Re: Question on Communication
Thank you so much @Aviatard. I did get some idea and understand what each is used for, but not enough to understand when to use what? If you could clarify that for me, I would highly appreciate it.

The Canada Flight Supplement will tell you for each airport which type applies.
Note, for example, that an airport can have a tower during the day (class C or D airspace) but be MF at night (class E).
