![]() The minimum runway lighting required for night operations at an airport is two parallel lines of fixed white lights visible for two miles and which marks the landing and takeoff areas. Where a runway at an airport does not have a prepared landing surface, the takeoff and landing area will be delineated by international orange and white markers at an aerodrome, the same area will be shown by international orange markers (no white). Yellow lines track the centre of taxiways, and broad double yellow lines (one solid, and one dashed) indicate the “hold-short” positions.Ī closed runway or taxiway is indicated by a white or yellow “X” that is 20 ft. Aprons (aircraft loading and servicing areas) are numbered. ![]() Taxiways are lettered (Alpha for A, Bravo for B, etc.). (Unless otherwise indicated, reference in this manual to “airports” will generically imply both certified airports and non-certified aerodromes.)Īirport References from Canada Flight Supplement Runways and TaxiwaysĪs is indicated in the diagram above, runways are numbered in accordance with magnetic track in Southern Domestic Airspace (as opposed to true track in the Northern Domestic Airspace 2), the number is rounded to the nearest 10° increment and the third digit is dropped (340° equals 34). 1 Incidentally, the Canada Flight Supplement is essentially a directory of all published airports in Canada and describes the physically layout of runways and taxiways, radio frequencies, etc.-information that is crucial for the pilot to refer to when flying to an airport or aerodrome. The pilot of an aircraft must report the aircraft’s landing to the operator of the airport (or the operator’s representative), listed in the Canada Flight Supplement. Two types of airports exist in Canada: an aerodrome: which is “any area of land or water designed for arrival, departure, and movement of aircraft,” and an airport, which is an aerodrome that is certified by Transport Canada for either public or private use. While this section focuses on the Canadian Aviation Regulations, it also includes reference to flight operation procedures and requirements, as well as human factor elements, that are included in the Study Guide for the PSTAR examination. This section is designed to prepare students for Transport Canada as PSTAR examination, which is required by student pilots before they can complete their first solo flight.
