50 of the 50 lessons on this path have a Chinese translation, offered as the 中文译本 chip on the lesson it translates. Translations are unofficial: only the English and French text published by Justice Laws has legal force, and every translation links back to its original. Progress marks the lesson once, in either language, because counting a translation as a second reading would count one reading twice.

What must I learn first?

93 proposed orderings, none confirmed by a person.

An ordering edge is admitted only on human confirmation, because a wrong one misroutes a learner and nothing on screen reveals it. These are shown as proposals for that reason. Treat them as a suggested reading order, not as a settled syllabus.

Read this first	Then this	Why	Status
`tp15263.area1`	`tp15263.area6`	The operating rules in area 6 are permissions and prohibitions created in area 1; 901.47's distance limits cannot be applied without knowing which division governs the flight. regulatory	proposed
`tp15263.area1`	`tp15263.area8`	Radiotelephony is used to obtain the authorizations area 1 requires, so the authorization regime precedes the phraseology. regulatory	proposed
`tp15263.area2`	`tp15263.area7`	Theory of flight explains the behaviour of the airframe area 2 describes; the mechanism precedes the explanation. technical	proposed
`tp15263.area2`	`tp15263.area6`	Serviceability and maintenance requirements bind the system area 2 defines, so the system must be known before its pre-flight checks mean anything. regulatory	proposed
`tp15263.area3`	`tp15263.area6`	Crew fitness and visual-observer duties are conditions on operating, so human factors precede the operating rules they qualify. regulatory	proposed
`tp15263.area4`	`tp15263.area6`	Weather minima and icing prohibitions are weather facts applied to operations; 901.35 cannot be assessed without reading a forecast. regulatory	proposed
`tp15263.area5`	`tp15263.area1`	Airspace classes are named in the rules and identified on a chart, so the navigation skill of reading airspace precedes applying 901.14. definitional	proposed
`tp15263.area5`	`tp15263.area6`	The site survey requires the altitudes and routes for approach and departure, which is a navigation task. sequence	proposed
`kp:tp15263.a6.1.weight-and-balance.locating-centre-of-gra.1`	`kp:tp15263.a6.4..hover-ceiling-maximum-.1`	Centre of gravity and weight determine the thrust available, so the hover ceiling is computed from the weight-and-balance result rather than separately. technical	proposed
`kp:tp15263.a6.1.aircraft-performan.effects-of-density-alt.1`	`kp:tp15263.a6.4..hover-ceiling-maximum-.1`	Density altitude reduces available lift, so the density-altitude relationship must be understood before a hover ceiling can be interpreted. technical	proposed
`kp:tp15263.a2.1.airframes.handling-care-securing.1`	`kp:tp15263.a2.1.electrical-systems.speed-controllers-batt.1`	Handling and securing a system presupposes knowing its electrical components, because securing means disconnecting them in the right order. sequence	proposed
`kp:l1c.a1.101-interpretation-definitio.1`	`docs.availability`	The RPAS operator certificate regime governs who must hold an operations manual, which is what 901.30 requires be immediately available. regulatory	proposed
`aerodromes.separation`	`airspace.controlled`	Aerodrome separation and controlled airspace are separate constraints that both apply near an airport; the distance rule is the simpler one and is taught first. sequence	proposed
`distance.horizontal`	`crew.visual-observer`	The separation requirement is what makes a visual observer necessary in some operations, so the distance rule precedes the observer rules. regulatory	proposed
`night.lighting`	`night.anti-collision`	The general night lighting requirement must be understood before the stricter BVLOS anti-collision specification, which is an additional requirement rather than a replacement. regulatory	proposed
`preflight.information`	`docs.availability`	Pre-flight duties come before launch, and the manual-availability requirement is one of them. sequence	proposed
`altitude.maximum`	`fpv.icing`	Altitude limits are the most basic operating constraint; the conditions that stop a flight, including icing, are taught once the limits are understood. sequence	proposed
`crew.fitness`	`crew.visual-observer`	Fitness to act as crew applies to a visual observer as a crew member, so the definition of the role precedes its specific duties. definitional	proposed
