  1. TRANSPORT CANADARegulatory UpdatesAMCO 2010 Greg Cross Aerodromes & Air Navigation

  2. Airshow Accident Initial Report – Airshow Accident at CYYY • A pilot at low level has no control over his aircraft. • It narrowly misses a crowd gathered for the airshow and slams into four buildings. NOTE: One can only imagine the horror of the occupants inside those buildings.

  3. TWO PARTS • TP312 / CAR 322 Review Project • Airport Regulatory Plan

  4. TP312 / CAR 322 Review Project AMCO 2010

  5. Outline • Why update TP 312? • Overview of Proposed Changes • Next Steps

  6. Why update TP312? • Format / structure not consistent with the CARs. • Timeline - last published March 1993. • Consideration to international standards. • Facilitate introduction of new technologies (LEDs). • Harmonize with Canadian Airspace Design specifications. • Change of operation type (airport transfers).

  7. Overview of the Proposed Changes TP 312 - 5thEdition • General Changes • Standards onlydocument. • No recommendations. • No greenpages. • Advisory Circulars as needed.

  8. Overview of the Proposed Changes Definitions • Runway Strip - graded area portion is a stand alone definition, to clarify that the strip is for flight operations / overfly protection. • Graded Area- extracted from runway strip definition, to clarify that the graded area is for run-off veer-off protection. Added “under dry conditions” to clarify the “capable of supporting” statement in the current text. • Fixed by Function - clarifies which elements / installations are permitted to be in the runway strip.

  9. Overview of the Proposed Changes Definitions (cont.) • Runway types - runways intended for the operation of aircraft. Categorized as follows: • Non-Instrument Runway: intended for operation of aircraft using visual approach procedures, or instrument approach down to a Height Above Aerodrome (HAA)/ Height Above Threshold (HAT) no lower than 500 ft. • Non-precision Runway: served by visual aids and non-visual navigation aid that provides at least lateral guidance adequate for approach down to a HAA/ HAT lower than 500 ft but not lower than 250 ft. • Precision Runway: served by visual aids and non-visual navigation aid that provides lateral and vertical guidance adequate for approach procedures down to a HAT lower than 250 ft.

  10. Overview of the Proposed Changes Chapter 1 - General • Concept changed to reflect operational use (size of aircraft) rather than length of runway. • Updated Table 1-1 to reflect NEW LARGE AIRCRAFT. Runway length code removed.

  11. Overview of the Proposed Changes Chapter 2 – Aerodrome Data • Updated to reflect current publication requirements under ICAO Annexes 4 & 15 and needs of the instrument approach designers.

  12. Overview of the Proposed Changes Chapter 3 – Physical Charachteristics • Clarify underlying elements in current edition (e.g. Obstacle Free Zones, Inner Transitional). • Dimensions of strip, graded, hold positions adjusted. • Reduce parallel runway / taxiway separation by including an elevation adjustment formula. • Runway End Safety Area elevated as a standard to be consistent with the international level of safety.

  13. Overview of the Proposed Changes Chapter 4 – Obstacle Restriction & Removal • Segmented Approach Surfaces- overall maximum length of approach limiting surfaces could terminate at 5km (current is 15km). • Existing Precision Approach Surface would become an identification surface to capture obstacle information needed in support of instrument approach designs.

  14. Overview of the Proposed Changes Chapter 4(cont.) • Offset Approaches - Consistency with offset instrument approach design. Minimum straight segment length based on angle of intercept consistent with instrument approach design requirements. • Addition of Precision Obstacle Free Zone to support Canadian Airspace / Approach Design requirements.

  15. Overview of the Proposed Changes Chapter 4(cont.) • Outer Surface - Changed from limiting to identification surface. • Modified Obstacle Limiting Surfaces maintained for sites with difficult terrain in the vicinity of airport (transitional). Strip widens if transitional is steepened.

  16. Overview of the Proposed Changes Chapter 5 – Visual Aids for Navigation • Installation tolerances for visual aids introduced. • Minimum (e.g. not less than). • Maximum (e.g. no more than). • +/- factors (e.g. 15cm +/- 5cm stripe width, also an overall block tolerance). • Range (e.g. 6m – 9m).

  17. Overview of the Proposed Changes Chapter 5 (cont.) • New lighting systems introduced as options for non-precision / non-instrument operations. • SSALS, MALSR, MALSF, MALS, VAGS

  18. Overview of the Proposed Changes Chapter 8 – Equipment Installations & Operations • Elements for the low visibilityoperation plan clarified. • Elements overlapping with AAVC deleted. Chapter 9 – Emergency & Other Services • Lighting serviceability table introduced.

  19. Initial Plan • Regulatory Process to amend a CAR. • Cabinet Directive on Streamlining Regulations. • CARAC regulatory process. • 5 - 8 years. • More efficient process?

  20. TP312 - 5thEdition Benefits • Faster introduction to clients / users. • Reduced regulatory process. • Currently incorporated by reference (CAR 302.07). • No changes to CAR 302 (at this time). • Familiarity with structure / content of current document. • Eventual merging into CAR 322. • Facilitates the transition (writing, understanding, …).

  21. Phase IV – NPA Drafting • Drafting into 5thEdition (October 2009 – February 2011) • Translation. • Quality assurance of the French document. • Consultation with TC-Industry Group 312/322 (March 2010, February 2011). • Start of public consultations (Fall 2011). • CARAC (June 2012).

  22. Phase V – CARACConsultation Process • Provide a 4 month formal comment period. • CARAC to be scheduled after assessment of comments received. • Disposition of comments to be included in CARAC agenda.

  23. Phase VI – Justice Drafting& Gazette • Not applicable. • Standards in use... Objective: 2012 /2013

  25. Transport Canada’s Airport Regulatory Plan AMCO 2010

  26. Presentation Overview • Major Regulatory Initiatives • TP 312 5th Edition Review Project • Regulatory Review of the IFR Regulations (“Gate to Gate Concept”) • Change to Airport Certification Criteria (“Scheduled Service” • Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO) • Guidance Material Initiatives(Advisory Circulars)

  27. Regulatory Review of theIFR Regulations • Currently, CAR 602 specifies take-offs for all Canadian aircraft as being governed by visibility only, and landings by published DH / MDAs only. • Need to regulate landings as being governed by visibility as well as DH / MDAs.

  28. Future Changes to IFR Regulations • Development of IFR Regulatory Review Project, with “gate to gate” philosophy. • Project underway - first presentation to the CARAC Technical Committee anticipated at Spring 2011 meeting.

  29. Change to AirportCertification Criteria • Problem: term “Scheduled Service” in CARs Part VII (e.g., scheduled C-150 versus charter B-757). • Solution: remove “scheduled service” from Part III and determine another criteria for certification. • Next step: take Issue Paper to Civil Aviation Regulatory Committee (CARC).

  30. Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO) • Currently updating TP 143 Aircraft Designators (e.g. Stop Group Categories and airline designators). • ICAO Air Navigation Commission (ANC) decision on LAHSO. • Announcement at 2009 CARAC Plenary to harmonize with U.S. LAHSO.

  31. Advisory Circulars (2010/11) • Gravel Runways (California Bearing Ratio) • Designation of International Airports • Maintenance of Visual Aids • Photometric Measurements of Visual Aids • PAPI / ILS Harmonization • Aerodrome Aeronautical Information

  32. Advisory Circulars (continued) • Use of Engineered Material Arrestor Systems (EMAS). • WinterMaintenance (developed by CAC). • Procedures for the Development and Submission of ICAO Type A Charts. • Aerodrome RegistrationProcess. • Runway Incursions (TSB Watch List).
