The company has announced a level of service review which involves all stakeholders. I believe this was being driven/decided before the pandemic and is not a result of it. Yeah I know this was announced a while ago, but I wasn’t aware if the specific airports were mentioned. I’m surprised with YAM ...

I emailed the regional office about 7 weeks ago and have not yet gotten a reply.

Thank you!

I understand TORA + Clearway = TODA. It just seems TODA is 17250' that's almost 6000' longer than the actual runway length. Just curious is it because 08 end has nothing but ocean(considering the water is the clearway) And what's the TODA like before the NOTAM? TODA is the takeoff runway available ...

It’s always good to have some insight into how you folks at the other end of the mic do your job.

Anytime

I'm not ATC, but to answer: In Cyyu I was cleared to CYYU "for an approach". So as I've been reminded, Class E but no ATC service to the ground. Just one small correction to this ... you DO have “ATC service to the ground” when IFR within a Class “E” CZ LIKE CYYU. Class “E” is very much c...

Cleared to a Specific approach -- assuming multiple approaches exist -- does their need to be Radar service OR a unit on the field, essentially? Nope. Using CYQI again, though there is the Digby radar close by, I'm not sure that it covers to the ground. Regardless, when the radar is off line for wh...

I'm not ATC, but to answer: In Cyyu I was cleared to CYYU "for an approach". So as I've been reminded, Class E but no ATC service to the ground. I now recall I've done the RNAV 32 into CYGD as well, and I believe I was "cleared out of controlled airspace". Ie., bye bye, good luc...

A geeky, academic question from a pilot perspective I suppose, but if you don’t mind, what determines the clearance you issue to an IFR flight inbound to an airport like we are talking about here? ... ie. an airport in Class “G” airspace which underlies Class “E” airspace. What determines if you is...

You must be YQM Centre.
Probably talked to you a few times on VHF.

Hopefully I didn't do anything stupid....

We need to find an IFR controller to ask what needs protecting for an aircraft leaving controlled airspace for an approach. You might be right. Maybe the first (or second) aircraft would be given alternate missed approach instructions. This is similar to CYCH which underlies controlled airspace (22...

I had a manager tell be that NavCan was losing $1500 per MINUTE. Thats about $2.1 million dollars per day. Pretty grim.

Don’t quote me but I recall they were about the start the last phase and didn’t because enough people took advantage. I was right beside someone who was waiting for that phase to go into action and was willing to take it but never got the offer. They did not offer Phases 4 or 5 to ATC because they ...

Hopefully this doesn't have the same kind of long term impact that the hiring freeze by the government in the late 80's had.

Perhaps this will help....
