Should a Radio Station Licence be carried on board during flight in Canada?

In Canada, it is not a requirement to carry a Radio Station Licence on board during flights. This applies to both private and commercial operations within Canadian airspace. The regulations state that pilots must have a valid pilot licence and a restricted radio operator's certificate, but the actual Radio Station Licence, which pertains to the operation of radio equipment, does not need to be on board.

This simplifies operational requirements for pilots, allowing them to focus on flying without the burden of having to carry additional documentation that is not required. While this may differ from requirements in other countries, within Canada, pilots can operate their aircraft equipped with radio communications without needing to physically possess the Radio Station Licence during flight.
