Approach Course and;
b) Intercept final approach course at or outside Final Approach
Fix, then;
c) Remain on or above glide slope or assume 3 degree glide
slope.
c. 2301-0659 local time
1. Procedures:
a) Procedures "D1 b) and c), and D2" apply to all aircraft.
b) Departure procedure "d1 a)" applies to turbo-jet and
turbo-fan powered aircraft only.

CONTINUOUS DESCENT ARRIVAL
(CDA)
Per NAV Canadia:
In Canada we have 20 airports with RNAV STARS which are basically
constant descent arrivals into the terminal areas (from assigned
FL to below 5000’). Depending on the traffic, there would
be no restrictions until landing.
At our major and secondary airports, CDAs are used at all times
for descent to the terminal (from assigned FL to below 10,000
and below – The constant descent is then revised by ATC
depending on traffic, metering requirements, aircraft equipage).
At most secondary airports and tertiary airports, aircraft are
cleared for the approach. This is basically a CDA controlled by
the pilot until landing, unless ATC needs to apply a restriction
(level off) due to inbound/outbound IFR traffic (assuming no surveillance
capability). |
AIRPORT CURFEWS

Note: There are fines for
aircraft that do not comply with the noise abatement procedures
and operating restrictions. The Airport Enforcement Office recommends
an assessment of the penalties to Transport Canada which is responsible
for assessing fines.

NIGHT FLIGHT RESTRICTION PROGRAM
SUMMER 2007 (MARCH 25, 2007 - OCTOBER 27, 2007)
WINTER 2007 (OCTOBER 28,2007 - MARCH 29, 2008)
The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) is required to develop
and maintain a comprehensive aircraft noise mitigation program
and to manage the number of flights during the night restricted
hours.
Effective June 10,2004, the Toronto Pearson International Airport's
Noise Operating Restrictions were amended and the night restrictions
now apply to all aircraft. The Summer and Winter 2007 Night Flight
Restriction Programs are outlined in the attached summary.
To ensure that the number of flights during the restricted hours
remains proportionate to overall traffic levels, limits have been
placed on the total number of flights which may occur between
0030 and 0630 L, in any year. The GTAA will not exceed the established
limit and will carefully manage
the number of flights within the restricted hours.
All aircraft not operating on a scheduled and repetitive basis
are required to request and be granted permission to operate during
the restricted hours by contacting the Airport Duty Manager on
the day of operation at (416) 776-3030.
All aircraft operations are monitored for compliance with night
flight restrictions, preferential runway use and noise abatement
procedures (publisbed in the Canada Air Pilot). Please contact
the Noise Management office at (416) 776-4556 for any clarification
of requirements.

0000-0700 |
| All ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 3& equivalent aircraft |
0030-0630 |
| All other aircraft |
0030-0630 |
b) All aircraft operating on a scheduled and repetitive
basis are required to obtain an exemption (Section 4) or an extension
(Section 5) to operate during the restricted hours.
c) All other operators are required to obtain permission to operate
during the restricted hours by contacting the Airport Duty Manager
on the day of operation at (416) 776-3030.
d) Maintenance power run-ups are prohibited between 0000-0700
L unless authorized by the Airport Duty Manager at (416) 776-3030.
e) Training flights are not permitted in the Toronto Control Zone
except initial departure to or final arrival from other locations
from 0000-0700 L.
As of April 1,2002, all jet aircraft over 34,000-kg must be Chapter
3 compliant to operate in Canada. Transport Canada has granted
exemptions to some northern operators of Chapter 2 jets for maintenance
requirements at Toronto Pearson;
however, they must operate only between 0700-2359 L.
3. SHOULDER PERIOD OPERATIONS (scheduled within
restricted hours: 0030-0100 & 0600-0629 L)
In order to ensure that the number of flights within the restricted
hours will remain within the established limit over the entire
year, there will be strict control of shoulder period operations
with preference given to those operators who qualify for historical
precedence. Only the following quieter Chapter 3 aircraft will
be permitted to be scheduled in the shoulder period:
A300/A310/A318/A319/A320/A3211A330/A340; BAEI46; B71 7-200; B737-300/400/500/600/700/800/900;
B757; B767; B777; DC8-70; FlOO; CRJl/CRJ2/CRJ7/CRJ9; EI35/EI45/EI70/EI90;
MD80 and MD90.
These aircraft will be granted slots so as not to exceed single
arrival runway or single departure runway capacity.
4. EXEMPTION OPERATIONS
A limited number of exemptions for Chapter 3 or equivalent operations
may be approved in advance conditional on the GTAA's ability to
remain within the total number of flights agreed on with Transport
Canada. Exemption requests should be addressed to the Senior Manager,
Facility Allocation (Fax (416) 776-3483) and must be submitted
30 days in advance of the planned operation. Information regarding
exemption criteria may be obtained from Slot and Facility Allocation
at (416) 776-3548. An air carrier's history of compliance with
exemption times and frequency of extension requests will be considered
in evaluating exemption requests.
NOTES:
a) Shoulder period and exemption operations are allocated by GT
AA Slot and Facility Allocation. Submit slot requests to Airport
Coordination Canada Limited (ACCL) at (905) 673-6380 (fax. (905)
673-9892) or Teletype YYZSCAC, YYZTMCR. ACCL will in turn remit
the slot requests to the GT AA for consideration.
b) Operations delayed beyond approved slot times will require
an operating extension.
5. OPERATING EXTENSIONS
All requests for extensions will require thorough justification
and be subject to careful scrutiny. Extensions may be granted
on the day of operation onlv for delays caused by weather, mechanical,
security, or ATC problems. Contact the Airport Duty Manager at
(416) 776-3030 (fax. (416) 776-5615) to request an approval to
operate within the following periods:
0030-0200 L - Departure delays ofB747, DCIO, LIOII, MD80 aircraft
and all aircraft hushkitted to Chapter 3 noise certification.
0030-0300 L - Arrival delays of all Chapter 3 aircraft and departure
delays of Chapter 3 aircraft other than B747, DC1O, L1O11, MD80
and hushkitted Chapter 3 types.
NOTE: Non-noise certificated, Chapter 2 and equivalent aircraft
will not be granted operating extensions.

