Canadian Airspace is divided into two fundamental areas: Northern Domestic Airspace (NDA) and Southern Domestic Airspace (SDA). The division has a few important rules: While the proper cruising altitude in the SDA is based on magnetic track, cruising altitude in the NDA is based on true track(discussed below). Additionally, runway headings are also...
For altimeter use, the Southern Domestic Airspace is referred to as the Altimeter Setting Regionwhere the altimeter must be continually set to the nearest reported altimeter setting. Here are the rules that apply to the Altimeter Setting Region: 1. Before takeoff, the altimeter must be set to the airport reported setting, or, if not available, the ...
Canadian Airspace is composed of seven Flight Information Regions (FIRs). Their function is to provide flight information and alerting services within their defined boundaries. With respect to IFR flight, however, the immediate role of FIRs is the administration of Area Control Centres. Thus while the Vancouver Area Control Centreoversees all IFR f...
Canadian Airspace is further divided into seven classes, each providing individual rules of access, flight regulations, and Air Traffic Control (ATC) responsibility. The characteristic of the seven classes may be summarised as follows:
Control Zones surround specified airports indicated on charts that have a control tower. They usually have a 7 NM (nautical mile) radius and extend from the surface to 3000’ AAE (above aerodrome elevation). The may be designated Class B, C, D or E airspace. Control Zones are the only form of controlled airspace that extend to the ground.
There are five Mountainous Areas in Canada as depicted above. They are specifically defined in the Designated Airspace Handbook. Except where provided by specified minimum IFR altitudes published on charts and IFR approach and departure plates (e.g., minimum vectoring attitudes, MOCAs, transition altitudes, 100 NM safe altitudes, MSAs, and AMAs),5 ...
1Defined on charts. 2The 700’ base can be remembered here as the word “transit” has 7 letters—thank Henry Methorst for that one. 3 A third condition for Class F IFR operations, not discussed here, concerns an Altitude Reservation Approval. See AIP RAC 2.8.6 for information on this. 4These are two types of approach clearances issued to an IFR aircra...

Sep 27, 2021 · The top one is the MEA still, 4,500 feet, the middle one in blue is called the GNSS MEA or GPS MEA more commonly, this is the minimum enroute altitude you’re allowed to fly if you have an approved GPS on board. And the lower altitude with the asterisk is still the MOCA.
Feb 2, 2022 · The MIA in the area outlined in pink is 11,000 MSL, like the airway. However, although the MEA continues at 11,000 feet all the way to NAMBE, the MIA drops to 9800 feet when we cross TELOY (yellow area). That gives us the potential ability to descend 1200 feet with ATC concurrence.

Enroute Low and High Altitude charts provide aeronautical information for instrument navigation in the low and high airway structure of the Canadian Domestic Airspace, the airspace over foreign territory and international waters in which Canada accepts responsibility for the provision of air traffic services and other areas required for military use.
Feb 17, 2023 · When flying IFR along airways, you have to adhere to minimum altitudes, such as the minimum enroute or minimum obstruction clearance altitude. Here, on Victor 172, if we’re flying westbound, we initially have a minimum enroute altitude of 3,500 feet. After the Linde fix, the MEA is higher at 5,500.
Purpose Since the last Canadian Airway Focus Group (CAFG) guidelines were published in 2013, the published airway management literature has expanded substantially. The CAFG therefore re-convened to examine this literature and update practice recommendations. This second of two articles addresses airway evaluation, decision-making, and safe implementation of an airway management strategy when ...
