Old versions of the Canadian Flight Supplement

Post by Mech1949 »

Good afternoon,

I am new to the forum. I am looking to track down older versions of the Canadian Flight Supplement or it's predecessors. I am employed with Air Force History and Heritage at 1 Canadian Air Division in Winnipeg, Manitoba and am trying to piece together locations, changes to and the histories of some of the abandoned military aerodromes in Canada. I presently have access to the current CFS, one from 2001 and a couple of military publications dating back to the 1940's but there is a huge gap in between. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

If memory serves me right... you should also be looking for the Canadian A.I.P.

Used to come in a white and red ringed binder. I do believe that used to be the CFS before CFS was even a thing. I have one but no idea where to verify. Here is an image off the net though:

There was a thread on here several years ago where someone posted a bunch of old approach plates from the 50’s (if I remember correctly). I’m sure with some digging you could find it. There was one of the airport diagram for YQX which had a runway that was 600’ wide at the time.

During WWII runway 09/27 was 1000 ft wide in Gander. There is one picture in particular that shows 116 B17’s parked alongside the runway on their way across.

I still have the all knowing AIP on the shelf. Totally up to tade as of the end of the run. No vintage CFS's though. Used to use old charts to wrap Christmas presents so they're all gone too.

This is the extract from the 1942 RCAF - Pilots Manual of aerodromes and Seaplane Bases for Gander. 3 x 600' wide runways and 1 x 1200' wide runways.

What year was that AIP published? I would love to see that document.
