Hi all, I just took a restricted operator something-or-other test for part of Ground School at a flight school in Canada, and I noticed something during the exam.
In the Canadian Radio Communications act "R-2" in section 9.2 they say:
"Except as prescribed, no person shall make use of or divulge a radio-based telephone communication
(a) if the originator of the communication or the person intended by the originator of the communication to receive it was in Canada when the communication was made; and (b) unless the originator, or the person intended by the originator to receive the communication consents to the use or divulgence."
Having not read much past this, does communicating over the air as an aviator imply you as the so-called "originator" consent to "use or divulgence".
