Airspace
  |
The Capital unit of the Montreal ACC provides terminal control for the Quebec and Ottawa TCAs. The controllers are checked out to work both airports - sometimes simultaneously.
IVAO simulates 2 sectors of this unit, Quebec Terminal (QC) and Ottawa Terminal (OW)
When only one station is online this station - regardless of callsign - provides service for both Ottawa and Quebec, as in the real world.
QC is considered the 'primary' sector and should be opened first, however if a controller prefers to control
Descriptions of the Quebec and Ottawa airspace as well as aerodrome procedures are available in their designated pages in the menu to the left.

Sectors
Quebec - QC
Callsign: |
CYQB_APP "Quebec Terminal" * | |
Frequency: |
127.85 | |
Description: |
The QC sector is responsible for the Quebec TCA as well as a large part of airspace to the east below FL280. | |
Co-ordination: |
Montreal (ALL) | Clear all departures to 13'000ft* or flight planned altitude, whichever is lower and hand off to appropriate sector established on course. *When QE is consolidated with QC departing aircraft may be cleared to FL280. |
| Boston* | (Only applicable When QE consolidated with QC) Clear departures via LABRE and PINTE shall be cleared to FL280 or flight planned altitude, whichever is lower. Hand off directly to Boston. |
|
| Bagotville (BG) | (Only applicable When QE consolidated with QC) Bagotville arrivals shall be cleared to 14'000ft. |
|
Consolidation: |
QC may be assumed by OW in a one-man configuration. | |
*Note: |
For departing aircraft radio callsign is "Departures", for arriving aircraft radio callsign is "Arrivals", and for transiting aircraft it's "Terminal" | |
Lauzon - QE
Callsign: |
None |
Frequency: |
None |
Description: |
Lauzon is a virtual sector situated above the Quebec TCA. |
Co-ordination: |
None applicable |
Consolidation: |
When Montreal ACC is not open Quebec Terminal (QC) shall assume Lauzon (QE). When the Montreal ACC is open the sector will be consolidated with Granby (GR) by default, but may be delegated to Quebec Terminal (QC) if workload requires. |
Ottawa - OW
Callsign: |
CYOW_APP "Ottawa Terminal" * | |
Frequency: |
135.15 / 128.17 / 127.7 | |
Description: |
The OW sector is responsible for the Ottawa TCA up to 13'000ft. | |
Co-ordination: |
Vallie (VA) | Clear all departures to 13'000ft or flight planned altitude, whichever is lower. Departing aircraft may be cleared direct YMW, YMX, LAFIT, AVVON, MSS, REEDO, CELAR or WRANG without co-ordination. |
| Others | Co-ordonate individually. | |
Consolidation: |
OW may be assumed by QC in a one-man configuration. | |
*Note: |
For departing aircraft radio callsign is "Departures", for arriving aircraft radio callsign is "Arrivals", and for transiting aircraft it's "Terminal" | |
Ottawa Departures
Callsign: |
CYOW_DEP "Ottawa Departures " | |
Frequency: |
128.17 | |
Description: |
The departure sector may only be opened with prior permission, for special events. There is no clear division between the two sectors - basically you protect each other's airspace. | |
Co-ordination: |
Same as OW. | |
Arrival technique
Ottawa
Arrivals will be routed via the following RNAV or non-RNAV STARs.
CYRIL 6 (CYRIL)
DEANS 2 (CYRIL)
All 8000 by CYRIL CYRIL LANRK 1 (LANRK) CAPITAL 6 (LANRK) All 8000 by LANRK LANRK Ottawa 5 (YOW)
MEECH 4 (YOW)
All 8000 by YOW 30DME YOW THURO 8 (THURO) RIVER 4 (THURO) All 8000 by THURO THURO Montreal or Toronto Centres will hand off aircraft to "Ottawa Arrivals' on 135.15 (OW) at the altitudes and positions listed above or as requested.
All aircraft are to follow a STAR initially, but may be turned off for traffic if required. Pilots refusing to follow a STAR will be handed off a little early and will have to be assigned a heading that will keep them as close to the STAR as possible.Avoid descending non-straight-in traffic below 6000ft until downwind to ensure separation from departures. Do not vector aircraft over the city if possible.
Quebec
No STARs exist in Quebec, so traffic will be routed to the Quebec VOR for vectors to final. Arrivals via V318 and V3/98 are prohibited due to interaction with departures.
Montreal or Boston Centres will hand off aircraft to "Quebec Arrivals " cleared to: 8'000ft for V316, and 14'000ft for all other entry points, or as requested.
Do not vector aircraft through the Valcartier restricted zone. It extends to 17'000 which makes flying over it impossible.
Departure technique
General
Be cautious when vectoring departing and arriving traffic to avoid conflicts created by altitude - or lack thereof. There are no pre-determined techniques at either airports.
