re: Co-op
Sorry we missed your post, there is no licensed aviation mechanic at the club but there are a lot of knowledgeable people that can answer your questions and show you around.
The nearest airports with certified mechanics with a service shop are Hamilton International, Burlington Airpark and York Airfield
Hope this helps

Airport Closed
The land owner has sold the property and closed the airport
CYLS
I wrote to the FAA about the fact that they still have this listed as CNB9, and they wrote me back asking exactly when it changed. The person asking said "I need this information to track down in what AIRAC Canada publication it was modified for FAA's history file and as an authorized source to update of FAA (NASR) data base." Anybody here know when it changed?
Would you believe...
The FAA still has this listed as CNB9 instead of CYLS. I've sent them an update.
Jim Marker
Jim passed away last year. The airport remains open.
re: terminal one or terminal three
If you are flying on Air Canada, they use Terminal 1. If you are flying on Westjet, they use Terminal 3. Other airline's information can be found under the Pilot Info tab and/or visiting the airport webpage.
re: Pleasure tours??
This field is privately owned and does not have a commercial operator who offers sight seeing tours. Closest airports that might have someone that offers sight seeing flights are Stirling, Belleville, Tyendinaga Mohawk (Deseronto) or Kingston. Closer to your location (Bobcaygeon), you might have luck at the Lindsay or Peterborough Airports. And its never too late to finish your licence.
terminal one or terminal three
How do you know which terminal you need to use when flying in or flying out. This is a flight from Vancouver to Toronto.
Pleasure tours??
Does this field have a flight for a christmas present to fly as a sight tour around the area for an hour?
I wish I had finished my ticket.
Looks like a great field.
Im from Bobcaygeon
re: EAA 65 Stoney Creek
Reply to @MarcusPfeiffer: hello co-ops are coming up this year at my school and everyday as i pass by the air port there is at lest 4 or 5 cars. i was thinking that it would be great to get learing experice at a smal air port like this . Although it is smal there is no contact info and i hoped that you could lead me to some one who has experince in the mecanics as im vary intrested in how things work.
Mansfield
Great little aerodrome with 2 grass runways. Note a bit rough due to the terrain but solid even after a rainstorm. 1,900' and 1400'
Collingwood Airport
Excellent facility and friendly staff. One of my favorite airports. Great unicom service and good fuel prices.
re: Can anyone verify?
Reply to @david: It's not in George Plews lists (CFS airports, CFS heliports, WAS seaplane bases) that I can find.
Can anyone verify?
I can make out what might be a landing strip beside the pond, but it's extremely small -- it wouldn't work for anything but an ultralight, at best.
re: A Bigger Small Airport
Reply to @dazuppa:
I've found that it really varies depending on which instructor you get. I had Matt Ross as my instructor and he was great. Overall I found Buttonville to be very professional.
Flying out of Stoney Creek
Hi,
I live close and am currently in the process of acquiring a Challenger XL-65 Ultralight. I am looking for a place to keep it, hanger if possible (1/2 maybe), tie down otherwise but I expect I will keep it at my cottage in Honey Harbor half (or more) of the time.
Seems I JUST missed the EAA 65 meeting this month :(. Should I just drop by? Is there someone I can talk to?
Thanks
Heliports in Toronto
I wonder how much traffic each of the downtown hospitals helipads get on an average month, (HSC & St. Mikes). Does anyone know about Sick Kids specifically? I'm having trouble finding this information online.
Cheers if you do!
re: web design
Thanks for the feedback. Any suggestions on how to improve it?

web design
Terrible web site. badly designed and unfriendly.
see
wow i can see volk orange with orange hurc sitting there ha
Unfriendly
This is an extremely unfriendly and PPR strip which is too bad because it is perfectly situated to take full advantage of Buttonville closing - and has some old RCAF jet parts onsite.
I recommend you make your forced landing in an adjacent field before this place!! Go to Greenbank or Lindsay instead.
Co-op
Hello I'm looking for a phone # my bus passes the air port every day and I thought that it would be cool to do a co-op with a mechanic there .this page is the only thing I have found that has any info. Can anybody give me more info that would be great
re: ride to town
Sorry we missed your post but for future plans, the group is very active and most of the time there are members at the airport that would gladly help you in any way they can. You can always request a cab from the airfield to downtown Hamilton or any other destination.
Regards
re: Terrific Day Trip Destination
Reply to @jasmantle: Yes! A really cool flight. I take off CYRP and land at Morrisburg .5h later. I cross the street and "voilà " ; I spend the afternoon at Upper Canada Village, with my sons...
update
FYI, Picton is still a PPR airport except for PEFC breakfast, second Sunday of each month and Father's Day breakfast. Also there is a new registration box beside the old gas pumps. Please fill out the form. No tiedown fee. No fuel available.
The runways are maintained but are 70 years old so are far from perfect. No snow removal. Flying club is active but own no a/c. There are about 7 a/c based here in the summer.
description
There still is a flying school here. Also about 15 a/c in the hanger. Fuel is available Mon. to Fri during business hours. After hours and on weekends you need your own key. Price is reasonable.
re: Fort Erie Airport
According to the CFS, the western 2,350 ft portion of the runway is still in use. If you zoom in on the satellite view, you'll see a faint "28" painted about a third of the way from the east end of the runway.

