What are Controlled Airspaces?
Transport Canada designates controlled airspaces through regulations such as the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) and guidance documents such as TP312 Aerodrome Standards and Recommended Practices (4th and 5th Edition). Additionally, the Regina International Airport has federally-mandated Regina Airport Zoning Regulations which define the controlled airspace around YQR.
What are Bird Hazard Zones?
Bird Hazard Zones are risk-based areas which pose the highest conflict between wildlife and air activities. These are reviewed periodically by the RAA, in consultation with professional biologists.
The figure below identifies the current Bird Hazard Zones around the Airport. If your project involves the introduction of a wildlife hazard (see below) within the Bird Hazard Zones, your project requires further review by NavCanada and the Regina Airport Authority.
