DME Arc in southern ontario

Post by ghazanhaider »

Looking at approach types to practise, I cannot find a DME Arc around Toronto (not counting YYZ of course).

Is there a DME Arc approach in southern ontario?

While we're at it, is there a LOC BAC course in around here too?

Every back course in Canada has been removed, as far as I know; the updated Localizer antennas NavCanada installs doesn't leak enough radiation to give a reliable indication on the back side of the approach. In fact I think Oshawa was one of the last and that went when they took the localizer away completely:

CYXU used to have a DME arc segment for the ILS/NDB RWY 15, one for the NDB RWY 33, and another for the VOR RWY 09 approach. You can still fly them VFR, for practice. Here's the RWY 15 plate, circa 2012.

I think you’ll need to go to North Bay for a DME arc. VOR/DME 26 has one.

Kingston (YGK) used to have a B/C on RWY 01 I believe. Not sure if it's still there.

It appears YYR still has a BC to RWY 26.