`registration.requirement`	`registration.application`	Registration is required at 250 g and above, and the application in 900.16 is the act of registering: which aircraft must be registered is settled by 900.13 before any application means anything. regulatory	proposed
`registration.application`	`car.cancellation-events`	The events in 900.18 cancel a certificate of registration, so the certificate and the application that produced it have to be understood before its cancellation can be. sequence	proposed
`declaration`	`rpas.annual-report`	The annual report is due by the anniversary of the day the DECLARATION was made, so the declaration is the clock the reporting duty runs on. regulatory	proposed
`acceptance`	`rpas.service-difficulty-reporting`	The pilot's duty in 901.51 is conditioned on a declaration AND an acceptance letter issued under 901.196, so the letter is a precondition of the reporting duty and not a parallel topic. regulatory	proposed
`evlos`	`rpas.visual-observer-certification`	901.75's certificate requirement binds a visual observer performing duties for an EXTENDED VLOS operation, so the operation type has to be known before the certificate rule applies. definitional	proposed
`rpas.visual-observer-certification`	`rpas.visual-observer-duties`	The certificate condition in 901.75(a) is what qualifies a person to perform the unaided-contact and distance duties in (b) and (c): who may observe precedes what observing requires. sequence	proposed
`airspace.controlled`	`transponder`	Transponder airspace is defined by reference to controlled airspace, so the classes and their boundaries have to be read before the equipment rule can be applied. definitional	proposed
`declaration.safety-and-reliability`	`containment`	The containment standard is not applied where 922.07 applies, and its fly-away analysis is performed INSIDE the 922.07 assessment, so the safety-and-reliability process is the frame the containment question sits in. regulatory	proposed
`airspace.controlled`	`car.escat-plan`	The ESCAT reporting clock divides on whether the aircraft is inside controlled airspace (602.125) or outside it (30 minutes), so the boundary has to be known before the interval can be applied. regulatory	proposed
`airspace.mf-reporting-before-manoeuvring-area`	`aerodromes.mf-departure-reporting`	602.100's departure sequence opens with the manoeuvring-area intentions report of 602.99, so the ground report is the first step of the departure procedure rather than a separate one. sequence	proposed
`night.lighting`	`night.detection`	The lighting requirement is what makes an aircraft visible at night, which is the precondition for detecting others; the requirement precedes the technique. sequence	proposed
`car.other-document-definition`	`car.production-duty`	103.02(2) makes a person produce 'a Canadian aviation document, technical record or other document', and 103.02(4) is the definition of that last term: the duty's scope cannot be read before the term is. definitional	proposed
`basic-operations.certificate-and-recency-documents`	`basic-operations.advanced-certificate-and-recency-documents`	901.66 is 901.57's rule one division up with a NARROWER list of accepted certificates, so the Division IV version has to be known before the Division V difference means anything. regulatory	proposed
`altitude.maximum`	`altitude.types`	901.25's limit is an AGL limit, and the operator applies it to whatever the control station displays: which quantity is on the screen has to be known before the limit can be applied to it. definitional	proposed
`altitude.types`	`altitude.measurement`	Once the quantity is known the accuracy question follows from it — a GPS altitude carries errors a pressure altitude does not, and that only matters for the type just established. technical	proposed
`night.definition`	`night.lighting`	901.39's lighting requirement applies to operations at night, and night is a defined period: the definition is what makes the requirement apply at a given hour. definitional	proposed
`distance.unit-conversion`	`distance.horizontal`	901.26 is a distance that has to be measured before it can be kept, and the field method is a map scale converted to a ground distance; the measurement precedes the rule it serves. sequence	proposed
`modification`	`ops.tethered-rpa`	Fitting a tether is a modification to the system, so the modification rules in 901.70 are what decide whether a safety assurance declaration survives it. regulatory	proposed
`rpas.sfoc-complexity-levels`	`rpas.sfoc-application-contents`	903.02 fixes the contents of an application BY complexity level — the level decides which items are required, so it is settled before the list is read. regulatory	proposed
