  3. 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.

  4. Outline • Domestic Airspace • Altimeter Regions • Airspace Classes

  5. 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

  6. Domestic Airspace

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. 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
