What is the history behind CAR 105.01(2)

Post by bcrosby »

Canadian Aviation Regulation 105.01(2) states:

"No person shall conduct an aerial sightseeing flight, or any portion of an aerial sightseeing flight, in the control zone of the Québec/Jean Lesage International Airport unless the flight commences at that airport."

I find it odd that this is a law, and not just a NOTAM.

Does anyone know why this was added to the CARs in 1998?

From the Canada Gazette:

The regulations are intended to prevent frequent low level flights for aerial sightseeing purposes over the built-up area within the Québec/Jean-Lesage International Airport control zone and to stop commercial passenger-carrying aerial sightseeing flights from using the Lac St-Augustin, Quebec aerodrome for either take-offs or landings. The prohibition of low level commercial aerial sightseeing flights within the entire Québec/JeanLesage International Airport control zone is intended to ensure that such operations do not relocate to another nearby lake and recommence sightseeing operations from that location.

They probably pushed it through using the "notwithstanding clause".

Ahhh thanks Sasquash!

For the record, all the juicy details can be found here:
http://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/1998/1998 ... -13202.pdf

Long story short: 25 Quebec City area mayors petitioned Transport Canada to shutdown the Lac St-Augustin water aerodrome by the year 2000 due to numerous noise complaints since the 60s. This kicked off the 5 year process to come up with a solution.