APU OPERATING RESTRICTIONS - NONE
NOISE BUDGET RESTRICTIONS
As a condition of the transfer of Lester B. Pearson International
Airport (LBPIA) to the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA)
on December 2, 1996, the GTAA is required to adopt the same Noise
Mitigation Procedures for LBPIA as practiced by Transport Canada
immediately prior to transfer. An agreement was reached with Transport
Canada limiting the total number of flights operating during the
Night Restricted Hours (0030-0630) in any calendar year to ensure
that total flights during the restricted hours do not increase more
than the overall passenger traffic. The limit is based on the percentage
yearly increase of passenger traffic from the previous year.
While the GTTA is not able to change the Noise Operating Restrictions
at LBPIA without the approval of Transport Canada, it does have
the authority to grant extensions and exemptions on the same basis
as practiced by Transport Canada prior to the transfer. Because
the GTAA must not exceed the limits on flights during the restricted
hours it must very carefully manage the number of extensions and
exemptions granted. |

COMMENTS
GTAA Noise Management Policy
In keeping with its commitment to operate LBPIA in a manner that
maintains and promotes LBPIA as an economic asset for the region
with sensitivity to surrounding communities, the GTTA has developed
a Noise Management Policy.
The policy addresses matters of aircraft operations and the extent
of residential intrusion into a newly-defined LBPIA Operating Area.
The Operating Area is the nearest appropriate natural or man-made
boundary beyond the 30 NEF contour. Highlights of the policy are
as follows:
The GTTA will manage aircraft noise generation by enforcing federal
regulations on the progressive replacement of noisy aircraft with
the newer, quieter aircraft technology and enforcing, as appropriate,
noise management procedures with full regard to safety.
GTTA will oppose incompatible land uses, especially residential
developments, within the LBPIA Operating Area. Residential development
will be considered as being compatible only if located outside the
30 NEF (Noise Exposure Forecast) contour.
The GTTA will manage conflicts where existing residential areas
and the LBPIA operating area overlap. The GTTA will continue the
noise management program previously established by Transport Canada
and modify it as appropriate to meet operating demands. A Noise
Management Committee has been developed to provide a forum for the
GTTA to work with the community on noise related issues. Through
consultation with this committee and the GTTA Consultation Committee,
the GTTA will work to minimize the conflict and the magnitude of
existing overlap between established residential neighborhoods and
the LBPIA Operating Area.
Implementation of the Noise Management Policy is essential to allow
the GTAA to act as a good neighbor and to ensure that is maintains
and enhances LBPIA as a major economic generator for the Greater
Toronto Area.
A more detailed map may be obtained by contacting the GTAA office
at (905) 676-3051. |
