Programs and Proposals

Airport Programs

Some things the airport is in the process of doing, considering to be done or recently completed are:

Runway 06/24 Extension:

The extension of the main runway is still in progress and is expected to be complete in the summer of 2010.

Development of taxiways:

Extensions to the private hanger area taxiways are being carried out on “as-required” basis. Future taxiways would include a parallel taxiway for runway 06/24.

GPS Approach:

An application for a GPS approach to runways 06 and 24 were issued last year. It is hoped that approval will be had later this year.

Live internet weather and radio broadcast:

Airport weather conditions can be obtained via the airport website (www.flyhighriver.ca). Radio access (AWOS) from the air is in its final stages of testing. This is an advisory only and the pilot will still be responsible for verifying the stated conditions prior to landing or taking off.

As a growing airport, we welcome ideas on what can be done around the airport to increase its appeal, efficiency and sustainability.

Proposals

Dumpster Program

The High River Airport is looking for feedback for the implementation of a spring garbage dumpster program. It is proposed that for a small nominal contribution from aircraft owners and lease holders, a dumpster would be brought in to allow for spring clean-up. During a specified time, all could dump their aviation garbage and have it hauled away.

From the Flight School

The High River Regional Airport would like to welcome these people to the aviation community and congratulate them on their achievement.

Airport Etiquette

As the High River Regional Airport grows and its use increases, proper etiquette and courtesy become more vital in keeping the airport operating smoothly. If we follow some simple rules, we can eliminate many conflicts between users. You may get delayed a bit, but never more than maybe 5 minutes. Some things to remember:

- In and around the airport, always acknowledge anyone with a friendly greeting or wave.

- In the private hanger area, complete your walk around in the hanger, pulling your aircraft out only when you are ready to leave. This will keep the time you are blocking the taxiway to a minimum. If you see someone coming or waiting, when you are outside your airplane, consider pushing it back out of the way to allow the running airplane to pass. If you are in your airplane expedite your start and taxi to the ramp to complete your run-up. If you are taxiing in, pull past the “T” to allow the other airplane to pass.

Before taxiing into or out of the private hanger area, give a quick call on 123.0 to announce that you’re coming (the obtaining of a ground operating frequency is being investigated). This way the pilots can come to a quick agreement on who will move first. If you have not started you airplane yet, let anyone in and clear the way if possible.

When passing the person giving way, acknowledge his or her courtesy with a friendly wave.

- Run-up should be carried out at the east end of the ramp with your airplane prop wash directed away from any aircraft and structures.

- When ready to leave, announce your intentions prior to entering the taxiway and if someone is on final, consider waiting until they come onto the ramp. This ensures room for all sizes of aircraft to pass without conflict. Please note that in the CFS it is noted that the runway environment at the High River airport can only be occupied by one aircraft at a time including the turnaround bay at the end of 06. (Unless prior formation departure or landing has been agreed upon between pilots).

- At the gas pumps, once finished, please push your airplane clear as there may be someone else wanting to fuel their airplane, even if you think you will be there only five more minutes.

- As always, if you damage or break something, please let someone or the owner know. Accidents happen.

- Gate access. Please ensure the gates are closed after you, especially at night when there is little to no traffic. And if you disconnect the drive to the gate (this should never be done) make sure you re-engage it.

- Finally, Enjoy your flying.

A Section from the TC AIM and CAR’s in Review

Last month we reviewed pilot recurrancy requirements,

This month, we will review airport procedures:

Summary

This summary highlights the VFR procedures for aircraft arrivals and departures from controlled and uncontrolled airports. It is recommended to review the TC AIM and CAR’s for complete details. For IFR procedures, please refer to the appropriate sections in the TC AIM and CAR’s.

Arriving or departing to or from airports is a normally safe and easy procedure to which we all have trained during our learning to become pilots. If all follow and adhere to the procedures, any possible mishaps or miss understandings should be minimized. Information in airport operations can be found both in the Canadian Air Regulations CAR's and in the Aviation Information Manual TC AIM.

Specific to the High River Regional Airport; it must be clear the runway environment can only be occupied by one aircraft at any given time, this includes the turnaround bay at the end of runway 06 or the start of runway 24. The only time more than one aircraft can occupy this environment is during formation operations to which all pilots involved must be in agreement and capable of formation take-offs and landings.

Controlled Airports:

As pilot in command, you are solely responsible for the safe operation of your aircraft, this being said, you must comply with instructions from an air traffic controller unless these instructions pose an immediate danger to the continued safe operation of your airplane. If this condition exists the controller must be immediately notified.

Arrivals: - Note that the CFS or a VTA may have supplementary information on entering a controlled zone. Make sure you are familiar with these requirements prior to your arrival.

- If an ATIS is available, listen to it to determine the operations in place such as altimimeter setting, wind direction and runway in use.

- Make your initial call on the prescribed frequency (generally the tower frequency) five minutes prior to entering the control zone (type and ident). When response is made, inform them on what you want to do and with the ATIS designator. You must have permission to enter a controlled zone.

- Follow the instructions given by the controller. If no immediate instructions given, plan on a full procedure joining the downwind leg. Maintain a listening watch for more directions from the controller.

Departures: - If an ATIS is available, obtain the information transcribed.

- When ready to move, call ground control (it may be required to contact clearance delivery prior to ground control) if applicable, noting ready to move and what you are planning to do. If no ground control, call the tower.

- When ready to enter the runway environment, pull up to the Hold line and make a call on the tower frequency that you are ready to move.

- Follow the controller’s instructions.

