If so what are your feelings/experiences with NavCanada privatization thing?

steve706 · Oct 4, 2017

NavCanada as a private company came into being a few decades ago, not exactly a new thing. Was pretty a seamless transition from being part of Transport Canada to the non profit that it is now. No difference in service that I noticed.

If anything it is a bit simpler to use/access. As Steve said, a smooth transition. As a private pilot, my useage of the system is quite limited however. Ben

Has it ever had to be "bailed out" using government funds?

steve706 · Oct 4, 2017

Nope, it?s a non profit that runs within the parameters set by the gov?t, not really a possibility.

How is it funded? Does the general aviation community have to help pay the tab?

steve706 · Oct 4, 2017

Their money is made primarily from fee?s paid by users of their service ie; aircraft operators, and they sell their services both in manpower and technology to foreign countries as a secondary source of revenue.

What's nav canada? Is it similar to our ATC?

(quoted from post at 20:05:19 10/04/17) What's nav canada? Is it similar to our ATC?

Yep. Before the year 1996 it was called Air Navigation Services. Owned and operated by the Canadian Government. During that year it was distanced from the feds and called Nav Canada.
