Editorial policy

How PassCARs writes, sources, dates and corrects its study content — and why the official Transport Canada and DGCA documents always take precedence over it.

Official sources first

Canadian content is written from Transport Canada publications: the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs), the Standards and Airworthiness Manual chapters, and Transport Canada licensing pages. India content is written from official DGCA and DGCA Pariksha documents.

Each Canadian guide lists the official Transport Canada references it relies on, and each India guide cites the specific DGCA document sections behind each part of the page.

Study content is not the official regulation

Guides, summaries, lessons, questions and flashcards are study material written by PassCARs to explain the rules. They are not legal advice and do not replace the official text. Where they differ, the current official regulator document controls.

The Regulation browser shows verified source metadata and plain-language summaries; the official text stays at the linked Transport Canada or Justice Laws source. The CARs Regulatory Assistant gives fixed, rule-based answers that cite the regulation sections they rely on — it is not a chatbot.

Review dates

Every Canadian guide shows the date it was last reviewed against its sources, and every India guide shows the date PassCARs last checked the cited DGCA documents. Requirements change, so check the linked official source before relying on any page for a licensing decision.

Corrections

If something looks wrong or out of date, email support@passcars.ca with the page address and, if possible, the official source you are comparing it with. Confirmed errors are corrected on the page and its review date is updated. See also the contact page.

Independence

PassCARs is an independent study platform. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Transport Canada and is not the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Content is written and maintained by PassCARs; pages do not currently list individual authors or reviewers.
