There's a SHART somewhere out in Denver center I'll try and short cut people to. We've got a BULLZ arrival that has nothing Bulls related on it, but it does have BHAWK, STNLE, CUUPP. They started working on adding those fixes in 2010 and luckily they won the Stanley Cup again a few months before they activated them last year. Edit: A controller cleared a guy direct BHAWK the other day and the guy asked if he meant direct blues

Any Canadians working for NavCanada reading this thread? I'm thinking of applying but I come from a wine retail/purchasing/logistics background and have zero aviation experience. It's always interested me though. The NavCanada website seems fairly informative with regards to training length and other things. What concerns me is reading a bunch of stuff online about how NavCanada is a terrible company to work for and that people would leave in a heartbeat if their ATC skills actually translated to other, non-aviation, fields. So consequently, it sounds like you have people who make decent money but absolutely hate their jobs. I'm assuming the training is probably as extensive as it is in the States, so thanks to those who posted their experience with their training period. Basically, I'd love to hear from anyone working for NavCanada and what their experience has been thus far with the company, how the training component was, the odds of being stationed in Iqaluit or some other remote outpost for years on end, etc.. Also, a more general question here, do you need any specific skills or personality traits in order work in this field?

Question: Does tower have to specifically give you approval to overfly the field when commencing a circle? re: http://155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1404/00022VB.PDF I asked my student what circling instructions we expected to hear, and he said "cleared to overfly the field, circle NE for a L base to runway 13" I told him I've never requested to overfly the field, and never said "overfly the field" when requesting the specific circling instructions above. However, tower read back "cleared to overfly, circle NE for a L base to runway 13." So is it required to say, or is he being nice because he knows it's a student training sortie? How would Tower specifically like me to phrase my circling requests?

By all means if you have a specific direction/special request for the circle put it on request and we'll try to make it happen. I don't hear requests like that too often but I have heard checkins like "xxx, 5 miles out on LDA 22, request to overfly 22 circle west for 13" or something similar. Overflying can help us eliminate the conflict at the base to final turn that can happen with runway configurations like Ardmore and my airport's (Amarillo).

I had a C-17 that couldn't get into the local Air Force base because the weather was below mins he needed to shoot the approach. He asked to hold, and I asked him if he was familiar with one of our holding fixes known as WAKOV. The pilot replied "Yeah, we're *very* familiar with WAKOV" "Proceed direct WAKOV and hold"

Thanks for the response. I'm getting the impression that you end up assigned to a specific field (FSS or Area Controller or whatever) based on your initial testing; is that correct or do you have a say in where you end up? Also, where is the classroom and simulator training held at? Is it a regional thing or is it at a single location? What about the on the job training? I live in Winnipeg so would I be doing the training here or would they ship me to some random place? I'd like to think they would hold off on sending you to some random place until you're actually being paid your full salary, but of course I have no clue..

From the fix discussion on the last page: RNAV STAR's seem to be growing in popularity, and with them creatively named waypoints. There's an arrival into ORD that has has WELCM, TEEOO, CHCGO in a row. Edit: beaten to the BULLZ/BHAWK irony. The best (worst) have to be the FRDMM and TRUPS arrivals into DCA. They both have a serious helping of  and are a royal pain in the rear end to fly because they have waaaaaay too many speed and altitude restrictions.KodiakRS fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Apr 25, 2014 |

I did a transfer request blast like that about a year ago now. I hope you have better luck. Mobility in the agency is low right now. A lot of people become supervisors just to get the opportunity to transfer. I'm hoping it won't take much longer for me to get picked up somewhere I want to go.

Recognize a mistake you have made and then fix it without getting worked up. Also skills with interacting with other makes your job easier. I work in the states but I would imagine those two things would be required regardless of the country. As far as things that would be easier to learn... math, geography, weather and pilot lingo.

General aircraft knowledge as well. Types, relative performance, the basics of VOR navigation, weather, quick in-your-head math, etc. No one expects you to solve for x on the fly, but being able to math out whether the guy will make it 3400 feet in six minutes by observing his rate of climb helps.

We just got some new arrivals in Toronto. Here's one: The only transition fixes are OTNIK, NAKAL, and IRKIM. This is the first time we've had transition fixes so far away from the field. Now, imagine you're coming in from the west or southwest on a different arrival but there's a thunderstorm in the way. In that case I might prefer if you came in from the north so I might say "proceed direct BOXUM and fly the MANS7 arrival". However, I was told that without specifying the transition fix (either OTNIK or NAKAL, both of which are hundreds of miles away) you would have trouble inputting the clearance into your FMS. Is that true?

Okay, so if I issue direct BOXUM it's no problem since it's on all the transitions? What if I issue direct DARID instead?

Down here, we issue direct to fixes on the arrival all the time. I've never heard anyone complain about it. Are you with NavCanada? Delayed edit: Certified on my second two D sides.

I think they have a similar setup to U.S. airspace in that FL180-FL600 are IFR only and therefore require an IFR clearance/flight plan to enter.
