Upcoming” is used only when the organizer states a future opening. “Needs re-check” means the review date has passed and the record must not be treated as current.
Once a review date or an open deadline passes, the site stops showing that record as open. If a filter shows nothing, that is intentional: no current listing has been verified for that combination yet.

You can also use the feedback and corrections form. Include the official source when you can. Please do not send medical details, application documents or other sensitive information.
What the site collects, and what it does not, is on the privacy page. Counsellors and cadet leaders can use the printable kit. The workshop page is an outline for review, not a booking.
Limitations
This is general educational information. It is not official Transport Canada guidance, flight instruction, medical advice, financial advice, admissions advice, or a guarantee of a licence, scholarship or job. Always check the linked source and speak to the responsible organization about your circumstances.
