Canadian departure minimums?
Thank you for the reply. Where do you find the SID? Are they provided for
the larger airports? Cheers, Derrick "David Megginson" wrote in message t.cable.rogers.com... Derrick Early wrote: I found the answer to my own question. The departure minimums are listed on the airport diagram page. Look at the SID first, if the airport has a SID. If the airport does not have any published takeoff minima (i.e. it has no instrument approaches), then you need at least 1/2 SM vis for fixed-wing planes and 1/4 SM for rotorcraft (but it's up to you to evaluate obstacle clearance to see if you need more). All the best, David |

If you tell me which CAP you're using, I'll give you a more useful example, but here's the listing for my home airport, CYOW (Ottawa/Macdonald-Cartier): - STAR: CYRIL SIX ARR - STAR: LANRK ONE ARR - STAR: OTTAWA FIVE ARR - STAR: THURO EIGHT ARR - STAR (RNAV): CAPITAL SIX ARR - STAR (RNAV): DEANS TWO ARR - STAR (RNAV): MEECH FOUR ARR - STAR (RNAV): RIVER FOUR ARR - NDB RWY 25 (GPS) - VOR RWY 14 (GPS) - LOC(BC) RWY 14 - LOC(BC) RWY 25 - ILS OR NDB RWY 07 (GPS) - ILS OR NDB RWY 32 (GPS) - SID (VECTOR): OTTAWA ONE DEP - NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES - AERODROME CHART - TAXI CHART It starts with the STARs, then the non-precision approaches, the precision approaches, the SID(s), and the miscellaneous stuff at the end. All the best, David |

Hi David,
Fredericton was fine. We arrived at around 2pm on a Friday. We cleared customs with a phone call to CANPASS. The FBO called over a truck for us. We were back up in the air in 40 to 50 min. I also think they have at least one ILS maybe more. Have a great trip. Thank you again for the help. Cheers, Derrick "David Megginson" wrote in message t.cable.rogers.com...

None of the airports that I landed at last week had any SID's. The biggest airport was Fredericton, NS. I'll be flying out there for the first time the week after next, and will be stopping in NB (probably Fredericton or Moncton, unless I get a better suggestion) for a fuel stop before continuing on to NS. What did you think of the Fredericton airport and the FBO you used? Halifax will give you a good selection of STARs and SIDs in CAP 7, I think. All the best, David |

I'm leaning towards Moncton right now, just because we'll be able to see the ocean before we land, so it won't seem like we have us much ahead of us to Cape Breton. Still, it's good to know that Fredericton is a decent option. All the best, David |
