TP312

April 3-5, 2012, Smithers, BC

The International Association of Airport Executives Canada (IAAE Canada) is pleased to present this two and a half day Training Program for all Airport personnel who deal with TP312. The courses are being held at the Smithers Town Hall Council Chambers at 1027 Aldous Street, Smithers BC.

Compliance with the standards contained within Transport Canada's Aerodrome Standards and Recommendations Practices, TP312, is a condition of certification pursuant to CAR’s. TP312 contains the standards pertaining to physical characteristics, obstacle limitation surfaces, lighting, marking and signs. In order to maintain certification, the standards of TP312 that were in effect at the time of certification must be observed. It is therefore imperative that the airport operator be able to specify the standards and practices.

To that end, the purpose is to provide the participant with the functional tools required to meet that objective through intensive review process. Essentially, each major section will be covered, almost in a page-by-page review, and summary of the more important points. The differences between Standards, and Recommendations will be emphasized. Some exercises calculating and plotting Obstacle Limitation Surfaces, and subsequent analysis will be completed, along with an operational case study to be completed by participants in a team grouping led by the instructor*.

Annex 14 and TP308 are used by the instructor to illustrate the rational for some TP312 Standards and Recommended Practices, and the interaction of Obstacle Limitation Surfaces respectively.

* The instructor, E.R. (Ted) Syme, holds a B.A.Sc. from the University of Toronto (1974) in Metallurgical Engineering, and an M.Sc. in Airport Planning and Management from Loughborough University (1995) in the U.K. He was a full time Professor at Georgian College in Barrie, Ontario, for 25 years. In addition to being a private pilot, and doing contract teaching of Airport Operations to many large U.S., Canadian and overseas airports, he has authored a text, Airport Development, Management, and Operations in Canada, 3^rd ed. published by AES Publishing in 2010.
