Edmonton Airspace Redesign

[KnownIce]

The AIC outlining Edmonton's post-city centre airspace has been published effective May 29th.

While similar to the proposals sent out for comment last fall, NavCanada has slipped in a Mode C requirement to much of the new Class E airspace underneath the 7000' Class C ring.

Yep and of course no mention of parkland, which is awesome, even more aircraft to buzz through the mf without knowing its there

Edmonton airspace is ridiculous. Last night talking to for 30 minutes Terminal there was about 6 planes going into Parkland and dead quiet for YEG. I am hoping that they at least raise the airspace to 4600 above Parkland in the next airspace change so you can at least over fly the field at 1500'. I wonder what they will do when Parkland's approaches are published.

From what was outlined at a recent talk by NavCanada, I think the chance of raising the Class C above Parkland to be very unlikely. Approach paths for YEG are being tweaked in a way that is going to be putting more and more controlled traffic over Parkland. Their suggestion was to get clearance over the airport in Class C which obviously would be the most prudent thing to do. I pointed out that those who do not will be flying at the exact pattern height of Parkland as they skirt under the airspace. That did not seem to be a concern to NavCanada.

The fix for this it seems as advertised is that the back of the VTA is going to have suggested routing in and out of Parkland.

I have never owned a VTA.

Shouldn't be required. Look at Airdrie's proximity to YYC's approaches. It'll be almost directly under 17L and provides only 1500' AAE. Children, get out of daddy's way.