`rpas.sfoc-application-contents`	`rpas.sfoc-application-process`	The process is the lead time, the ORA and the SAIL for what the contents section has already described: what is submitted precedes how and when it is submitted. sequence	proposed
`aerodromes.separation`	`aerodromes.l1c-separation`	The Level 1 Complex ring is 5 NM from CFS or CWAS aerodromes — a stricter case of the aerodrome separation already read, and it is stated as an addition to it. regulatory	proposed
`rpas.visual-line-of-sight`	`weather.sun-glare`	Glare matters because the line of sight is a duty: 901.11's requirement is what turns an uncomfortable sun into an operational threat. regulatory	proposed
`car.application-scope`	`ops.payload-transport-regulation`	The Air Transportation Regulations and the TDG Act apply to an RPA BECAUSE Part IX does not cover them; the scope of Part IX is what leaves the room they occupy. regulatory	proposed
`car.application-scope`	`car.escat-plan`	602.146 sits in Part VI Subpart 2, which 602.01 excludes for remotely piloted aircraft: the scope rule is what tells a reader whose duty the ESCAT plan is. regulatory	proposed
`car.application-scope`	`aerodromes.mf-arrival-reporting`	The MF reporting sections are in the same excluded subpart, so the scope of Part IX decides whether the arrival report is imposed on the RPA pilot at all. regulatory	proposed
`weather.lapse-rate`	`weather.minima`	901.34 requires weather sufficient for the aircraft to be operated per its manual, and the temperature at altitude is part of that: the lapse rate is how the surface figure becomes the figure the aircraft meets. technical	proposed
`operator-training`	`rpoc.certificate-issuance`	A training programme meeting 901.219 is one of the things an applicant must already have before a certificate is issued under 901.214, so it precedes the issuance. regulatory	proposed
`airspace.controlled`	`airspace.class-f`	601.02 lists Class F in BOTH the controlled and the uncontrolled classes, and the lesson's own opening says every other class is one or the other: the two categories must be known before Class F's behaviour can be described. definitional	proposed
`rpas.operating-weight`	`registration.requirement`	registration-certificate-01's prerequisite: 'You know what operating weight measures, and what it leaves out' — 900.13's registration threshold is expressed in operating weight, so the measurement has to be known before the threshold applies. regulatory	proposed
`registration.certificate`	`registration.proof-of-registration`	registration-certificate-01's prerequisite: 'You know the difference between the certificate of registration and the registration number' — what the certificate IS has to be known before 900.20's duty to produce proof of it can be read. definitional	proposed
`declaration`	`records.declaration-records`	declaration-records-01's prerequisite: 'You know whether a declaration has been made for your model, and by whom, because every duty on [the records]' turns on it. regulatory	proposed
`acceptance`	`declaration`	safety-assurance-declaration-01's prerequisite: 'You know whether the model has an acceptance letter, because that is what brings the declaration into effect' — the letter is a precondition of the declaration doing any work. regulatory	proposed
`declaration`	`rpas.sfoc-contents`	sfoc-requirement-01's prerequisite: 'You know that a declaration is a different instrument: it is a claim about a model of [aircraft]' — the SFOC's contents only mean something once the other instrument is understood. definitional	proposed
`ops.advertised-event`	`rpas.sfoc-contents`	sfoc-requirement-01's prerequisite, cited to 901.41: 'You know whether the flight is at an advertised event' — that fact is what attracts the SFOC requirement whose contents follow. regulatory	proposed
`rpas.operating-weight`	`rpas.sfoc-prohibition`	sfoc-requirement-01's prerequisite: 'You know the operating weight of your aircraft, because 150 kg and 250 g are both thresholds in 901.41's prohibition. regulatory	proposed
`rpas.operating-weight`	`ops.advertised-event`	advertised-event-01's prerequisite: 'You know the aircraft's operating weight, because the lightest aircraft is not exempt here' — the exemption is drawn by weight. regulatory	proposed
`rpas.medium-aircraft`	`weather.minima`	weather-minima-01's prerequisite: 'You know whether the aircraft is medium or small: only the medium case carries the [four-mile ground visibility rule]' of 901.34. regulatory	proposed
