==Regulations== The CAR/ACF has a model rocket safety code that is similar to the [[NAR]] model rocket safety code. It also regulates high-power rocketry in Canada. Unlike TRA and NAR, the CAR/ACF has four certification levels. Also different from the American organizations is that the written test is taken before L1 certification rather than at L2. The written test contains two portions, 25 questions on Transport Canada regulations of which 100% must be answered correctly, and 25 questions on technical knowledge of which 75% must be answered correctly. To certify L4, a flier must complete an electronics endorsement of two flights with electronic deployment at the L3 level as well as submit documentation for approval from the L4 Certification Committee, similar to the process in Tripoli or NAR. {| class="wikitable" |+ High Power Certification Levels |- !

There are no restrictions on propellant mass or average thrust, so unlike in the USA there are no '''G''' motors considered high power, or '''H''' motors with low propellant mass that can be flown as a model rocket.
