Thanks for the clarification David, I guess I'll end up calling TC for this
one. Where do you fly out from? I use Brampton (CNC3). Tx. Ross "David Megginson" wrote in message ... "RossCutlass" writes: [in response to U.S.-specific information about MSA] As always, a license to learn. As I just mentioned in the previous posting, you were (mostly) correct -- the MSA is operational in Canada. That can confuse U.S. pilots quite a bit. Be careful with any information you get from these groups, since most posters are American -- even though U.S. and Canadian procedures are *mostly* identical, it's the differences (like airspace, MSA, or VFR circuit-entry procedures) that can come and bite you. In some of the approaches you mentioned, such as the Sudbury NDB 22, the PT altitude is at or below the MSA for that quadrant (even if other quadrants have a lower MSA), so it makes sense. The ones I find strange are the ones where the PT altitude is higher than the MSA for the same quadrant -- for example, the Sudbury VOR 22 has an MSA of 2800 ft in the appropriate quadrants, but a PT altitude of 3500 ft. All the best, David |
