Aviation Data Systems

Aviation Data Systems is a company in Delta, British Columbia, Canada. It sells CARs Deluxe, a downloadable library of Canadian aviation regulations and other government publications. The company serves people in Canadian aviation who need current rules fast.

The company says its library was built for one reason. It helps users find time-sensitive and changing regulatory information quickly. Staff no longer need to wade through thousands of pages of the Canadian Aviation Regulations to find the parts that apply to them.

CARs Deluxe holds Transport Canada and other Canadian government publications, in English only. They include the Aeronautics Act, the Canadian Aviation Regulations, the Transport Canada Aeronautical Information Manual and AIP Canada. They also include the Air Operator Certification Manual, advisory circulars, civil aviation safety alerts, Transport Canada forms and the Canada Labor Code.

Subscribers get a new version by download every three months. Each version has a summary of changes section, so users can spot regulatory updates and stay up to date and SMS compliant. The software installs itself after download and saves a backup copy of the files on the computer.

Users can make notes, apply highlights and add bookmarks without changing the original documents. They can work offline when needed. The company offers free online tutorials, a quick start guide, video tutorials and an FAQ to help new users get started.

Subscriptions come as single-user, two-user and multi-user site licences for one year. The company says it has more than 50 years in the Canadian aviation industry and has provided this service for 24 years. Online purchasing is not available at present, so buyers call the sales line. Customers can book a demo, and technical support has its own contact.
