 Timelines - driven by CYXD and CZVL milestones.
 Current Project Activities
 Stakeholder Identification
 Review of current airspace structure
 Identification of operational opportunities for both Customers and ANSP
 Areas of Initial Consideration
 A review of the utilization of the airspace to the North and Northeast of CYXD; since RWY
16-34 has been closed.


A feasibility review of resizing the size of Class C airspace, with the closure of CYXD, and a goal of increased access to this airspace. i.e. the Chipman Soaring Area
Assurance that any new approaches are kept within controlled airspace and the impact this will have on future designs.
 Collaborative Approach
 To determine requirements and constraints of Stakeholders.
 Communication and coordination for customer feedback is a project requirement.
