  2. Flying to Edmonton • VFR into a potentially busy Terminal environment • IFR controllers • Complicated airspace • Flight plans

  3. Getting into the Terminal • Get a VTA • Aeropubs • Phone:1-866-731-PUBS (7827) Email:aeropubs@navcanada.ca • Study your route and have a plan • File a flight plan • Reach out on the radio

  4. Who is EG Term? • Edmonton Terminal • VFR – 127.4 • International Arrivals (IFR) – 120.5 • International Departures (IFR) – 133.65 • Satellite Airports/IFR Training – 119.5 • Edmonton International Tower – 118.3 • Villeneuve Tower – 120.0

  5. Not for navigation

  6. Communication Box From 4600 to 2, 500 – Terminal on 127.4 (Class C) From the surface to 4600 – Villeneuve Tower on 120.0 (Class D)

  7. What needs to happen on initial contact? • Radar identify and verify altitude • Flight plan search • Transponder Code • Plot your planned route and determine potential conflicts • Provide conflict resolution if required/requested • Radar vectors, altitudes, traffic information

  8. What does the Terminal need to know? • Who are you calling? • Edmonton Terminal, Edmonton Tower, Villeneuve Tower • Who are you? • Aircraft type and ident • Where are you? • West of Parkland; north of Morinville • What is your altitude? • Level at 5500ft, climbing thru 5100ft

  9. VFR FLIGHT PLAN

  10. What is the Terminal going to tell you? “Edmonton Terminal, this is Cessna 170 FHJD, 1 mile west of Parkland at 3300 ft.” “HJD, Edmonton Terminal, squawk code 4202, Edmonton Altimeter 2992” or “HJD, Edmonton Terminal, squawk ident, Edmonton Altimeter 2992” or “HJD, Edmonton Terminal, radar identified, Edmonton Altimeter 2992” or “HJD, Edmonton Terminal, stand-by” “HJD is unfamiliar with the area, and requesting city tour at 5000” “HJD is heading to Villeneuve for full stop landing” “HJD cleared into Class C airspace, <altitude>, <routing>, <traffic information>

  11. What happens next? • Monitor progress and re-evaluate for potential conflicts • Provide traffic information or conflict resolution as required • VFR aircraft that report each other in sight are considered to be separated

  12. What happens next? • VFR aircraft that report each other in sight are considered to be separated

  13. What happens next? “HJD, radar service terminated, cleared enroute frequencies” “HJD, contact Villeneuve Tower, 120.0” • “proceed on course” does not mean change frequencies • Keep transponder code for round-robin flight or flights into Calgary TCA • For other destinations, keeping assigned code could help with SAR, if required.
