FFF - having done my early student pilot training in Canada, I couldn't recall having seen that requirement. I did, however, remember that you had a certain minimimum survival equipment list when flying in specified remote areas. I also remembered that it was forbidden to fly low over herds of elk / caribou, but couldn't remember if moose (or is the plural meese??!!
) were also verboten.
Looking at the Transport Canada
regulations , it say the following regarding survival equipment:
602.61 (1) Subject to subsection (2), no person shall operate an aircraft over land unless there is carried on board survival equipment, sufficient for the survival on the ground of each person on board, given the geographical area, the season of the year and anticipated seasonal climatic variations, that provides the means for
(a) starting a fire;
(b) providing shelter;
(c) providing or purifying water; and
(d) visually signalling distress.
Have spent some time trying to find the regulations regarding overflight of herds of caribou / elk but haven't found it yet.
