Re: New digital tower in Kingston
As long as they don't replace human towers with remote towers. NavCanada advised all employees today that Hamilton is going to be the first remote tower, scheduled to open in 2028. No other towers will be announced until Hamilton-remote is fully operational and tested. My thoughts go out to those c...

Re: CAT 1 Medical Question (Thyroid Medication)
Appreciate the responses! I'll reach out to my CAME next week. I'll try and remember to write back here with my findings so anyone else in a similar boat knows what the process is.

CAT 1 Medical Question (Thyroid Medication)
I've had a CAT 1 for a few years and have never been on prescription medication. That may change soon though as I have a thyroid condition. TC is aware of the condition, but so far I haven't required any medication or treatment. For those who started a new prescription, what is the process? Do you c...

Re: Question for ATC's with CAT 1 Medical
Ok that's what I thought, and it jives with what the Ontario TC office told me. The Prairie office had a different opinion and they obviously made a mistake.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

Re: Question for ATC's with CAT 1 Medical
Short answer…you only need a CAT I A quick search and you can find the official wording from TC that says a CAT I holder can exercise the privileges of all other categories. I personally hold a CAT I and have never held a CAT II and have been a controller and pilot for over 30 years. Thanks for the...

Question for ATC's with CAT 1 Medical
I'm getting some conflicting information from two separate TC offices, and so I have a question for any ATC's out there that also have a CAT 1 medical. I just turned 40 years old, so a CAT 1 and CAT 2 are both valid for 12 months. I also currently only have a CAT 1 medical as my CAME has stated that...

Re: Lyrica and CAT 1 Medical
Still interested to see if there's anyone on here who is on Lyrica and can hold a CAT 1 medical. My medical is in a few weeks and so any information anyone might have would be really helpful.
If I posted this in the wrong section, please let me know and I'll try and find the right forum.
Thanks.

Lyrica and CAT 1 Medical
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can provide some information regarding taking Lyrica and getting a CAT 1 medical. I've had localized neuropathic pain for the past year, with no identifiable cause (no diabetes, X-ray, MRI, etc showed no abnormalities, etc). My family doctor suggested that I take Lyri...
