π§ What Changed (Summary)
NAV CANADA is changing the layout/format of the AIRAC Canada document, starting with the 24 Dec 2026 AIRAC cycle. The content of amendments continues to be promulgated, but they will be organized under AIP Canada subject headings in a new bookmarked PDF format.
- AIRAC Canada will be provided in a new PDF layout with bookmarks based on AIP Canada subject headings.
- Amendments will be grouped by AIP Canada subject headings; legacy AIRAC sectioning is being transitioned via annotated references to affected aeronautical information products.
- A User Guide is available, including examples and correlation tables between legacy AIRAC sections and AIP subject headings/product locations.
- For the 24 Dec 2026 cycle, only the new AIRAC Canada format will be provided as the official source of amendments.
βοΈ General Aviation Impact (Highlighted)
Airspace / Procedures:
- No specific airspace or procedure changes are described; this AIC addresses how amendments are presented in AIRAC Canada.
Operational Notes:
- Pilots/operators who use AIRAC Canada should expect a different document structure and navigation (AIP subject heading-based bookmarks) and update internal review/check workflows accordingly, especially for the 24 Dec 2026 cycle.
- Use the User Guide to map legacy AIRAC section references to the new AIP subject headings/product locations.
VFR Impact:
- VFR pilots who rely on AIRAC Canada for awareness of upcoming changes should plan for the new organization of information; the underlying amendments are still promulgated, but will be found under different headings.
