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: Phone number
This number is still listed in the CFS.
Parking
Hello,
Just wondering if there is ramp space available for long term parking? If so, what would be the going rate?
Thank You!

Hello,
Just wondering if there is hangar space or ramp space available for long term parking? If so, what would be the going rate?
Thank You!

Who?
All the equipment operaters in Fort McMurray are union members. Dale Erb is not in the union. Why does Dale Erb think the rules will change for him? Is he special?

One Man Airport
Private airport, registered and opened for the flying community. Runway is built and maintained so that owner's C182 can use it comfortably. A bit tricky to find the first time, as the lakes around tend to change their size, but absolutely worth visiting. Wayne Wilderman is an awesome person, keeping his airport in a great shape - friendly and open to the visitors. It was great to land there, will be happy to make it there again!
CYKA
Not much to say.
Self Serve Fuel
100LL Fuel available on the honour system. Competitive Price.

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: Close to Edmonton and price of fuel
I hope that good things do come of the change and maybe some upgrades, I have heard that they have increased prices on aircraft parking (almost double) and that a couple of aircraft may have left already. I am not currently in province so am not using this airport, but would love to see it thrive especially in light of YXD fore coming closure (my anger on this is a different matter) and the things I have read about ZVL. It would be nice now that the lake is receding if some land could be reclaimed and the runway and the taxiway extended. I know Cooking Lake Aviation has/had a legal GPS approach, but believe it is restricted, if the condo board could get that for general access.... Some Jet A1 would be good as I have seen a couple of turbines operate out of there.
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?

Terrible web site. badly designed and unfriendly.
Close to Edmonton and price of fuel
Cooking Lake Airport has now been transfered to the Condo association. We are expecting good things to come of this to breath new life into this airport. With the city center airport closing it is very well situated for anyone flying to/from Edmonton, Sherwood Park or Leduc. No Jet A. AvGas is $1.60 while City Center is $2.01/l.
re: New Fuel Service Available- Central Aviation Inc.
Update Oct 9, 2012
Central Aviation Self Serve Fuel Prices
Avgas $1.75+GST
Jet A-1 $1.34+GST

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
needs new pavement.
Needs paving I see.
springbank ATC
I have flown in and out of Springbank a few times in the last couple years and found the ATC to be consistantly surly so it seems to be more a culture of attitude toward GA. I fly C space around alberta quit a bit and have flown literally across Canada bumping controlled space frequently, I've never experienced anything near as bad as Springbank ATC. After the first couple bouts with Springbank ATC I asked an instructor at the local school, a recently retired Airline pilot who flys recreationally as well AND NavCanada rep at a rust remover for an interpretation of the Northern approach instructions to Springbank; all provided a different interpretation. I use Spring Bank to commute to meetings in Calgary so my choices are limited. I'll start carrying a bottle of Mydol in the plane and when they get snotty with me again I'll give it to the women (with deep voices) in the tower.
Landing and take off at Winter's field CRY4
Aug 2012, I landed here in a Beech 19a. Called ahead and spoke with Wayne who OK'd the use of his field. Runway 34. Bit bumpy but fine for a soft field approach and landing. Suggest anyone fly over the field first to get a good idea of what it's like. Exercise caution while taxing to park as there was an invisible hole just beside where I parked that was big enough to lose a foot in about 6" deep and would easily damage landing gear.
Thank Wayne for the use of the airfield
Margaree Airport
Visited the airport in August 2012. Beautiful asphalt runway, nicely maintained. No aircraft visible anywhere. Small terminal building, locked, looked largely unused. Three "hangars" of which only one looked servicable. Middle hangar falling down and full of non-aviation junk, third hangar closed with what looked like municipal ditch mower parked in front. No fuel, no telephone, and some distance from accommodation. This airport is close to the famous and scenic Cabot Trail, Baddeck, and should be crown jewel. Just add gas, a beater courtesy vehicle, an open terminal/pilot lounge and it should be busy all spring and summer. One wonders who built this airport, for what, and why it is well maintained but seemingly unused. Too bad really, could be a great destination.
Camp
Base for my Super Cub Ultra in FSX. Camping, flights to glaciers and flying the rivers. Apparantly it is not open, so it's pretty quiet there...
Linden, AB
If you are flying in to Linden for the first time this YouTube video shows the full sequence of approach, circuit joining, landing, taxiing and parking: Golden Haze: Dawn Landing at Linden.
A quick search will find it ....
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...
Qulichena airport
Good condition gravel strip (Sept 2012), helpful friendly people, and one of the few places where you can get mogas, both regular and premium. Flying a plane with a Rotax 912 engine this is really appreciated. Most high wing airplanes will be able to roll right up to the pumps (its a regular car gas station). The top of the gate posts needed to be about 6 inches lower for us so we used a fuel jug and pump we had on board to transfer fuel. Its only about 250 feet from the pump to the end of the runway so it wasn't too onerous but it would have been fun to pull right up to the pump.
Just be sure to note the power lines along the road.
Help us keep the Bashaw Airport OPEN!!!!!
If landing at the Bashaw Airport, please go inside to sign the registration Book. Our local goverment does not realize how many people use the airport because people do not remember to sign in. We really need your help to show them that this is a great little airport and deserves their support. Please help us keep the Airport open.
So if you landing or if you ae looking for a nice little day trip, stop by Bashaw, just please remember to come sign the book.

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.
commercial Flights
Which airlines have service here and Ground transportation representatives is not clear for someone visiting from out of state.
re: Phone number
You going to make us guess, or are you going to tell us what the correct number is?
Phone number
Phone number for Aviation CMP is incorrect.
Friendly little airfield
Friendly place to stop, grass or snow. Great for tailwheel, ultralights. Picnic tables, bikes to go into town, washrooms and more.
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.