- When clear of the control zone, change to the enroute frequency. It is not mandatory that a controller clear you from the control zone and if busy, it is not desired that you contact them. However it is recommended that you monitor the frequency until physically cleared of the zone by at least 10NM.

From 2010 TCAIM

Uncontrolled Airports:

As pilot in command, you are responsible for being aware of all aircraft movements in the vicinity of the airport you intend to use. When hearing other aircraft call, planning to utilize the same airport, respond with your position whether or not you believe there is no conflict. This only makes everyone’s awareness of what is happening more complete.

Arrivals: - consult the CFS for airport information and may yourself aware of any special requirements prior to your arrival

- Make your initial call on the published Mandatory Frequency where available when five minutes out. This of course means if you are in a faster flying aircraft, your call will be made from further out. Prior to changing to the MF, make a quick call on 126.7 with your intentions to make others in the area aware of what you plan to do.

- Cross over midfield at least 500 feet above circuit altitude. Circuit altitude is generally 1000 feet AGL

- Determine wind direction and join the down-wind leg midfield from the upwind (opposite) side of the airport. If there is a MF then you may also join straight-in to the downwind leg.

- Start you decent from circuit altitude upon turning base leg.

- It is recommended that when in the control zone of any airport, day or night, turn on your landing light to enhance visual acquiring of your airplane.

- When aircraft are already in the circuit and the direction of traffic has been determined, all joining aircraft shall use this direction of flight, unless a change in direction has been agreed upon by all pilots flying. It is the responsibility of the PIC to determine if this direction of flight is safe for the operation of his/her aircraft and if not, not to take off or land while the opposite direction traffic is in conflict. You must make your intentions perfectly clear and ensure the other pilot is aware of the direction conflict and makes room or time for you.

Departures: - Determine wind direction and direction of takeoff / runway

- Listen for other aircraft in the control zone and note there location

- Make radio call on the MF prior to taxiing

- Make radio call when entering the runway environment. Make sure there are no aircraft on final before entering the runway with a visual verification (someone may be coming in nordo).

- Make takeoff radio call

- Begin your take off run as soon as safely possible, noting slower aircraft in front of you that you may overtake and let them know. Do not linger, the runway is not the place to do checks that could have been done prior to taxiing.

- Remain on runway heading until 1000 feet AGL prior to turning enroute.

- Call clear of the control zone.

- When remaining in the circuit, make your cross wind turn when above 500 feet AGL and join downwind at 1000 feet AGL. Make your downwind call when midfield.

From 2010 TCAIM

From the TC AIM

As this is a very lengthy section, for details please refer to RAC section 4 of the TC AIM

Some highlights are:

4.4.8 Communications Failure - VFR

(a) CAR 602.138 specifies that where there is a two-way radio communication failure between the controlling air traffic control unit and a VFR aircraft while operating in Class B, Class C or Class D airspace, the pilot-in-command shall:

(i) leave the airspace

(A) where the airspace is a control zone, by landing at the aerodrome for which the control zone is established, and

(B) in any other case, by the shortest route;

(ii) where the aircraft is equipped with a transponder, set the transponder to Code 7600; and

(iii) inform an air traffic control unit as soon as possible of the actions taken pursuant to (i).

(b) Should the communications failure occur while operating outside of Class B, C, or D airspace precluding the pilot from obtaining the appropriate clearance to enter or establishing radio contact, and if no nearby suitable aerodrome is available, the pilot may enter the Class B, C or D airspace, continue under VFR, and shall carry out the remaining procedures listed in (a).

At uncontrolled aerodromes without a published MF or ATF, the common frequency for the broadcast of aircraft position and the intentions of pilots flying in the vicinity of that aerodrome is 123.2 MHz.

4.5.8 Aircraft Without Two-Way Radio

(NORDO/RONLY)

4.5.8.1 Prior Arrangements

Aircraft without a functioning two-way radio may operate on the manoeuvring area or within the MF area associated with an uncontrolled aerodrome, provided:

(a) an FSS, a CARS, or an RCO through which RAAS is provided, is located at the aerodrome and is operating at the time proposed for the operation; and

(b) prior arrangements have been made, by telephone or in person, with the appropriate agency, FSS, CARS, or in the case of a RAAS, the FSS.

NOTES: 1. Prior arrangements for an AAS location: phone the “emergency only” number listed in the CFS under COMM / RADIO for the FSS serving the AAS location.

2. Prior arrangements for a RAAS location: the FSS or FIC serving a RAAS location is shown in the CFS under COMM / RCO for the RAAS location.

(a) If an FSS serves the RAAS location: phone the“emergency only” number listed in the CFS under COMM / RADIO for the FSS serving the RAAS location; or

(b) If an FIC serves the RAAS location: phone the number listed in the CFS under FLT PLAN / FIC for the RAAS location. When a pilot-in-command intends to operate at an uncontrolled aerodrome for which an MF has been designated, the pilot in- command shall ascertain by visual observations that no other aircraft or vehicle is likely to come into conflict with the aircraft during takeoff or landing. Pilots of NORDO/RONLY aircraft must be extremely vigilant when operating at either controlled or uncontrolled aerodromes and ensure through prior arrangements that other aircraft and vehicles will be informed of their presence within the area.

4.5.8.2 Traffic Circuits - NORDO/RONLY

When approaching an aerodrome, pilots of NORDO/RONLY aircraft shall enter the circuit as illustrated in Figure 4.6 and ensure that the aircraft completes at least two sides of a rectangular circuit before turning on to the final approach path.

4.5.8.3 RONLY

When operating an aircraft equipped with a VHF receiver capable of receiving transmissions on the MF, pilots shall maintain a listening watch on the MF when operating on the manoeuvring area or within the MF area.

From the CAR’s
