Rockcliffe (CYRO): An airport to visit, but good planning is essential

The weather is favorable, you decide to take a trip to Rockcliffe to visit the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Rockcliffe. Good idea, but take a few minutes to plan your route and your arrival in Rockcliffe.

Rockcliffe Airport (CYRO) is a busy airport environment with constant training traffic and many day-to-day visitors. Procedures have been developed to facilitate the separation between incoming and outgoing traffic while avoiding the many surrounding airspaces classified as CYR. To help you, the Rockcliffe Flying Club has posted a page that explains these procedures graphically, all enhanced by a short video. 

You can find this information page HERE

Nav Canada: Aeronautical Information Circular 19/22
VFR Reporting Points

Significant points for visual flight rules (VFR) use in Canada are being amalgamated from three (3) types (VFR checkpoint, VFR call-up point and military VFR checkpoint) into a single type: VFR checkpoint.

VFR checkpoints are used as a supplemental means of navigation, when necessary, to alleviate air traffic services (ATS) workload and frequency congestion.

Note: VFR checkpoints are not intended to be used as a primary means of navigation or for flight planning purposes.

All VFR checkpoints in Canada will have a pronounceable name for use in air traffic communications and have a non-ICAO five-letter identifier beginning with "VC" for storage in VFR navigational databases.

Legends, symbols, identifiers and coordinate data for all VFR checkpoints will be updated in applicable VFR Terminal Procedures Charts (VTPC), and VFR terminal area charts (VTA) beginning 14 July 2022 and completed by 3 November 2022.
