RIC-21 — Study Guide for the Restricted Operator Certificate With Aeronautical Qualification (ROC-A)
4.4 Superfluous Communications and Interference

Radiocommunications between aeronautical stations should be restricted to those relating to safety and flight regularity. In accordance with subsection 32(1) of the Radiocommunication Regulations, superfluous communication, as well as profane and obscene language, is strictly prohibited.

Any person who violates the regulations relative to unauthorized communications, profane or obscene language is liable, on summary conviction, in the case of an individual, to a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year, or to both, or, in the case of a corporation, on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding twenty-five thousand dollars.

The Act clearly states that all radio stations shall be operated so as not to interfere with or interrupt the working of another radio station. The penalties for doing so are the same as those noted above. The only situation under which you may interrupt or interfere with the normal working of another station is when you are required to transmit a higher priority call or message, for example, distress, urgency or other priority calls or messages.
