Vancouver/Victoria Airspace

Are you in Conflict?

A risk management study was conducted by Transport Canada, Pacific Region regarding high-density air traffic airspace in the Vancouver/Victoria terminal areas.

As a result, pilots should be aware of the following:

1. Pilots should follow the published procedures, instructions and notes as depicted on the Vancouver VFR terminal area chart (VTA).
   
   
2. Pilots should be aware of the proper radio frequencies in the airspace they transit.
   
   
3. VFR pilots, in particular, should be cautious at the VFR checkpoints and traffic convergence area (i.e. PT GREY, PT ATKINSON, BOWEN IS or ACTIVE PASS).
   
   
4. Where practical, instructional flights should be conducted in airspace designated areas [i.e. advisory area (CYA) (T)] and avoid airways and air routes.
   
   
5. All pilots operating in Class E airspace must be vigilant of uncontrolled traffic.
   
   
6. Pilots are encouraged to review collision avoidance procedures (i.e. “see and be seen, see and avoid”) and traffic situational awareness.
