  10. Victoria Water Airport ______________________________________________________________________________ SAFETY and NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES • Traffic Scheme • Aircraft “Runways” • Mandatory Reporting Points • Prior Permission Required • Emphasis On Bravo Operations • Runway Thresholds • Avoid Use Of Reverse Thrust

  11. Victoria Water Airport ______________________________________________________________________________ SAFETY and NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES (cont) • Vessel/Aircraft Distance Separation • Marine Vessel Lanes • Taxi-Way For Bravo • Operational Committees • Recurrent Pilot Training • Low-Tide Markers • Reduced Water Taxi Operations – Area Alpha

  12. Victoria Water Airport ______________________________________________________________________________ LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK • SAFETY Aeronautics Act • Canadian Aviation Regulations • TC Regional Office Oversight • NOISE Canadian Aviation Regulations • AIR QUALITY Canadian Aviation Regulations

  13. Victoria Water Airport ______________________________________________________________________________ NOISE and AIR QUALITY Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARS) Part V – Airworthiness Airworthiness Manual Chapter 516

  14. Victoria Water Airport ______________________________________________________________________________ All aircraft, both domestic and foreign, operating within Canada, must comply with the Noise and Engine Emissions Standards at the time of manufacturer and certification, as established by Annex 16, Volumes I and II, of the Convention of International Civil Aviation

  15. Victoria Water Airport ______________________________________________________________________________ Noise Abatement/Mitigation Considerations Transport Canada has worked with the air operators, the airport manager, and the community to introduce Noise Mitigation Procedures such as the preferred use of Bravo over Alpha, however safety must always come first

Transport Canada staff will investigate your observation and if confirmed, will take appropriate action. Should we require additional information, we will initiate contact with you, otherwise, there will be no further response on this matter.

  19. Victoria Water Airport Five Year Review (2003 - 2007) ______________________________________________________________________________ CONCLUSIONS • IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS: • The number of aircraft movements has increased. • Float Plane traffic is increasing; helicopter traffic is decreasing. • The number of CADORS reported incidents is minimal (14 over five years). • The number of founded enforcement actions resulting in sanctions is minimal. • The percent of take-offs in Alpha and Bravo are static. • On average, 70% of take offs are from Bravo. • Civil Aviation, Programs & Nav Canada continue to introduce improvements. • Air and Marine Operator consultation and engagement is a model. • Victoria Harbour is seen as a potential model for other harbours (ie: Nanaimo)

  20. Victoria Water Airport Five Year Review (2003 - 2007) ______________________________________________________________________________ CONCLUSIONS (Con’t) Mitigative actions for identified risks have proven effective. There are no new risk indicators that warrant a full Risk Assessment. Aviation operations are stable with a low number of incidents and minimal enforcement actions and noise complaints.

  21. Victoria Water Airport Five Year Review (2003 - 2007) ______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATIONS Continue Civil Aviation’s monitoring of & support to the Harbour’s operations & management. Continue enforcement action against alleged infractions. Continue focus on MAARS & CADORS Reports & follow-up. Continue encouragement of “good neighbour” and best practices ie: Use of Bravo Avoidance of reverse thrust Reduced rpm take-offs
