Golden Horseshoe Airspace Enhancements
Nav Canada VFR Initiatives
Currently, many aircraft that transit the Toronto area do so just outside or below the Class C airspace. This results in opposite direction VFR traffic conflictions. To address this risk, charted one-way VFR routes have been added to the Toronto VFR terminal area chart (VTA).
There are three routes to the north of Toronto and two lakeshore routes. The routes are named by the last checkpoint they pass, so all communications pilots will hear tell pilots where the aircraft is going, not where it has been. These routes can be used by VFR pilots below Class C airspace or, with a clearance from ATC, they may be transited within the terminal airspace structure. In addition, heavily used VFR routes into and out of Brampton and Buttonville airports, which cross the north transit routes, will be depicted on the Toronto VTA and appropriate VFR terminal procedures charts (VTPCs) with their related caution text boxes.
Centred on the back of the new VTA is a planning map. While not for navigation, it includes the new VFR transit routes and instructions for their use. The CFAs are depicted, including examples of proper phraseology.
