    Air Transportation Safety Investigation Report A18O0153 COLLISION WITH TERRAIN Piper PA-28R-200, C-GDUM Brantford Airport, Ontario 13 November 2018 History of the flight At approximately 00271 on 13 November 2018, the privately owned Piper PA-28R-200 aircraft (registration C-GDUM, serial number 28R7535272) departed from Burlington Executive Airport (CZBA), Ontario, with 2 people on board. The intended destination could not be determined, because neither a flight plan nor an itinerary were filed for the flight. Several minutes2 before departure, a succession of 5 keyed microphone clicks were recorded on the aerodrome traffic frequency at CZBA. This sequence of clicks is used by pilots to turn on the ARCAL (aircraft radio control of aerodrome lighting), which includes runway lighting. Although these clicks were recorded, no verbal transmissions normally associated with departing or arriving aircraft traffic were recorded. Shortly after departure, at 0028, the aircraft began to be recorded on radar climbing west of CZBA toward the Brantford Airport (CYFD), Ontario, located 28 nautical miles (nm) to the southwest.3 At 0043, when the aircraft was approximately 4 nm east of CYFD at 1600 feet,4 a series of clicks was 1 All times are Eastern Standard Time (Coordinated Universal Time minus 5 hours). 2 The exact time of the microphone clicks is uncertain, because the audio recording was compressed. 3 CYFD has a UNICOM radio frequency with limited hours of operation. It was not staffed at the time of the occurrence. 4 In this report, all altitudes are above sea level, unless otherwise noted. 2 | TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD OF CANADA recorded on the CYFD aerodrome traffic frequency.

September 2018 total accumulated airside revenue: Brantford Airport Board Minutes – October 15, 2018 Page 2 $3,257, down 4% from last year. S. Broughton and J. Quin met with Waterloo Wellington Flight Centre staff to review the condition of runway lights they intend to replace and have offered to the Brantford Municipal airport. The light system offered is not specifically compatible with our current system; they operate at a higher voltage which would require significant modifications to function with our current system. However many of the runway lighting housings could be utilized as replacement housings resulting in operating savings at our airport. Staff will continue to work with Waterloo International Airport on this opportunity.

  • Airport Feasibility Study.Pdf
    The Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg MEMORANDUM DATE: January 24, 2019 TO: Council FROM: Kevin De Leebeeck, P.Eng. Director of Operations SUBJECT: AIRPORT FEASIBILITY STUDY As part of the 2018 draft budget staff brought forward the Airport Master Plan update to support the 2015 “Approved in Principle” conceptual master plan drawing (attached) and to provide new strategic direction and planning for the future of the Airport. During the 2018 budget deliberations it was communicated that Council needed additional information regarding the asset such as; • potential increased funding and/or sale/transfer to Oxford County, • potential for tax revenue sharing with SWOX, • third party management, and • options for disposal As a result staff revised the 2018 Operations Business Plan and brought forward the concept of completing an “Airport Feasibility Study” in advance of proceeding with an Airport Master Plan update to address Councils additional information request. Unfortunately Operations Services was unable to complete this 2018 business objective due to, in part, continuous and prolonged staff vacancies as well as coming to the realization that much of the scope of work is beyond typical Operations staff undertakings. At the December 10, 2018 Council meeting Council requested staff to report on; • a new business model of a flight school managing the Airport facility, and • to provide a risk assessment of the general public accessing the Airport. Therefore as part of the 2019 draft budget staff re-introduced the “Airport Feasibility Study” incorporating and expanding upon all the informational items requested by Council as outlined above before proceeding with an Airport Master Plan update.