No complaints
I stopped here briefly during a training flight and found the terminal staff were fine. There is also wifi. Don't get stuck in the men's washroom! The fly in breakfast is now every third Sunday per the Brockville Flying Club website.
Great Lunch available!
My spouse,son and I flew to Arnprior from CYSH. The original plan was to walk over to Tim Horton's( About a 2K walk) for lunch. We decided to stay and have the home made soup and a hotdog at the Airport. The Soup was excellent and my son devoured the hotdog.
entering Canada
Hi there, I am ferrying a Twin Otter from the U.S.A on straight floats. Anyone know if Canada Customs can be convinced to come down here and clear us in?? Canadian registered aircraft with Canadian pilots. Jet fuel would be too much to ask for I'm guessing but... Please email
Re: Airport facilities
Great place to do flight training. Lot's of room and not overly busy. Great little pizza/sub/coffee shop with tables inside and a nice deck with umbrellas outside. They do breakfast on weekends. Airport staff are helpful and terminal is nice. Could use a few pictures on the walls though.
Fort Erie Airport
This airport is no longer in service. The airfield was apart of the fleet aircraft company. When they closed down at the end of world war two the field was no longer maintained. The runway is currently in rough condition but could be used for an emergency landing for an aircraft no larger than a king air 350. The runway is 10-28. On the 28 end it has FLEET as the runway heading number.
Wind Turbines
Are wind turbines really planned for the runway area? That is what the Samsung project map says -- see "freewco dot blogspot dot ca" for information.
I am having trouble with this one. Is this correct?
Not maintained
According to Tornados Resort, who owns the airport, it is not maintained.
Guelp airport
Fuel is available with a card.
Restaurant is open.
re: 767-300
Sure, it could land and take-off from the 7002 feet of runway. It might be restricted to less than maximum take-off weight depending on the load and temperature. As for parking, according to the Canadian Flight Supplement (CFS), the only apron it would be allowed on is number 7 (north-west corner of the airport; not shown in the satellite shot) as all other aprons are restricted to aircraft with wingspans 118 feet or less. Apron 7 is restricted to aircraft with wingspans 170 feet or less.
767-300
Can a Boeing 767-300 land/to at CYKF and where would it park
Stan works on all kinds of single and twin engine planes WWI
nice grass field picturesque surroundings.
re: Why is Toronto International Airport not customer frien
oh, you are so wrong!!!!!! First though, my question would be why do you travel with so much luggage that you cannot simply wheel it around for yourself?
Yesterday I was meeting a 13 year old who was on a five hour layover from Barcelona to Edmonton. I asked an airport employee if he could provide me with some information about where she would be so that I could meet her. He asked me to write a note for her, then he found her when the plane arrived, ensured that everything was well with her and later on purchased us drinks at Tim Horton's. I was friendly, not angry; my niece was polite; the employee was phenomenal. My niece had heard scare stories about Toronto (Edmonton apparently bashes Toronto too), but this simple act of 'niceness' gave her a wonderful introduction to our (my!) city. Maybe change your outlook and you will find more pleasant circumstances.
Why is Toronto International Airport not customer friendly
It is always a pain to fly back into Toronto Airport despite the fact that it is an image builder for the city and country for so many visitors. First it is an expensive airport so the fees you pay are already one of the highest in the world. Second it is usually miles to walk from the plane up escalators, down escalators in a bland corridors and vast rooms. then you come to the immigration where the clueless personel trying to make orderly lines make you walk much further than necessary as necessary in a snake rather than individual lines. Then the insult of arriving after tiring journey and being asked to faddle about and pay $2 for a luggage cart. This last item is one of my tests for a civilised country. Most airports that I have visited mainly Europe offer free carts. Clearly Toronto airport is greedily money oriented rather than making customers happy. This really leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I am ashamed of Toronto airport because of its snivelling attitude. Try looking at airport users as humans you want to impress. It may be the most improved airport in Canada but it is still bottom of the pile.

Anybody flying up this week?
I've got a friend looking for a lift from Indianapolis on Tue or Wed 7/4/2012. Thought I'd give this a shot for him. Thanks

re: Aircraft times/arrivals/departures
What kind of listings are you looking for, and in what order?
The Palmerston Airport
What a great strip. Smooth and well maintained. Friendly folks there. Truckstop right next door. 100LL available.
helicopter ride
I was wondering if anyone knows if there are helicopter rides from downsview. my son is having a stag and we would like to get about 5 guys for a helicpoter ride. If anyone knows please contact me @vbalenzano@rogers.com The stag is on July 14th ,2012. No alchol involved.
Friendly ATC
🔗 Mon, 04 Feb 2013
— @dazuppa at John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport, Canada
I've only been to CYHM for touch and go's, but flew through their airspace and near it quite frequently while going to Niagara area and back - day and night, winter and summer.
Airport itself is large, way too much than average GA pilot may ever need - and located in a strategically excellent spot. Easy to find, and though there is a lot (as in - a lot!) of through and local traffic, never a problem to deal with thanks to an excellent, very professional ATC. Thanks guys, you set the standards in my books! Few controlled airspaces I've been to are as friendly and comfortable to deal with.
