Re: ATC Lifestyle Questions
Nav Canada pays your move. I have moved twice on Nav Can's dime and the expenses were never treated as a taxable benefit.

Re: Do you need a Cat 2 Medical for every position?
All IFR and tower controllers require a Cat 2 (or 1) medical. My understanding is FSS and FIC specialists do not require a medical. FSS (AAS and FIC) do require a medical. Every 3 yrs up to 40 and every 2 years after. Not as stringent as ATC (licensing and certification requirement differences). Re...

Re: Training Logistics Winnipeg -> Moncton FSS
FSS training is all regionalized. However, they have been sending some trainees to other regions who need them. Short staffed or to release people who have won bids to transfer to other regions. For instance, send a trainee who graduates out of YVR FIR to YWG FIR in order to release someone who has ...

Re: FSS pay scales
Just wanted to add a bit more info. The supervisors all sites are one level higher than those working the radios. The E site supervisors (F) scale is $72,140- $91,148 as well as some non op positions. Top non op position (G) $79,525-$101,684. Also, on May 1st 2016, you can add 2.5% to all pay scales.

Re: Aircraft landing without other aircraft down and clear.
The term broadcast may not have importance or meaning to some of you but it certainly means something to ATS. This is the ATS Forum after all.

Re: Aircraft landing without other aircraft down and clear.
The difference Rookie is that I talk on the radio for a living and take it seriously. When I pointed out your use of the word broadcast, all you had to say was that you didn't mean to use it in that context. Instead, you got mad and felt sorry for yourself and then blamed me for your ignorance. Unde...

I figured you were having trouble. Ask any other pilot, they can help.

Re: Aircraft landing without other aircraft down and clear.
You answered your own question. If you state the name of the ground station, you are directing communications, not broadcasting.

Re: Aircraft landing without other aircraft down and clear.
If you start your communications by saying "Boundry Bay Tower...." you're directing communications. If it's "Boundry Bay Traffic...." you're broadcasting. Look, I just saved you time. No need to get back to me or think about it anymore.

I'm pretty sure you don't Marconi. Pretty distinct difference in CAR's between a traffic broadcast and directing communications.

Re: Aircraft landing without other aircraft down and clear.
Your radio broaddcasts, you direct communications to the tower. That's the difference.

Re: Aircraft landing without other aircraft down and clear.
You used the term broadcast, not me. "Broadcasting" is used in MF's without a ground station or an ATF. It's specific in the CAR's reference. If you don't understand the terms you are using and somebody points out what the term means, or you realize you have used it wrong, use it as a learning exper...
