Quite possible, yes. Although I can't imagine too many scenarios where you'd be vectored that far out and be at 3000ft. If that were the case, it'd probably be too IFR of a day for GA traffic. My $.02

PlanePaully: most likely there won’t be a RA. YYZ 24L/R traffic doesn’t begin descent below 3000 til about 7-8 miles final, well past KZ. The 1000 ft vertical separation needed is for wake turbulence. It is assumed that KZ circuit traffic is of the light weight category while YYZ 24L/R ILS traffic would be medium-heavy.

Re: Buttonville Tower set to close in July!
Thanks for the explanation. I have been told by a number of people that Pearson 23/24 landing traffic regularly crosses over CYKZ at 3000. Nice to know that there is generally a bigger buffer than that between us and them.yeah yeah wrote: ↑Mon Nov 19, 2018 8:11 am PlanePaully: most likely there won’t be a RA.

Students train at non tower equipped airports all the time. It will just require instructors to modify the training to suit the new reality.
If the student can't master control tower procedures, they don't go solo. If the student can't master uncontrolled airport procedures, they don't go solo. It's just an adaptation, nothing else.
