During parallel ops, traffic departing 35L or 17R is normally given the departure west frequency and traffic departing 35R or 17L is normally given the departure east frequency. Similarly, traffic arriving from west will normally land on the west runway (35L/17R...

"YYC supposedly has the LOC monitor position, something that is required for independent sim approaches, but somehow i doubt it will be used much, especially with their staffing situation as described above." We are using the monitor position for independents, sporadically as required, but it works ...

Hello Co-Joe, A new piece of pavement will not fix all of our woes but will go along way in reducing airborne delays and queues to depart. The next Terminal course starts in September (again) and there will be a yearly course for the foreseeable future. Growing pains? Sure, some. Both units, Tower a...

After the inital familiarization period in which we hope to get everyone up to speed with all aspects of dependant and independant ops, we are planning on using the ILS monitor on an as required basis and our staffing numbers have gone up.

Yes our staffing #'s are going up, the ILS monitor position is built and we are being trained on how to do it.

That is an Airport Authority issue. I haven't heard anything either way.

Aircraft must to be separated by 1000' until "established", then depending on the mode, a minimum 2 mile stagger will be run, or if an ILS monitor is in place the stagger is not required.

RAPT is a Calgary Airport authority program. I am not sure what its future will be with the new runway opening in May/June.
It did (does), at times, help to spread demand out a bit but we still use TMU(W) to manage excess demand over capacity...today will be a prime example of that.

Yup

Actually, the "critical design aircraft" is the A380, operating at an airport elevation of 3500' ASL on a hot summer day etc.

Sure they can. I am one, but I am not sure of the status of the "experienced controller" program.
Best if you contact the company through their http://takecharge.navcanada.ca/en/ page.
PM me if you have any specific questions.

Just double checked the times with the updated info and nothing changed from my post above.

Snowbirds should arrive CYYC 10:30 Fri am, Snowbird 10 and 11 about an hour and a half before that. Snowbird flypast ( Friday) 12:55 to 13:10, 3 passes, then the Skyhawks do their thing. Snowbirds are to leave CYYC later on Friday, time unknown. 2 x Hornets arrive CYYC 1600ish Thursday and fly over ...

If you are not on a flight plan and wish to enter Calgary's class C, VFR, you have to call to get a transponder code as well.

In the US I would call up approach with my location and ask to transit the airspace in the direction I wanted to go. I never got turned down in any of the places I asked (Houston, Dallas, and OKC for example) although occasionally I was asked to be quite low, follow a VFR corridor, or occasionally s...

Or email the experienced controller folks from this link and see what they have to say

When I did mine, it was rolled over from govt department to govt department, ie DND to Transport.
I'm not sure what they do now.
I'll post if I find anything out.

Go ahead your question.

The 4300' turn restriction at CYYC is not noise abatement.
