Aeronautical Publications Canada Water Aerodrome Supplement
The Canada Water Aerodrome Supplement (WAS) is a bound book
(5 ¼ x 8 ¼ inches) designed to be used in conjunction with the aeronautical charts and provides information essential for the planning and safe conduct of flights operating to/or from Canadian water aerodromes.
Only aerodromes that provide an advantage for the aviation community are published. Typically this includes aerodromes that are open to the public, are used by more than one aircraft, have an area for docking/beaching with tiedowns, and have a telephone available to the users of the aerodrome.
The WAS is revised and reissued annually in the spring. It is available in the bilingual format and only data for the province of Quebec and the National Capital Region is presented in french.
NOTE:The information contained in the charts and publications are current only to the date of submission for printing. A NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) may amend or cancel the information on the aeronautical products, therefore the NOTAM must be consulted to ensure that current information is used for flight operations.
