Requests shall be forwarded to the Chief of Flight Standards, who will approve the request and coordinate the issuance of a NOTAM with the NAV CANADA International NOTAM Office. 1.1 STANDARDS 1.1.0-1 Abbreviations, acronyms and terminology used shall conform to the extent possible with abbreviations and acronyms published in TP14371E Transport Canada Aeronautical Information Manual (TC AIM) and in TP11958E Glossary for Pilots and Air Traffic Services Personnel. 1.1.0-2 Where airspace is designated by reference to the Can/USA bdry or to any portion of this boundary, the Definition of Boundary between Canada and the United States NAD 83, as published by the International Boundary Commission, shall be used. 1.1.0-3 The designation of airspace within this document applies to those portions overlying Canadian territory. Therefore, any portions of airspace overlying USA territory are excluded from the designations in this document. 1.1.0-4 All airspace designated in Part 3 is excluded from within airway or fixed RNAV boundaries. 1.1.0-5 Control Zones, as defined in Part 3, are excluded from all Transition Areas, Control Area Extensions and Terminal Control Areas as defined in Part 3. 1.1.0-6 Class F airspace, as designated in Part 5, when active, is excluded from all airspace designated in Part 3.

Where multiple location keys could be chosen only one will be selected. Ex. (Sault Ste. Marie, ON-AD) or (Deer Lake, NL-NDB) 1.1.0-9 All segments between points defining airspace boundaries are calculated as Great Circles, unless otherwise specified.
