SIDS not mandatory...
SID inspections are NOT mandatory for Canadian registered, small, privately owned aircraft.
From Transport Canada
"For non-commercial owner/operators of small piston aircraft who are operating under Standard 625 Appendix B however the ability to operate to the general annual inspection requirements of this appendix removes the requirement to perform the SID inspections.The Regulations state only the minimum requirements in order to comply however Transport Canada encourages all owners to assess manufacturer’s recommendations for their aircraft".
So now we know.
