Introduction
• Canadian airspace is divided into many regions and areas.
• Pilots must know where these areas are, and what the rules and procedures for them are.
Outline
• Domestic Airspace• Altimeter Regions• Airspace Classes
Domestic Airspace• Canadian Domestic Airspace (CDA)
– All airspace over Canadian land mass, Canadian Arctic and Archipelago and certain areas over high seas
• Northern Domestic Airspace (NDA)– Close to magnetic north pole– Compass unreliable, therefore true tracks are used
• Southern Domestic Airspace (SDA)– Most of settled Canada in SDA– Magnetic tracks are used
Domestic Airspace
Altimeter Regions
• Altimeter Setting Region– Before take-off, landing and during flight, pilot will
set altimeter to nearest aerodrome– If no altimeter setting, set to elevation– Includes all airspace in SDA below 18,000 ft
• Standard Pressure Region– Altimeter set to 29.92’ Hg– Includes all airspace in NDA– Includes all airspace in SDA above 18,000 ft
Airspace• High Level Airspace
– All airspace 18,000 feet and above– Usually controlled airspace
• Low Level Airspace– All airspace below 18,000– May be controlled or uncontrolled
• Built-Up Areas– Aircraft must stay at least 1000 ft over highest obstacle within 2000
ft radius
• Controlled Airspace– Where an Air Traffic Control service is provided
Airspace Classes• Class A
– Controlled, only IFR permitted– Includes all controlled airspace between 18,000 ft and FL 600
• Class B– Controlled for VFR and IFR– Includes all airspace between 12,500 ft and 18,000 ft
• Class C– Controlled for VFR and IFR– VFR must have clearance to enter, separation may be provided– Becomes Class E when ATC closed
• Class D– Controlled for VFR and IFR– VFR must communicate with tower, separation not provided– Becomes Class E when ATC closed
Airspace Classes• Class E
– Controlled for IFR– Uncontrolled for VFR
• Class F - Advisory– Aircraft can enter with caution, but encouraged not to– Used for gliding, skydiving, etc
• Class F - Restricted– Aircraft must not enter without permission– Used for air shows, military training etc
• Class G– Uncontrolled airspace
