Carefull of NOTAMS on NavCanada website

"Ross Magnaldo" writes:

Filed and flew IFR flight plan from CNC3 to CNY3.
Checked the notams that the NAVCANADA website called up for the route and
everything seemed fine. Checked with FSS - no additional notams

Only once up in the air did ATC advise me of a NOTAM indicating VOR YEE U/S.

The problem is that without an IFR GPS the only approach is from the YEE
VOR. Returned to base :-(((

Got some good IMC anyway.

That's an interesting flight report -- thanks. Was the NOTAM not in
the CZYZ FIR NOTAM file initially because of an unscheduled,
last-second outage?


All the best,

I don't know if it was a last minute unscheduled outage but it is still not
in the CZYZ file. The only way I've found it is to get the notams for CYEE.

Cheers,
Ross

Right, I see that too -- it's NOTAM'd U/S until 16z today. I suggest
that you call the London FIC at (866) 541-4104 to report that the
outage is missing from the CZYZ file. Several Victor airways go
through YEE, and poor schmucks like you and me (who still actually
tune in VORs) still need to know about outages like that for enroute
planning.
