CYTZ
« on: November 21, 2008, 04:40:39 PM »
Whoever is the feeder for CYTZ... THANK YOU!

This is a great little airport and should prove to be a busy feed.

This pretty much completes all of the Airports in the Toronto area now.

We have Buttonville (YKZ), City Centre (YTZ), Pearson (YYZ) and even Toronto Terminal/Centre (CZYZ)

Except that Toronto Centre's feed still lets through transmissions from the terminal and the airport itself (tower freq). Has this problem been rectified yet?

I don't think so.. I think the feeder gave up on trying to fix it :(

Is CYTZ working? It's such a unique airport being on the island in front of Toronto, I'd love to hear even a recording, but nothing seems to be archived.

At Pearson there are certain early hours in the day when one ATC controller handles clearance delivery, arrivals and departure, ground, and sometimes approach - depending on the traffic volume. This way, you could hear his calls on all these channels but not the aircraft concerned (though some apparently have the replies in 'repeater mode'. The aircraft replies could be heard louder on the assigned frequency (because of their altitude). Usually after 6am comms get back to normal.

Planebouncer, what you are talking about is not the problem we are referring to... the problem we are referring to is that on the toronto centre frequencies, we can hear toronto tower... at no time does a controller at Toronto Centre (the IFR centre) couple his freqs to the tower frequencies... the problem is a problem either at the feeder level or with the scanner connection to the network, but the feeder has not been able to figure out how to fix it (we appreciate your efforts though...)

Right you are! That is a different level of responsibility.

I guess that's the feeder's personal monitoring preference and simply passed it on to the net, using one radio with dual watch enabled.

I saw Michael Lee-Chin at Toronto Island Airport once.  He had just landed and was escorting a short man in a very tacky brown suit to the terminal.





He flies his own Sikorsky.
