An Owner-Maintenance Category became part of Transport Canada’s new Recreational Aviation Policy in June 1996. It called for a new category for these aircraft that would allow owner-maintenance, part substitution and aircraft modification. This concern was turned into a proposal from several aviation associations, including COPA. In the mid-1990s, recreational aircraft owners expressed their concern for the spiraling cost and lack of availability of certified parts and expertise for older, unsupported aircraft. The Owner-Maintenance Category was developed to allow certain certified fixed-wing aircraft to be maintained, modified and upgraded under similar regulations as amateur built aircraft.
