CATSA Screening New Temporary Screening Sites

Boundary Bay Airport Langley Airport Nanaimo Harbour Departure Bay Pemberton Airport Pitt Meadows Airport Powell River Airport Squamish Airport Vancouver Harbour – Helicopter Vancouver Harbour – Floatplane YVR – Southside (+/- 5 Sites) Victoria Harbour – Floatplane Victoria Harbour - Heliport Whistler Helipad Port Hardy Airport Ganges Operational Requirements

Newly designated sites will require screening resources as well as standard Pre-Board Screening (PBS) and Hold Baggage Screening (HBS) equipment (combined solution). We expect an increase in passenger volume (as well as new screening requirements) during certain periods for certain existing operations. Portal operations will take place at a location outside the air terminal bldg. and consequently will require additional resources to carry out screening services. Operational Requirements

Transport Canada has written regulations to support the airspace plan Highlights of the regulations for screening at the temporary sites are as follows:

Exempt from screening for liquids & gels Cargo screening requirements Liability on air operator for compliance Screening Logistics

Screening in the temporary locations will take place in either an existing facility, Portable Screening Unit (PSU) or Mobile Screening Unit (MSU) with a planned 60 Pax per hr throughput. Under the following parameters: Combined screening solution PBS & HBS Cargo screening Screening of air crew Full or partial line of screening equipment Three (3)or four (4) person screening model inclusive of a working Point Leader (dependent on traffic) RCMP or Police of Jurisdiction presence for alarm response.

Garibaldi Tower - Northeast View Current Image – Digital Aviation Wx Camera information

• Use of Digital Aviation Weather Cameras • Use of this data needs to account for the latency of the images, the limited viewing area associated with the images, as well as the speed at which the weather situation can vary in this mountainous environment. • Overlays. Each DAWC site has a reference image that can be super-imposed on the actual real-world image, and information regarding the actual reference points that are visible and their respective distances can be relayed to the pilot, subject to the following conditions:

• NAV CANADA cannot determine and therefore will not provide, visibility, ceiling or weather trends based on DAWC data. Controllers will not make recommendations to aircrew and will be restricted to relaying specific type information available via weather cameras; – The term “ceiling” or “prevailing visibility” will not be use when providing information regarding web cam visible reference points – Pilot will be informed if there is inconsistency between the METAR (if applicable) and the information observed on the DAWC. S2S Operations Presentation Overview

• Flight Operating Procedures in the S2S ― Sector boundaries, communications, Ops & Surveillance coverage ― Review North Olympic VTA chart Whistler Aerodrome Procedures

The East end of the Heliport is site for the FBO for itinerant heliport traffic. The west end is for DND, space in between these areas will be used for Blackcomb Aviation operations. The large Municipal Landing Pad in the centre of the Heliport is the approach & take- off point for all itinerant traffic. All traffic is required to hover-taxi to or from this point. Prior to leaving their initial point of departure, itinerant operators are required to contact the Whistler FBO via telephone ( 604-966-2106 ) and provide the following information: -Operator Name -Aircraft Type & Call-sign -Pilot Name -Passenger Manifest -Pick-up Transportation Details (Company/Vehicle Type) -Estimated Time of Arrival -If Fuel is Required

Passenger manifests of larger helicopters (~more than six passengers) may be sent to the FBO via email.

With information provided, operator will be assigned a landing pad for their estimated arrival time. In the case that all pads are occupied for a particular time, the operator will be assigned a pad in the next available time slot. Whistler Aerodrome Procedures

During times of heavy traffic, itinerant helicopter not permitted to occupy a pad longer than the slotted time and consequently hold up traffic (ie. waiting for passengers to arrive). The helicopter must leave the heliport to allow the scheduled inbound traffic to land.

Once approaching the vicinity of the heliport, pilots are required to notify the FBO via the VHF UNICOM frequency (122.70 MHz). Pilots are also required to state their ground movement intentions on this frequency to the other air traffic at the heliport.

Landing pads “Alpha” and “Bravo” are the only pads where fuel is available to itinerant helicopters. These will be the primary landing pads for traffic, with pads “Charlie” and “Delta” additionally available when traffic becomes heavy.

Pad Delta is reserved for “Heavy” classed helicopters.

At the heliport there will be a front-end loader on 24-hour stand-by for snow removal. Blackcomb Aviation also has a small tractor that can aid in snow removal if weather demands it.

There will be no public parking available at the heliport. Vehicles transiting the heliport are limited to the pick-up/drop-off loop at the east end of the driveway. Whistler Aerodrome Procedures CATSA Screening

CATSA Screening The only public point of entry to the airside is via the CATSA screening trailer located at the far east end of the heliport driveway. Upon CATSA screening, passengers will be escorted by FBO personnel into the waiting area and their screened baggage will be transferred into a secure holding area. Their baggage will be tagged and the passengers issued a tag stub. Once screened, the passengers will not have access to their baggage until they have arrived at their destination. Upon arrival of helicopter transportation, FBO personnel will load passenger baggage and escort the passengers to the helicopter. If the helicopter requires fuel, this will be handled before passengers are escorted from the waiting area.

Upon arrival of a loaded helicopter, passengers and their baggage will be escorted directly to the pick-up area on the driveway via the Arrivals Gate on the fence. If the passengers’ pick-up transportation has not yet arrived, they will be permitted to wait in the waiting area. Whistler Aerodrome Procedures

In addition to CYR186,187,188 And Prior to Departing

Itinerant operators , must contact Whistler FBO telephone: ( 604-966-2106 ) and provide: - Operator Name - Pilot Name - Passenger Manifest - Pick-up transportation details (Company/Vehicle Type) - Aircraft Type & Call-sign - Estimated Time of Arrival - If Fuel is Required
