Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
WHEREAS:
Air traffic using YYC's Alternate Departure Heading Trial vary significantly from the required heading;
Air traffic is often too low, loud and pass directly overhead our residences;
A large portion of Mayland Heights residences do not fall within the Government AVPA NEF contours;
East Mayland Heights residences are not constructed per Canada building code requirements for NEF;
Many Sr. residents were not aware of, nor able to voice concerns via NAV Canada's online consultations; and
Many questions's were asked at the consultations, yet no public reply has come from NAV Canada or YYC on them.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Mayland Heights, Calgary, Alberta, call upon the government of Canada to:
NOT make the current Alternate Departure Heading Trial permanent.
Response by the Minister of Transport
Signed by (Minister or Parliamentary Secretary): The Honourable Omar Alghabra
Transport Canada is the department that regulates civil aviation in Canada and as such represents the Government of Canada regarding civil aviation matters.
NAV CANADA is a private, not-for-profit corporation that provides air traffic control, airport advisory services, weather briefings and aeronautical information services in Canada. The Canadian Air Navigation System Commercialization Act mandates NAV CANADA to manage the Canadian airspace and air traffic management system which includes its air navigation structure.
Air routes and procedures are part of this air navigation structure and therefore, the current air traffic structure at Calgary International Airport (YYC) is part of NAV CANADA’s responsibility and is not part of Transport Canada’s mandate.
