(DT), Delta Uniform (DU), Delta Victor (DV), Delta Whiskey (DW)
✔✔When does LVOP get terminated? - ✔✔When the RVR is greater than 1200 for a
minimum of 15 minutes and the forecast is to continue to trend upward.
✔✔When does RVOp get terminated? - ✔✔When the RVR is greater than 2600 for a
minimum of 15 minutes and the forecast is to continue to trend upward.
✔✔What happens if there is a risk of lightning strikes? - ✔✔A Yellow or Red Alert will be
issued to all organizations with personnel working airside
✔✔What happens during a Red Alert? - ✔✔Fuelling / defueling aircraft, wearing
headsets and using headsets connected to an aircraft, loading and unloading an
aircraft, standing in the open or under an aircraft, embarking / disembarking passengers
(unless the bridge is connected) is prohibited.
✔✔What happens with the air temperature is below 3*C? - ✔✔Spilling of any water on
aprons is strictly prohibited
✔✔What's the Airport Operations number to contact? - ✔✔604.207.7022
✔✔ Aerodrome - ✔✔Any area used either in whole or in part for the arrival and
departure movement, or servicing of aircraft, including any related buildings,
installations, and equipment
, ✔✔Apron - ✔✔The part of the airside used for loading, unloading, and servicing aircraft,
as well for vehicle, passenger, and other pedestrian movement.
✔✔Controlled Area / Surface - ✔✔An airside area that cannot be entered unless
clearance had been obtained from ATC.
✔✔Controlled Taxiway - ✔✔A taxiway under the control of ATC. Only vehicles operated
by, or escorted by the holder of a D AVOP may enter or cross a controlled taxiway.
Obtaining clearance from ATC is a mandatory prior to entering or crossing..
✔✔Glide Path - ✔✔Part of the instrument Landing System that transmits a beam to the
plane at the right angles to the localizer beam at the ideal approach path angle.
✔✔Head-of-Stand (HOS) Road - ✔✔Vehicle corridor that passes underneath the
bridges located between the nose of the aircraft and face of the terminal building.
✔✔Horseshoe - ✔✔A portion of Apron VI between B and C piers on the west side of the
Domestic Terminal Building.
✔✔Instrument Landing System (ILS) - ✔✔Landing aid for aircraft that uses radio
beacons on the ground and instruments on the flight deck. One beacon (localizer)
sends out a vertical radio beam along thr centre line of the runway. Another beacon
(glide scope) transmit a beam to the plane at right angles to the localizer beam at the
ideal approach path angle.
✔✔Localizer - ✔✔Part of the ILS that sends out vertical beam along the centre line of
the runway and helps the pilot to remain lined up with the runway during an instrumental
approach.
✔✔Low Visibility Operations (LVOP) - ✔✔Runway visible Range is 1200 ft to 600 ft
✔✔Reduced Visibility Operations (RVOP) - ✔✔Runway visible range is 2600 ft to 1200
ft
✔✔Manoeuvring Area - ✔✔A subset of the movement area used for the take off and
landing of aircraft and for the movement of an aircraft associated with take off and
landing. All of the runway, helipads, and most taxiways at YVR are controlled surfaces.
✔✔Movement Area - ✔✔All controlled and uncontrolled areas of the Aerodrome
provided for the movement of aircraft.
✔✔Over Height Vehicles - ✔✔2.0 m (6.5 ft) or higher
