Transport Canada Aeronautical Information Manual (TC AIM) - TP 14371

The Transport Canada Aeronautical Information Manual (TC AIM) provides flight crews with a single source for information on rules and procedures for aircraft operation in Canadian airspace.

It has been developed to bring together pre-flight reference information of a lasting nature into a single primary document.

Note: Since the TC AIM PDFs are large files, we encourage you to save the file to your local device. It will provide a better viewing experience than using a web browser's PDF viewer.
