VINTAGE WINGS OF CANADA FLYING DEMONSTRATION NOTAMS

 

 

 

A flying demonstration is to be held July 4^th 2010 at the Ottawa/Gatineau Airport (CYND) in Gatineau, Quebec. Special procedures have been established by NAV CANADA, the Airport Authorities and Vintage Wings of Canada because of the large volume of air traffic expected in the Gatineau area for the flying demonstration. NOTAMs must be checked for the latest information prior to operating in the area of the Ottawa/Gatineau Control Zone (CZ).

 

 

 

 

The flying demonstration will take place within and around the Gatineau Control Zone (Ottawa/Gatineau Aerodrome) from 1530Z to 1930Z (11:30 to 15:30 local time on July 4^th).

 

For further information on airspace closure, please check latest NOTAMs.

 

In order to avoid traffic congestion in the Gatineau Control Zone, a prior permission is required (PPR) for all aircraft to land at or depart from the Ottawa/Gatineau airport from 1000Z to 2300Z (6:00 to 19:00 local time) on July 4^th. Slot times will be assigned to all aircraft. Contact Vintage Wings of Canada at 819-635-2727 or e-mail c.goyette@videotron.ca to obtain PPR and slot time. Information is also available on the Vintage Wings of Canada Internet site: http://www.vintagewings.ca/

 

 

 

 

Flight planning and weather information is available through the Quebec Flight Information Center (FIC) directly, via the toll-free number 1-866-WXBRIEF (1-866-992-7433) or 1-866-541-4105. Pilot Information Kiosk (PIK) is also available at the airport in the airport terminal building in the departure lounge. The PIK provides aircraft operators convenient access to NAV CANADA’s leading edge Aviation Weather Web Site (AWWS), where real-time weather and flight information can be retrieved for effective flight planning. The PIK also offers toll-free telephone access to professional interpretive weather briefings provided by NAV CANADA flight service specialists.

 

 

 

 

 

VFR flights planning to fly within the Ottawa class C and terminal class D airspace:

 

In order to benefit from immediate and effective Air Traffic Control Radar service thereby minimizing delays and frequency congestion, it is strongly recommended that all VFR flights wishing to penetrate or operate within the Ottawa Class C and Terminal Class D airspace obtain a transponder code.

If you file a VFR flight plan or flight itinerary with NAV CANADA, a transponder code will be assigned to your flight and you will be given this code on first contact with ATC. If you do not file a VFR flight plan or flight itinerary with NAV CANADA, contact Montreal ACC at 866-VFR-CODE (866-837-2633) at least 30 minutes prior to your flight to obtain your transponder code.

 

 

 

Other VFR flights planning to remain clear of the Ottawa Class C and Terminal Class D, contact Gatineau Radio on 122.6MHz to get the airport information and a transponder code at least 30 NM from the airport. If you already have a transponder code assigned, advise Gatineau FSS. Approaching THURSO (VCGUY) or CHELSEA DAM (VCHEL) entry points (see arrival procedures below), contact Gatineau Radio on 122.3 MHz for airport advisory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

All other VFR aircraft upon entering the Ottawa/Gatineau Control Zone should maintain 90 knots (or less) if able and follow the circuit joining procedures described below.

 

 

VFR aircrafts should comply with the following procedures:

 

 

 

 

Proceed towards either of the entry points (see attached chart):

 

-       THURSO (VCGUY) for all aircraft arriving from the east.

-       CHELSEA DAM (VCHEL) for aircraft arriving from the west (including Rockliffe (CYRO) and Ottawa Int’l (CYOW)).

 

 

 

-          Cross the river towards Rockland (if arriving from the south east quadrant, before reaching THURSO (VCGUY) turn west towards CUMBERLAND (VCMBL) remaining south of the Ottawa River;

-          Follow the south shore of the Ottawa river to ORLEANS (VCORL);

-          Over ORLEANS (VCORL) proceed to join a crosswind overhead the runway at circuit altitude ( 1200 feet);

-          Join the right downwind with respect to traffic.

 

 

-          Fly eastbound to intercept the right downwind ;

-          Join the right downwind at circuit altitude ( 1200 feet).

 

-          Cross the river towards Rockland (if arriving from the south east quadrant, before reaching THURSO (VCGUY) turn west towards CUMBERLAND (VCMBL) remaining south of the Ottawa River;

-          Follow the south shore of the Ottawa river to ORLEANS (VCORL);

-          Over ORLEANS (VCORL) proceed to join a crosswind overhead the runway at circuit altitude ( 1200 feet);

-          Join the left downwind with respect to traffic.

 

 

-          Steer a ground track of 070 degrees magnetic to the power line;

-          Follow the power line eastwards to abeam DONALDSON LAKE or the gravel/sand pit ( 2 miles west of Buckingham);

-          Turn right to join the left downwind at circuit altitude ( 1200 feet).
