The last update to the pdf link was Sept. 2005, not very current.

CCR: Looked over my posts and maybe I took things a little too personally. I mean no offense to you, I just don't like it when pilots assume that staffing shortage = controllers screwing around. A good day to you as well.

Was there only 3 aircraft involved? Or did the previous poster say that "he" only had 3 and all landed in YLW? Let's re-read the post. That doesn't mean only 3 aircraft were affected by flow restrictions. Saturday has nothing to do with being busy or slow, that's just a stupid comment and you know i...

I find it absolutely hilarious that an airline person is going to call someone out on customer service issues. I'm pretty sure the passengers on your plane would rather go at FL240 and be safe (and that's the service that we provide) then not at all. I'll remember this when below FL240 is the only s...

Where do I send my bill to for a flight that was 3 hours delayed because there was no crew? Why would an airline produce a schedule that it can't live up to?

fly in and out of there with a ATC voice that's of a NZ accent on a busy IMC day than try it when there is no NZ accent and tell me if the extra 15 miles you fly does or dosen't bother you. Everyons doing their job, just some do it better Ok, it doesn't bother me, at all. I don't care who your "fav...

the only person in YWG even worth talking to is Jerricho. the center guy's were probibly calling it that so they could have a nice peaceful nap (I realize you don't report the Wx but you can buy beer for those that do). keep the VFR out Do you realize, that as an "IFR" controller, an "IFR" day mean...

Jerricho: I thought manops only lets us assign speed in terms of indicated or mach number? Is assigning ground speed allowed? I haven't looked at manops in a while.

A crutch like 6 miles in trail spacing?

Unless Westjet started service to YIV etc, I can't imagine they chase too many PAG's, even if, the 737 would outclimb anything PAG flys, or 250kts should be enough, no?

I hope you're not teaching them to use speeds in the climb, particularily when it's a CRJ vs. the Westjet 737.

I believe cpl_atc said IFR/IFR midair. I think those examples are all VFR related.

No, we do not talk to each other. ATC (can't speak for FSS or Flight Planning) has nothing to do with Canpass or Canada Customs. Not too sure why an Edmonton controller was arranging US customs.

RNAV, you're missing the point because pilots like you aren't the problem. It's the one's that go direct to the FAF, and other such fixes, without asking first. It happens more often then you might think.

So zzjayca how is "you have to assign them a heading" any different then "no turns until..."? I'm essentially assigning them their present heading until clear of controlled. I also don't believe that I'm "reinforcing erroneous behaviour." That would be seeing it, saying nothing, and allowing it to h...

Whatever, but if a 4 degree turn will compromise sep, I wouldn't leave it to chance. I don't want to be in some manager's office having to justify myself, proving it's someone elses fault. Some pilots could make that turn as a correction navigating off radio navaid. Not taking you to task, just not ...

I agree with what you said, however, and I'm not telling you how to control in your airspace, but if it was me and a 4 degree turn posed a separation problem, I'd add a "no turns till in uncontrolled airspace/passing 17K" or something to that effect. CYA, if you know what I mean.

I didn't work in McDonald's but I did work in the restaurant industry as a server.

From someone else who used it, it was terrible, and I'm glad it's gone.

From a controller viewpoint, I'd say you can descend now and be level at any point between where you currently are and the fix to be level by.

Doc, 2 laughs in 1 day, awesome! You're so cool. Wasn't this calling the cops thing your tale to begin with?

cyyz, thanks for the laugh, I needed that.

Shouldn't be a problem, call the shift manager 983-8338 and explain who you are and they can set something up.

Jerricho, I can think of at least 4 of you, but it does still narrow it down at bit

flyinhigh: "My next question is than, you mentioned a 15 mile arc for vectoring, so when vectoring, is priority given to the aircraft that will make this arc first than and not the field?(thats what I got from reading the last post)" The 15 mile arc was just an example I was using. The 2 key pieces ...
