Domestic AirspaceDomestic Airspace

Canadian Domestic Airspace includes all airspace over the Canadian land mass and the Canadian Arctic and certain areas over the high seas.


Domestic Airspace is divided Domestic Airspace is divided into two areas. They are:into two areas. They are:

Northern Domestic Airspace– Close proximity to the magnetic pole. Compass is

hard to read here.

Southern Domestic Airspace– Most areas within Canada fall into this division. Most

aircraft fly at set altitudes.


Altimeter Regions Altimeter Regions Altimeter Setting Region

– Prior to take-off or landing, a pilot will set the aircraft's altimeter to the nearest aerodrome.

Standard Pressure Region– Includes areas mostly in the north and airspace

above 18,000 feet. Altimeters are set to the standard setting of 29.92”Hg.


Sparsely Settled AreasSparsely Settled Areas

Geographical areas of Canada with few settlements.

Flight in such sparsely settled areas requires special

precautions and procedures because of limited navigation

facilities, severe weather conditions, limited weather

information, limited fuel supplies and servicing facilities.


High and Low Level Airspace:High and Low Level Airspace:

High level airspace– All Canadian Domestic Airspace that is 18,000 feet

and above

Low level airspace– All Canadian Domestic Airspace that is below 18,000

feet

Let's try a few review questions on Aeronautical Rules and Facilities:

Question #1 - What is the airspace above 18,000 feet where the altimeter is set to 29.92”Hg called?

I’m afraid that answer is incorrect

That answer is correct.

Restricted AreaRestricted Area

Airspace in which activities may constitute a potential hazard to aircraft.

Danger AreaDanger Area

Flight is either completely prohibited or restricted to specific conditions.


Alert AreaAlert Area

Area in which a high volume of flying training or unusual type of aerial activity is carried out. Flight within these areas is not prohibited but pilots should exercise extreme caution.


Military Flying AreaMilitary Flying Area

High level airspace reserved for

military flying and testing exercises.

Civilian aircraft are not allowed in this

area.

Congratulations!!

You have now completed the Airspace lesson of the Aeronautical Rules and Facilities Module. Of course, this lesson is always available to you for future reference if required.

You are now ready to move along to the next Aeronautical Rules and Facilities lesson you have not completed or to any other module you wish. You can advance to the Self Test Module if you feel ready to challenge the final exam.

Good Luck!
