Digital Aviation Wx Camera information

• Use of Digital Aviation Weather Cameras

• Use of this data needs to account for the latency of the images, the limited viewing

area associated with the images, as well as the speed at which the weather situation

can vary in this mountainous environment.

• Overlays. Each DAWC site has a reference image that can be super-imposed on the actual

real-world image, and information regarding the actual reference points that are visible and their

respective distances can be relayed to the pilot, subject to the following conditions:

• NAV CANADA cannot determine and therefore will not provide, visibility, ceiling or weather

trends based on DAWC data. Controllers will not make recommendations to aircrew and will be

restricted to relaying specific type information available via weather cameras;

– The term “ceiling” or “prevailing visibility” will not be use when providing information regarding web

cam visible reference points

– Pilot will be informed if there is inconsistency between the METAR (if applicable) and the information

observed on the DAWC.

Whistler Aerodrome Procedures

The East end of the Heliport is site for the FBO for itinerant heliport traffic. The west end is for DND, space in between these areas will be used for Blackcomb Aviation operations.

The large Municipal Landing Pad in the centre of the Heliport is the approach & take-off point for all itinerant traffic. All traffic is required to hover-taxi to or from this point.

Prior to leaving their initial point of departure, itinerant operators are required to contact the Whistler FBO via telephone ( 604-966-2106 ) and provide the following information:

-Operator Name

-Aircraft Type & Call-sign

-Pilot Name

-Passenger Manifest

-Pick-up Transportation Details (Company/Vehicle Type)

-Estimated Time of Arrival

-If Fuel is Required

Passenger manifests of larger helicopters (~more than six passengers) may be sent to the FBO via email.

With information provided, operator will be assigned a landing pad for their estimated arrival time.

In the case that all pads are occupied for a particular time, the operator will be assigned a pad in the next available time slot.

Whistler Aerodrome Procedures

During times of heavy traffic, itinerant helicopter not permitted to occupy a pad longer than the slotted time and consequently hold up traffic (ie. waiting for passengers to arrive). The helicopter must leave the heliport to allow the scheduled inbound traffic to land.

Once approaching the vicinity of the heliport, pilots are required to notify the FBO via the VHF UNICOM frequency (122.70 MHz). Pilots are also required to state their ground movement intentions on this frequency to the other air traffic at the heliport.

Landing pads “Alpha” and “Bravo” are the only pads where fuel is available to itineranthelicopters. These will be the primary landing pads for traffic, with pads “Charlie” and “Delta”additionally available when traffic becomes heavy.

Pad Delta is reserved for “Heavy” classed helicopters.

At the heliport there will be a front-end loader on 24-hour stand-by for snow removal. Blackcomb Aviation also has a small tractor that can aid in snow removal if weather demands it.

There will be no public parking available at the heliport. Vehicles transiting the heliport are limited to the pick-up/drop-off loop at the east end of the driveway.

Whistler Aerodrome ProceduresCATSA Screening

CATSA Screening

The only public point of entry to the airside is via the CATSA screening trailer located at the far

east end of the heliport driveway. Upon CATSA screening, passengers will be escorted by FBO

personnel into the waiting area and their screened baggage will be transferred into a secure

holding area.

Their baggage will be tagged and the passengers issued a tag stub. Once screened, the

passengers will not have access to their baggage until they have arrived at their destination.

Upon arrival of helicopter transportation, FBO personnel will load passenger baggage and escort

the passengers to the helicopter. If the helicopter requires fuel, this will be handled before

passengers are escorted from the waiting area.

Upon arrival of a loaded helicopter, passengers and their baggage will be escorted directly to the

pick-up area on the driveway via the Arrivals Gate on the fence. If the passengers’ pick-up

transportation has not yet arrived, they will be permitted to wait in the waiting area.

S2S - Failure Procedures

• Communication Failures

– In the event of an airborne communications failure:

– Squawk 7600;

– Land at the nearest suitable airfield; and

– Advise Vancouver ACC - Tel: 604-598-4906

• Airborne Aircraft Transponder Failures

The MLAT Surveillance system uses aircraft transponders to determine

exact location. If an aircraft’s transponder is unserviceable then

Surveillance data will not exist.

Therefore, no aircraft shall be permitted to enter the Sea to Sky corridor with

an unserviceable transponder.

In event of a transponder failure during flight, provide position reports

to update your progress, land at nearest suitable airfield

S2S Operations vs reported ceilings

• LIONS SECTOR

– If the reported ceiling is less than 1500ft ASL:

• Full flow control shall be implemented;

• Fixed wing aircraft operations will likely be restricted from entering the sector;

• All northbound aircraft will be advised to proceed on the east side of Howe Sound; and

• All southbound twin/float-equipped aircraft will be advised to proceed via the centre or west side of Howe Sound.

– If the reported ceiling is at or higher than 1500ft ASL:

• Reduced flow control shall be implemented;

• Recommended northbound altitude shall be 500ft asl;

• Recommended southbound altitude shall be 1000ft asl;

• Higher altitudes may be approved at 500ft increments provided the aircraft can maintain VFR at all times; and

• Fixed wing aircraft destined for Squamish (CYSE) shall be permitted.


• SQUAMISH SECTOR

– If the reported ceiling between Squamish Airport and Daisy lake is between 2000 ft – 3000ft asl:

• Two-way flow control shall be initiated, workload permitting

– If the reported ceiling between Squamish Airport and Daisy Lake is higher than 3000ft asl:

• Reduced Flow control shall be implemented

• Recommended northbound altitude shall be 2500ft asl

• Recommended southbound altitude shall be 2000ft asl

• Higher altitudes may be approved at 500ft increments provided the aircraft can maintain VFR at all times

In addition to using vertical separation whenever possible, if weather

permits, all northbound aircraft between CYSE and Daisy Lake Dam should

be instructed to proceed on the east side of the valley over highway 99, and

southbound aircraft to proceed over the canyon/railway line.


• WHISTLER SECTOR

All northbound aircraft shall be handed off to Whistler Sector at an altitude of 3000ft

asl, between the Dam and Brandywine, on the east-side of Daisy Lake,

– If the reported ceiling between Daisy Lake and Whistler Heliport is

between 3000 ft – 3500ft asl:


– If the reported ceiling between Daisy Lake and Whistler Heliport is higher

than 3500ft asl:

• Reduced Flow control shall be implemented;

• Recommended northbound altitude shall be 3000ft asl;

• Recommended southbound altitude shall be 2500ft asl; and

• Higher altitudes may be approved at 500ft increments provided the aircraft can

maintain VFR at all times


– If the reported ceiling between Whistler Heliport and Pemberton is 2500 ft asl or below:

• One-way flow control shall be implemented

FLOW CONTROL

In the event the weather precludes a 2-way flow of traffic in the Sea to

Sky Corridor, flow control shall be implemented.

– NORTHBOUND

• If flow control is in effect, metering will be accomplished by APREQ

departures

– SOUTHBOUND

• Due to the complexity of the airspace, southbound flow control will

be very dynamic. Departures from CYSE, CYPS, CBE9 will call for

approval request when ready for departure. At the discretion of the

sector controller, the aircraft will be released when traffic permits.
