Canadian departure minimums?

Thank you for the reply. Where do you find the SID? Are they provided for
the larger airports?

Cheers,
Derrick

the airport diagram page.

Look at the SID first, if the airport has a SID. If the airport does not
have any published takeoff minima (i.e. it has no instrument approaches),
then you need at least 1/2 SM vis for fixed-wing planes and 1/4 SM for
rotorcraft (but it's up to you to evaluate obstacle clearance to see if you
need more).


All the best,

I'll assume that you're using a CAP (Canada Air Pilot) rather than the
Jepps, which I don't know. If you tell me which CAP you're using, I'll give
you a more useful example, but here's the listing for my home airport, CYOW
(Ottawa/Macdonald-Cartier):

- STAR: CYRIL SIX ARR
- STAR: LANRK ONE ARR
- STAR: OTTAWA FIVE ARR
- STAR: THURO EIGHT ARR
- STAR (RNAV): CAPITAL SIX ARR
- STAR (RNAV): DEANS TWO ARR
- STAR (RNAV): MEECH FOUR ARR
- STAR (RNAV): RIVER FOUR ARR
- NDB RWY 25 (GPS)
- VOR RWY 14 (GPS)
- LOC(BC) RWY 14
- LOC(BC) RWY 25
- ILS OR NDB RWY 07 (GPS)
- ILS OR NDB RWY 32 (GPS)
- SID (VECTOR): OTTAWA ONE DEP
- NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES
- AERODROME CHART
- TAXI CHART

It starts with the STARs, then the non-precision approaches, the precision
approaches, the SID(s), and the miscellaneous stuff at the end.


All the best,
