Kamloops Radio routinely help sort out traffic, VFR-VFR and VFR-IFR. They don't have to but they do. Laura, Just a correction to your comment above. The reason why we at CYKA radio (and Sumspot Radio) "routinely help sort out traffic" is because we HAVE to. Traffic management is a primary function ...

Just a few unofficial tips: For airport notams, enter the code of the airport without any radius and it will show all notams associated with the airport. All notams have a radius of action depending on the type so for example a VOR that's 20 nm away will show. If you are looking for notams for a fli...

Content que tu aies utilisé nos services !

Salut hongschoi00, Bien que cela peut être fait via YUL CODE, nous offrons le même service au FIC de Québec. En prime, on peut te donner un exposé météo / notam et déposer un plan de vol par la même occasion si voulu. Ou juste le code. Et on s'occupe d'obtenir l'approbation pour le circuit. P.S. Pas...

I really like CFPS, but there is one dumb thing. The master flight plan list I made of 10 or so flights I often fly populates Navcanada's computer with 10 master flight plans. Multiply that by the half dozen pilots at out company using it and when someone phones in a flight plan the FIC or ACC has ...

Hello,

My initial posting was a northern station with housing provided by Nav and my dog was allowed, as long as the house was returned in good condition (obviously). She loved the -30 degrees

I'm not sure if it's national or just local policy though.

FROIN is still used by human observers when frost is observed on the indicator. ICG being reported by AUTO stations means there is icing detected on the icing sensor. Nothing to do with icing on the runway or in clouds. Most likely when freezing precipitations occur. I'm not sure if it codes ICG whe...

I work at a FIC, so if you have questions later on, you can always PM me Good luck.

Hey guys What did you do before becoming a FSS (or an ATC)? Have you been to university? How is the training for ATC compared with university? FSS was my first real job. I was still in cegep when I got accepted. I completed some university studies at home in the last years "just in case". ATC/FSS t...

Not my thread but could anyone let me know realisticly how long you should expect to wait before getting to move back south from a northern FSS posting? It used to be 2-3 years, then it increased due to the lack of training. It took me 8 years to get to somewhere south after a few postings in the T...

I was like you when I started with Nav. I wanted to go VFR but I accepted a FSS offer instead. I don't regret it today. It's a different job but there are similarities and a lot of things that you wouldn't see otherwise. There is a strong need for staffing in the Montreal FIR for FSS, you will be we...

Salut ! Je peux répondre à certaines questions. 3. Oui il y a un programme de recommandation par les gestionnaires à l'interne. Tu dois donc te démarquer. 4. Horaires FSS varient d'un endroit à l'autre. Certaines stations dans le nord sont sur rotations (3 semaines on, 3 semaines off - quarts de 12h...

Bonjour Florence,

Je suis FSS depuis plus de 4 ans maintenant, si tu as des questions particulières, n'hésite pas à m'envoyer un mp!

No, the appropriate abbreviation is HIER.

Actually since last main synoptic hour (06,12,18,00z). Snowfall Remarks. The increasing depth of newly-fallen snow, since the time of the last main synoptic report, shall be reported in the Remarks section of an METAR report by means of a /Sss/ group. The letter “S” identifies the precipitation as s...

Here in CYGL we have the same model. A lot of room! We are also getting Excds next month.

I can't believe this discussion has not yet turned into bitching about the French language and has remained civilised. Wow!

Cool, merci! Je le partage, ça montre bien notre job aux gens.