`rpas.visual-line-of-sight`	`weather.minima`	weather-minima-01's prerequisite: 'You know whether the operation is VLOS or BVLOS, because the two have different [minima]' — 901.34 sets one baseline for VLOS and another for BVLOS. regulatory	proposed
`rpas.medium-aircraft`	`distance.horizontal`	distance-01's prerequisite: 'You know the class of the aircraft you are flying (small or medium)' — 901.26's separation is written for the small class, so the class decides whether the distance rule applies at all. regulatory	proposed
`flight-reviewer`	`licensing.examination-conduct`	flight-reviewer-01's prerequisite: 'You know that a flight reviewer rating is an endorsement on a pilot certificate' — what the rating is precedes the conduct rules that attach to holding it. definitional	proposed
`multi-aircraft`	`ops.formation-flight`	multi-aircraft-01's prerequisite: 'You know whether the system is designed to fly multiple aircraft from a single control station' — 901.40's permission is conditioned on that design. regulatory	proposed
`docs.manufacturer-instructions`	`preflight.procedures`	procedures-01's prerequisite: 'You know your system's manufacturer's instructions, because the procedures you establish [must follow them]' — 901.23's procedures are built on that document. regulatory	proposed
`docs.manufacturer-instructions`	`gcs.c2-link-reliability`	The same prerequisite in procedures-01 covers the link: the command and control procedures are established from the manufacturer's instructions rather than invented. regulatory	proposed
`transponder`	`airspace.radio-failure-vfr`	transponder-01's prerequisite: 'You know whether the aircraft has a transponder and automatic pressure-altitude reporting' — 602.138's radio-failure rule differs with the equipment carried. regulatory	proposed
`rpas.visual-line-of-sight`	`daa`	daa-01's prerequisite: 'You know whether the operation is VLOS or BVLOS, because the DAA requirement turns on it' — the equipment rule is written per operating mode. regulatory	proposed
`crew.visual-observer`	`daa`	daa-01's prerequisite: 'You know whether a visual observer is part of the operation, because that decides which [equipment] is required'. regulatory	proposed
`rpas.operating-weight`	`containment`	containment-01's prerequisite: 'You can tell the small class from the medium class by operating weight, because the [922.08 standard applies by class]' — the class decides which containment requirement is read. regulatory	proposed
`rpas.visual-line-of-sight`	`containment`	containment-01's prerequisite: 'You know whether the operation is VLOS or BVLOS, and whether it is conducted more or less [than 1 km from a populated area]' — 922.08 attaches to the BVLOS cases. regulatory	proposed
`rpas.operating-weight`	`declaration`	declaration-sfoc-01's prerequisite: 'You know the operating weight class: small or medium. The two lists in 901.69 are [split along that line]' — the declaration is asserted against the list that applies to the class. regulatory	proposed
`crew.visual-observer`	`rpas.visual-line-of-sight`	vlos-01's prerequisite: 'You know who is operating and whether a visual observer is part of the operation' — 901.11's duty can be discharged by an observer, so the role must be known first. definitional	proposed
`declaration`	`declaration.safety-and-reliability`	declaration-safety-reliability-01's prerequisite: 'You know what a declaration is asserted against: the Standard 922 requirements named in it' — the instrument before the process it carries. definitional	proposed
`rpas.medium-aircraft`	`declaration.safety-and-reliability`	declaration-safety-reliability-01's prerequisite: 'You know the operation's class: medium RPAS near and over people, or BVLOS that is not [within 1 km of a populated area]' — the class and the location decide which 922 standard applies. regulatory	proposed
`rpas.operating-weight`	`l1c.a1.division-vi-level-1-complex-operations`	division-vi-l1c-01's prerequisite: 'You know the small and medium classes by operating weight, because the two paragraphs of 901.87 are split along that line'. regulatory	proposed
`l1c.a1.division-vi-level-1-complex-operations`	`aerodromes.l1c-separation`	The Lesson's own operating list applies the aerodrome rule to the regime: a level 1 complex operation is flown more than 5 NM from CFS or CWAS aerodromes 'as per CARs section 901.47', so the regime is known before its ring is applied. regulatory	proposed
`l1c.a1.area-rpas-operator-rpas-operator-certificate`	`rpoc.certificate-issuance`	operator-certificate-01's prerequisite: 'You know that an operation under Division VI requires an RPAS operator certificate' — the requirement precedes the conditions under which one is issued. regulatory	proposed
