I reject your assessment and the data supports that there are more LOS incidents in Canada as a ratio to traffic volume. Canada is 1/10th of the volume of airline traffic the US sees and a fraction of the GA and all in a much much larger area with virtually no traffic density. We have very few larg...

bring in military terminal controllers to run Vancouver centre and terminal. See how fast the other centres shape up. Haha, and you thought traffic was moving slowing the way it is now? It would take them a couple years to get up to speed and many of them wouldn't qualify. You have no fuckin clue w...

NavCanada and all the other COMMUNIST Corporations need to pay back-pay, and damages to all the Employee's that were either FIRED or forced to RETIRE rather than take an EXPERIMENTAL DNA INJECTION........It is being proven over and over again the terrible risk to health the VAXX was and STILL IS......

Adding system capacity with ADS-B, but can't realize that capacity due to the controller shortage. :rolleyes: ADS/B has changed the game in northern airspace and over the ocean which is where the biggest gains were to be made. That is where the capacity was always going to be increased with adsb Do...

Hello, Does anyone know if there is a good time/Altitude/Anything else to get cleared through YUL Terminal VFR? I fly Ottawa - Maritimes VFR often and have about a 40% success rate for getting through. This is at maybe 140 KTAS at either 8500 or 9500. Flying north or south isn't the end of the worl...

What was going on in the YUL FIR Tuesday afternoon? It didn't sound like a controller staffing thing, but certainly was a WTF moment. Anyone with more details? We had an equipment failure. Basically all our flight data and flight progress strips went down. It also had an impact on our main flight d...

Thanks for the input! Have you got experience living in any of those locations? I’m always curious if one is better than the other, or what family life would be like there etc. The surroundings of Montreal are quite nice. Love the ski hills and mountains vs concrete jungle as others have said. Yeah...

Do you speak French? It's been in local papers recently that the English population is steadily and significantly declining outside of Montreal, in the areas you mentioned. I don't know to what level- I haven't spent much time outside of Montreal, so I personally don't know to what level of impact ...

I mirror Dan’s sentiment in regards to appreciating a professional back and forth dialogue. Any word in regard as to how those modifications will impact current approches and or future operations out of YHU with the expansion plans there being in the works? Thanks! TPC So as of today « upgrading » ...

Wow ! You're lucky. I am not complaining, those things happen, and ATC is doing a good job, but I am based in YUL and it happened to me a few times. Of course it happens, everyone makes mistakes. It can be pretty difficult to vector aircraft sometimes with strong winds, frequency congestion etc… Al...

How is a rate one turn—or a max 30 degree bank turn—different on different aircraft if the speeds are the same? The only possible difference is roll rate.. which is usually dampened as well by autopilot or pilots who want to be nice to their passengers. After speaking with A220 pilots, I was told t...

Braun, I appreciate your input from the ATC side. It's really informative. Guys can just complain all the time without questioning why things are happening. We chatted a few years ago about the limitations at YUL when I questioned the repeating pattern of last minute step descent clearances from se...

YVR generally gives really good vectors, wait till you fly to yul and they seem to think a jet can intercept a localizer at 90 degrees at 200 kts with a tailwind. Blowing 5 miles through the loc is common there. That’s weird I work that airspace and rarely see that. Have dates and times for me? We ...

It's unlikely it will lead to errors because it's meaningless. I find it a bad precedence to start bloating the frequency with meaningless phrases. It could be distracting and indirectly lead to other mistakes but I admit that chance is likely rather small. Just a bad direction to go in I think. I ...

I get your point and would usually err on the side of using standardized phraseology but in this case I do not recall ever hearing or hearing of the usage of ''balance unchanged'' leading to confusion or any sort of nav error.

Yeah but that number is probably skewed by the number of overflights and transoceanic we handle in area control centres vs how few towered airports and terminal control areas we have. It's like Canadian highways.. they may not be the widest, but they certainly are the longest! Actually no. The busi...

Pre-Covid they had their quirks but were generally reasonable with a few experienced folks that would run a squeeze play when they knew it would work. Now they seem like they're all trainees. I have a few questions that I'd appreciate a serious answer to, is there an e-mail address that NavCanada h...
