Runway Numbering Runways are named by a number

Runway Numbering Runways are named by a number between 01 and 36. A runway number is taken from of the direction (or bearing) that it points. Numbers are rounded off to the nearest 10°. For convenience, the last Zero is omitted. Numbers are marked at the end of every runway in large white numbers. Example: A runway pointing to 018° magnetic would be rounded up to 020, the last zero dropped and the runway numbered 02. A runway pointing to 192 O magnetic would be rounded down to 190, the last zero dropped and the runway numbered 19.

Runway Markings Touchdown Zone Marking Only found on runways longer that 1200 metres (5000 feet). Fixed Distance Markings or Aiming Point Markings Is the point where a 3 degree glide slope intercepts the runway when the aeroplane is 50 feet above threshold. Canadian airports use striped lines while most International airports use solid lines.

Runway Markings Displaced Threshold Sometimes the threshold has to be temporarily or permanently moved. The markings for the two types are shown on the left.

Runway Markings Stopways The paved area preceding a runway threshold prepared and maintained as a stopway or overrun safety area may be marked with yellow chevrons. This area is not available for taxiing, the initial takeoff roll or the landing rollout. The chevron markings may also be used on blast pads or stop way.

Taxiway Markings Taxiways: The taxiway centreline is a single yellow line used as a guide to keep the aircraft in the centre of the taxiway. Taxiway Edge Marking Taxiway Centreline and Hold short point

Taxiway Markings � Hold Lines: �Are yellow lines running across the taxiway. Hold short lines consist of two solid and two dashed lines for runway hold short points. The dashed lines are on the runway side. A single dashed line indicate a taxiway hold short point. Aircraft must “hold short” of these points until cleared to proceed onto another taxiway or onto a runway.

Taxiway Markings Enhanced taxiway markings are intended to provide additional visual cues to taxiing pilots to help them identify the location of the runway holding position. This additional marking is designed to reduce the number of runway incursions at airports where there are commercial operations.

Aerodrome Markings Closed Markings: Marked with large white or yellow X’s on both ends of the unusable area of a runway or taxiway. Unserviceable Markings Marker boards, cones or red flags are also used to mark unserviceable areas that can be passable with caution.

Wind Direction Indicators � Wind Direction Indicators (Wind Sock): Indicates wind speed in knots (kts); elongates as the wind increases; if the wind sock is straight out then the wind is 15 kts or more; if the wing sock is on a 5° down slope then the wind is 10 kts; if the wing sock is on a 30° down slope then the wind is 6 kts; if the sock is fluctuating then gusty conditions exist.

Lighting Runway threshold and end indications are provided by green and red light units in the form of a pair of bars along the threshold on each side of the runway centreline. Red shows in the direction of takeoff and green shows in the approach direction.

Lighting Runways are outlined with white lights. Taxiways are outlined with blue lights.

Lighting Obstructions, such as building, towers, power lines, etc. are marked with red or white lights. Obstruction lights may be on steady, flash, or be strobe lights.

The Circuit � Upwind: The area opposite to downwind leg. � Crosswind: Flight path perpendicular to the downwind leg. � Downwind: Flight path opposite to the direction of landing, which is parallel to and a distance off to the side of the runway. � Base: Flight path perpendicular to the landing. � Final: Flight path in the direction of landing.

NORDO at a Controlled Airport NORDO NO Ra. Di. O. Aircraft is not capable of communicating over the radio. RONLY Receive ONLY. Similar to NORDO except the aircraft can receive messages. Tower may ask for confirmation through a visual sign (i. e. rock the wings).

Authorized light signals to aircraft on the ground: The following are authorized light signals to aircraft on the GROUND: Flashing Green Light Steady Green Light Flashing Red Light Steady Red Light Flashing White Light Blinking Runway Lights Cleared to taxi. Cleared to take-off. Taxi clear of landing area in use. Stop. Return to starting point on airport. Vacate the runway immediately.

Authorized light signals to aircraft in the air: The following are authorized light signals to aircraft in the AIR: Steady Green Light. Steady Red Light Flashing Green Light. Flashing Red Light. Red Pyrotechnic Flare. (Military control towers only) Cleared to land. Give way to other aircraft and continue circling. Return for landing. Airport unsafe. Do not land. Whether by day or night & notwithstanding previous instructions, means do not land for the time being.

Airworthiness It is the pilot’s responsibility to ensure that Canadian registered aircraft are fit and safe prior to being flown. Flight Permit Issued for experimental and specific purpose. Certificate of Airworthiness The C of A signifies that the aircraft conforms to TC recognized design standards. Annual Airworthiness Info Report Certifies that airworthiness information is correct. Does not require an inspection, flight test, or certification.

Documentation The following documents are required to be aboard all aircraft: C - Crew Licenses and Medicals Pilot License Medical Certificate Restricted Radio Operator's Certificate (unless NORDO) P - Pilot Operating Handbook (POH) R - Certificate of Registration (C of R) A - Certificate of Airworthiness (C of A) I - Liability Insurance L - Journey Log

Documentation The following documents are recommended to be aboard all aircraft: A - Airworthiness Certificate (C of A) R - Registration (Certificate of Registration C of R) O - POH (Aircraft Flight Manual, Aircraft Operating Manual) W - Weight and Balance and Equipment J - Journey log I - Insurance Proof L - Licenses of the Crew I - Interception Orders
