 The
Canada Flight Supplement is a joint civil/military
publication. It contains information on Canadian and North
Atlantic aerodromes and is used as a reference for the
planning and safe conduct of air operations.
The publication contains the following sections:
- General: Tables, legends and associated
information pertinent to interpretation of the
supplement.
- Aerodrome Directory: Data and sketches for
Canadian aerodromes and heliports and selected aerodromes
in the North Atlantic.
- Planning: Information for flight planning,
characteristics of airspace, chart updating, flight
restrictions, IFR routes, airway intersections and chart
distributors.
- Radio Navigation and Communications: Data for
radio navigation aids and communication facilities.
- Military: Flight procedures and data,
including sections on procedures for flight in the USA,
North Atlantic and Alaska, air/ground communications and
military training routes/areas.
- Emergency: Emergency procedures.
The Canada Flight Supplement, measuring 5 ¼ by 8
¼ inches, is updated every 56 days and is available
in English or a bilingual format. Data for the province of
Quebec and the National Capital Region are presented in
French in the bilingual edition.
Currently, Section B, “Aerodrome/Facility Directory,” includes aerodrome information that does not always meet International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards. Beginning with the 10 May 2007 or 5 July 2007 issue, NAV CANADA will be publishing a CFS that complies with the ICAO standards required for international, regularly-used aerodromes. The CFS will introduce six groupings for the aerodromes listed in Section B. Each aerodrome has been assigned to a grouping according to its role in the Air Navigation System (ANS) and related aeronautical information will be collected and published accordingly. For some aerodromes, data may not be available or may not be applicable. In such cases, where data is not available, “NIL” will appear in the related field and for data that is not applicable “N/A” will appear. The six aerodrome groupings are defined below:
|
|
- Primary Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) (IFR1)
|
• All permanent aerodromes with instrument approach procedures (IAPs) (public or restricted) with runways 6,000 ft. or greater.
• Domestic/Trans-border traffic.
|
|
• All permanent aerodromes/heliports with IAPs (public or restricted) with runways less than 6,000 ft.
• Temporary/Seasonal/WAD that meet IFR2 criteria.
• Domestic/Trans-border traffic.
|
- Visual Flight Rules (VFR)
|
• All registered land aerodromes without instrument procedures.
• Temporary/Seasonal aerodromes that meet VFR criteria.
|
|
|
|
• Aerodromes with Department of National Defence (DND) as the only operator will be classified as military. Where an aerodrome has multiple operators (DND and civilian) it will be classified in accordance with one of the civilian groupings.
