Received word yesterday here in YYZ that the YUL ORD is delayed until further advised. That means CAATS in YYZ will be pushed back as well. Probably until after summer rush and we can all start the money train over again.

Lil, Could you please let me know which facility you tirelessly work at? I would like to save it for my final visit. That way I can save the best for last and see how real aviation is handled. I went camping and got wasted near the YSO VOR back in '92. Does that count on my task list? Anyway, here i...

Jeez! I think we all need a group hug here......... :goodman: Lil (can I call you Lil?), you seem a little out of sorts when someone makes a suggestion and/or comment about the benefits of a controlled environment versus Class G, aerodrome, etc. By your comments, does that mean that the president of...

True, true, PFG. Sureshot, I might be wrong, but I think that a lot of student pilots and their instructors prefer to do their IFR approaches at a controlled airport with radar coverage from the ACC. Below 3000, the radar signatures are not as reliable, so it would result in procedural separation (r...

PFG, You are right about not seeing that in your lifetime. NC is in the middle of a huge cost savings initiative. For example, instead of each unit having its own scheduling crew, all scheduling for the region's units will be done at the ACC. Regardless that they are severely short staffed and unabl...

An ILS at Oshawa????? I don't think that the powers that be (TC, NavCanada, etc.) are going to spend that kind of $$$ on an airport that generates about 10 000 movements a year (and that's with the controller with Parkinson's working the veeder counter.....) :butthead: I know you must be joking........

As far as those draconian flow times go....... :twisted: I think that a proper perspective needs to be maintained when considering how training flights impact IFR itinerant operations. The airlines which operate in the satellite airports around CYYZ (Westjet, Jazz, NorthWest/Mesaba, Georgian, Flight...

Just to clear up some misconceptions amongst the IFR/VFR training crowd: The ILS for 26 is not available to the GA for approaches. When it becomes online, it will be an approach available to Porter and possibly Jazz. This is similiar to the RNP/RNAV arrivals that Westjet uses into CYHM and CYXU. The...
