If you want to add another Level of Service happening this year: Lloydminster FSS in Alberta will be getting one of the next generation AWOS from Nav Canada. They are called NCAWOS. I think YLL is the 4th out of around 85 of these NCAWOS that will be installed over the next few years. As a result we...

All manuals, supplements CFS & WAS, CAPS, maps are actually online right now, in adobe format, only to Nav Canada employees through the Nav Canada intranet. We received a memo a while ago, saying that the plan eventually is to let the general public have access to them, but at a price of course. Don...

I think it depends on which FIR you are in too. The Edmonton FIR just revised the inter-unit Edmonton ACC/Edmonton FIR FSS agreement. Scenario 1. Effective Sept. 15, when an aircraft has cancelled IFR with FSS, the FSS will call ACC and advise aircraft has cancelled IFR. Then the FSS shall assume re...

I worked FSS up in YZS for 13 months. For the life of me I can't really remember when. I want to say 1988 or 1989. I guess I had too good of a time up there. I seem to remember there are two wrecks that we triked out to. A C46 and a DC3. I also remeber people talking about a PA31 up there too. I'm s...

I'm not a computer geek either, but I right clicked the icon of the picture that's not there, clicked properties, copied, and then pasted in the address bar, and for some reason, voila.

Made up an excel file and Google Maps of water aerdromes taken from the Water Aerodrome Supplement. http://www.plews.ca/AirportsinCanada.htm

always had the info on excel file. To convert that into the Google Earth, took maybe 8-10 hours. My intention is to always keep it up to date with the current CFS. I tried to do runway data, but kept getting errors on the info stuff. Maybe someone can tell me why?

You're welcome. I took all the info from the CFS. I did notice some airports aren't exactly in the right spot. Not sure if the CFS is out a bit or Google Earth. It's only for fun anyways.

Made up a file of all airports and heliports in Canada, that can be viewed in Google Earth. Had a little spare time on my hands.

I wasn't the pilot. I work at the airport. This happened during the night. Why these geese fly at night I'll never know? The aircraft was in descent already landing, 4 miles out. I haven't spoken to the pilot personally.

CGBIT arriving CYLL at 7pm local yesterday. Went through a flock of geese. Two didn't make it. One is still kind of in the plane. http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/1668/img1474ui9.th.jpg http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/6393/img1475lg5.th.jpg http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/2133/img1476zm0.th.jp...
