4.5.1 General
An uncontrolled aerodrome is an aerodrome without a control tower, or one where the tower is not in operation. There is no substitute for alertness while in the vicinity of an uncontrolled aerodrome. It is essential that pilots be aware of, and look out for, other traffic, and exchange traffic information when approaching or departing from an uncontrolled aerodrome, particularly since some aircraft may not have communication capability. To achieve the greatest degree of safety, it is essential that all radio-equipped aircraft monitor a common designated frequency, such as the published MF or ATF, and follow the reporting procedures specified for use in an MF area*, while operating on the manoeuvring area or flying within an MF area surrounding an uncontrolled aerodrome.
* MF area means an area in the vicinity of an uncontrolled aerodrome for which an MF has been designated. The area within which MF procedures apply at a particular aerodrome is defined in the Aerodrome/Facility Directory Section of the CFS, under the heading COMM. Normally, the MF area is a circle with a 5-NM radius capped at 3 000 ft AAE.
At uncontrolled aerodromes without a published MF or ATF, the common frequency for the broadcast of aircraft position and the intentions of pilots flying in the vicinity of that aerodrome is 123.2 MHz.
At aerodromes within an MF area, traffic information may be exchanged by communicating with an FSS, CARS, UNICOM operator, vehicle operator, or by a broadcast transmission. The VCS in conjunction with AAS is normally provided at aerodromes served by an FSS. Some uncontrolled aerodromes are indirectly served by an FSS through an RCO and may provide RAAS. As flight service specialists may be located some distance from an aerodrome, it is essential that they be kept fully informed of both aircraft and vehicle activity.
Other aerodromes are designated as having an ATF. At some aerodromes with a control tower or FSS, an ATF is designated for use when the air traffic facility is closed. If a radio-equipped vehicle is present at ATF aerodromes, pilots can contact the vehicle operator directly on the ATF to ascertain that no vehicle-aircraft conflict exists. Operators of such radio-equipped vehicles will also provide pilots with any other available information on runway status and presence of other aircraft or vehicles on the runway.
There are some remote airports where a voice generator module (VGM) connected to an AWOS (or LWIS) continuously broadcasts weather information. An AWOS (or LWIS) broadcasts weather information that may differ from the aviation routine weather report (METAR) or aviation selected special weather report (SPECI) issued for the location. There may also be significant differences between broadcasts only a few minutes apart. Transport Canada recognizes that for any given site at any given time there can be only one official weather observation (METAR or SPECI), whether from a human observer or an automated station. As a result, it has been determined that although an AWOS (or LWIS) broadcast constitutes an additional source of accurate, up-to-the-minute weather information, it does not constitute an official weather observation (METAR or SPECI).
The wind and altimeter data obtained from an AWOS (or LWIS) via a VGM broadcast can be used to conduct an instrument approach. Therefore, at aerodromes where RAAS is provided and where AWOS (or LWIS) weather information is also available via a VGM broadcast, the wind and altimeter data may be omitted from the RAAS if the pilot indicates in the initial call to the FSS that the weather information has already been obtained from the VGM broadcast. To avoid unnecessary frequency changes and to assist in reducing frequency congestion, it is desirable that pilots acquire this weather information prior to entering either the MF or ATF area and inform the flight service specialist that they have the wind and altimeter information. On start-up at such an aerodrome, it would be desirable to listen to the VGM broadcast prior to taxiing.
The flight service specialist will advise pilots of below-minima conditions reported in the current official METAR or SPECI. This will ensure a common reference for pilots and ATS personnel since IFR or SVFR authorization would then be required to operate within the control zone. Pilots will also be advised of any other significant weather conditions reported in current METAR, SPECI, SIGMET, AIRMET or PIREP, as appropriate, which may affect the safety of the flight. The flight service specialist will provide, upon request, the complete current METAR or SPECI for the location.

Don't Call Me a Legend
I was a the BFC for the Thursday night dinner last week and purchased "Don't Call Me a Legend" by Garth Wallace. (My book is signed by the author!) It took me only four days to read it! What a great book and a great life story of Charlie Vaughn. My only wish was for the book to be twice the size, as I'd like to know more of Mr. Vaughn's flying adventures.
If you have not read this great book, I strongly recommend it for anyone who likes airplanes and aviation stories.

Jazz orders 15 new Q400 Bombardier planes
Feb. 9, 2010 – Jazz Air LP recently stated it had signed a deal to buy 15 Bombardier Q400 NextGen aircraft with options for an additional 15 aircraft.
Financial terms of the deal were not released.
Jazz, the regional partner of Air Canada, said the 74-seat turboprop aircraft will replace 15 50-sear regional jets.
The order for the new aircraft came as Jazz Air Income Fund reported a fourth-quarter profit of $20.8 million.
Operating revenue for the quarter ended Dec. 31 amounted to $351.2 million, down from $392.7 million in the last three months of 2008.
The airline said the drop was due in part to lower pass-through costs charged to Air Canada, a reduction in billable hours and a cut in the mark-up charged by Jazz a deal last year with Air Canada.

Angel of Mercy
By Dave O'Malley, Vintage Wings of Canada
While Vintage Wings of Canada is dedicated to telling the compelling story of Canada's aviation history by operating the finest collection of flyable aircraft north of the 49th parallel, there are times when we must tell you about stories, aircraft and people that are making a difference in other countries. One story has come to our attention that combines vintage aircraft operations and the most important news story of the day - the earthquake in impoverished Haiti.

2009 Edwards AFB Open House Part 1 & 2
By Bernard Zee, Contributing Editor & PhotographerFremont, California
Edwards AFB hasn't had an open house event for 3 years, so there was a lot of interest in the 2009 show. Edwards is the main Air Force flight test center for the U.S. with a rich aviation history behind it. One of the more famous exploits there was Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier in the X-1. Edwards is also known for being the alternate landing site for the Space Shuttle.

MERLINS AND MORE
By Kevin Moore, Contributing Editor & Photographer Roslin, Ontario, Canada
As a young boy who’s father served and flew in the RAF during World War Two, I came to love airplanes and aviation at a very young age. Though he was Flight Engineer/pilot on the Lancaster and Halifax bombers, the first model airplane my father and I ever built together was a Supermarine Spitfire Mk IV. I still have the model today, though a little worse for ware.

Chapter 549 - Amateur-Built Aircraft - 549.109 Minimum Rated Engine Power
(a) Piston engines: To ensure that there is a reasonable expectation of meeting the climb test requirements set out in section 549.111, the minimum permissible rated engine power shall be determined by the following equation:
where
Pmin = rated power of the engine(s) in kw (BHP);
b = wing span in metres (ft);
M (W) = declared maximum T.O. mass in kg (weight in lb);
C = 0.01339 (for use with fps units = 0.018) for monoplanes (including tandem wing and canard aeroplanes); or
C = 0.01711 (for use with fps units = 0.023) for biplanes or triplanes.
(b) Turbine engines: The minimum permissible rated power/thrust will be evaluated on an individual basis.

Zeppelin Eureka Part 2
By Bernard Zee, Contributing Editor & Photographer Fremont, California
I'm still giddy over having had the opportunity to ride in, and photograph the only Zeppelin in the United States. The 'Eureka' is one of a new breed of lighter than air ships manufactured by the Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik GmbH, and operated by Airship Ventures. This is Part 2 of the adventure...Part 1 can be found in eFlyer #099.