`l1c.a1.area-rpas-operator-rpas-operator-certificate`	`rpoc.eligibility`	The same prerequisite, read one step further: who may hold the certificate only matters once it is known that the operation requires one. regulatory	proposed
`rpas.operating-weight`	`preflight.takeoff-and-recovery-conditions`	takeoff-recovery-01's prerequisite: 'You know the operating weight class of your aircraft, because 'suitable for the intended operation' is a judgement the class enters into. regulatory	proposed
`docs.manufacturer-instructions`	`ops.control-of-rpas`	control-instructions-01's prerequisite: 'You know your aircraft's operating manual, because that is the document the section names' — the manual is what the control rules are measured against. regulatory	proposed
`docs.manufacturer-instructions`	`weather.minima`	weather-minima-01's prerequisite: 'You know the operating manuals for your system, because both the VLOS test and the [BVLOS test]' are read against the manual's limits. regulatory	proposed
`rpas.visual-line-of-sight`	`multi-aircraft`	multi-aircraft-01's prerequisite: 'You know whether the operation will be VLOS or not, because that single fact decides which' of the multiple-aircraft rules applies. regulatory	proposed
`tp15263.area7`	`tp15263.area6`	Theory of flight explains the performance area 6 measures: density altitude, radius of turn and the hover ceiling are applications of lift and load factor, so the mechanism precedes the performance figures. technical	proposed
`declaration`	`rpas.sfoc-prohibition`	sfoc-requirement-01's prerequisite: 'You know that a declaration is a different instrument' — 901.41's prohibition is read against what the declaration does NOT cover. regulatory	proposed
`ops.advertised-event`	`ops.special-aviation-event`	sfoc-requirement-01's prerequisite, cited to 901.41: 'You know whether the flight is at an advertised event' — the event is what makes the special-aviation-event rule apply. regulatory	proposed
`people`	`ops.advertised-event`	advertised-event-01's prerequisite: 'You know where your flight will be relative to the people attending, since the distance to the [attendees]' is part of what the rule measures. definitional	proposed
`l1c.a1.601-airspace`	`car.escat-plan`	escat-01's prerequisite: 'You know what the ADIZ is and where Canadian domestic airspace begins, because those two areas are where the section applies.' regulatory	proposed
`l1c.a6.air-traffic-services-and-procedures`	`car.escat-plan`	escat-01's prerequisite: 'You know what an air traffic services unit is, because every duty here runs through one.' definitional	proposed
`l1c.a1.subpart-1-small-remotely-piloted-aircraft-and-me`	`records.declaration-records`	declaration-records-01's prerequisite: 'You know the model is a small or medium remotely piloted aircraft system, the two classes Division XI is written for.' definitional	proposed
`rpoc.certificate-issuance`	`l1c.a1.division-vi-level-1-complex-operations`	division-vi-l1c-01's prerequisite: 'You know what an RPAS operator certificate is: the operator-side document, not the pilot's' — the regime's gate has to be known before its scope is. definitional	proposed
`declaration`	`people`	people-01's prerequisite: 'You know whether the aircraft has a declaration covering operations near or over people, because that is the only thing that permits the closer distances.' regulatory	proposed
`rpas.pilot-requirements`	`rpas.supervision-exception`	pilot-supervision-01's prerequisite: 'You know the certificate names: basic operations under 901.55, advanced operations under 901.64, level 1 complex operations under 901.90.' definitional	proposed
`l1c.a2.launch`	`fpv.icing`	fpv-icing-01's prerequisite: 'You know the forecast and the aircraft's state before you launch — icing is assessed before flight and checked on the airframe.' sequence	proposed
`airspace.classification`	`aerodromes.separation`	Subject to section 901.73, no pilot shall operate a remotely piloted aircraft to conduct a VLOS operation if the aircraft is at a distance of less than regulatory	proposed
`rpas.pilot-certificates`	`rpas.advanced-certificate-issuance`	holds either (i) a pilot certificate - remotely piloted aircraft - advanced operations issued under section 901.64 regulatory	proposed
`rpas.declaration`	`acceptance`	verify that the model of system meets the technical requirements set out in Standard 922 for which the applicant proposes to make a declaration referred to in section 901.194 regulatory	proposed
