GLOSSARY FOR PILOTS AND CONTROLLERS

The Canadian Airspace Review (CAR), a joint government/users project initiated in 1985, conducted an in-depth study of policies, rules and procedures relating to the management and operation of the Air Navigation System (ANS). As part of its findings, the CAR recommended the publication of a glossary of aeronautical terms and definitions used by Canadian pilots, controllers and flight service specialists, the basic objective of such a glossary being to contribute to the continued efficiency and safety of the air navigation system.

MULTIPLE LANDING CLEARANCES

Multiple landing clearances are currently in practice at Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International and Calgary International Airports with Vancouver, Ottawa/MacDonald-Cartier, and Montreal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airports in the final preparation stages. Implementation of multiple landing clearances at these individual sites will be announced by NOTAM.

EDMONTON / FT.McMURRAY ALTITUDE CORRIDOR

As part of our Oil patch Development Plan, Edmonton ACC has been examining ways to mitigate traffic congestion issues in the corridor between Ft. McMurray and Edmonton.

One problem we've identified is that a number of commonly used tracks in the corridor are very close to the 360/180 eastbound /westbound division specified for direction of flight under CARs 602.34, Cruising Altitudes & Flight Levels. This situation creates a high incidence of opposite direction, same altitude, conflicts that may have an impact on safety and efficiency of operations.

UNCONTROLLED AIRPORT PILOT PROCEDURES

Only a few airports in CZEG actually have a Terminal, a Tower and a Ground controller. Most airports are uncontrolled. Sometimes an Flight Service Station (called radio) is present at the airport. His role is very limited; he is not ATC and has no authority over a pilot action and no vectoring ability. His role is only to facilitate airplanes arriving and departing, by relaying traffic information between airplanes and advise of airport condition. He also relays clearance from ATC. This document helps understand what is required from a VFR or an IFR pilot flying to or from such airports. Please refer to the CFS or charts to know if the airport is indeed controlled or uncontrolled.
